1. Place the equipment on a stable, level surface with the fuel tank cap (15) facing
upwards. We recommend laying a non-ammable sheet under the equipment.
2. Pour a regular-grade unleaded petrol and a quality engine oil for air cooled 2-stroke
engines in the supplied fuel mixing bottle (20) respectively via the 2 openings. Use
the scale markings on different sides for the desired ratio for petrol:oil. For example,
ll petrol to scale marking “10” rst, and then ll 2-stroke oil to scale marking “10”.
This indicates a correct ratio of 40:1 when using the scale 40:1.
3. Tilt and shake the bottle thoroughly to mix the fuel.
NOTE: Use an anti-oxidant added quality oil expressly labelled for air-cooledUse an anti-oxidant added quality oil expressly labelled for air-cooled
2 stroke engine use (JASO FC GRADE OIL or ISO EGC GRADE). Do not use2 stroke engine use (JASO FC GRADE OIL or ISO EGC GRADE). Do not use
