Always turn off the engine and allow it to cool down rst . Fill
the tank with the clean, fresh pre-mixed petrol and 2-stroke
oil. Use a funnel if required to prevent any unnecessary
spillages. Wipe up all spilled fuel completely. When relling
the tank, take a careful look around to make sure that there
are no sparks or open ames anywhere nearby before
refuelling. After relling the tank replace the fuel cap.
The engine of our product is designed to run on
a mixed fuel of petrol and 2-stroke which is highly
ammable. Never smoke while relling its fuel tank.
Place on the ground or on a sturdy work surface,
and wipe any debris from around the fuel cap.
Remove the fuel cap and ll the tank to no more
than 80% capacity.The fuel cap must be secure
and tight for the carburettor to prime.

Always ensure your petrol is mixed with 2-stroke oil at a ratio of 40:1(PETROL:OIL) so the machine runs
at its optimum performance. Too much 2-stroke oil and the machine will smoke, too little and premature
engine damage will occur. Please use the table above when calculating your 40:1(PETROL:OIL) mix if
you need to mix a larger quantity than the fuel mix bottle provided with this product.
ALWAYS MIX FUEL TO CORRECT 40:1 RATIO (PETROL:OIL)
• Danger of re and burn injury! Always use extreme care when handling petrol. It is highly ammable.

repair / replace as necessary.
Never store the machine with fuel left inside the fuel
tank, fuel lines and carburettor. Petrol is corrosive and
can and will corrode the fuel lines over time. Petrol also
evapourates quickly but 2-stroke does not, this will
block the jets of the carburettor causing starting issues
when you next want to use the machine at a later date.
Always drain the fuel tank and clear the carburettor
and fuel lines by emptying the fuel tank, starting the
machine and running until the machine stops.
Never transport the product over rough roads or long
distances by vehicle without removing all fuel from the
fuel tank. If doing so fuel might leak from the tank during
transportation and create unnecessary re hazards.
DRAIN THE FUEL AFTER USE
• Never refuel when the engine is running.
• Allow engine to cool before attempting to rell the fuel tank.
• Do not store the machine with any fuel left in the fuel system..
