FUEL: MIXING PETROL AND OIL
IMPORTANT: The engine used on this BUSHRANGER Hedge Trimmer is of a two-stroke design. The
internal moving parts of the engine, i.e., crankshaft bearings, piston pin bearings and piston to cylinder wall
contact surfaces, require oil mixed with the petrol for lubrication. Failure to add oil to the petrol or failure to
mix oil with the petrol at the appropriate ratio will cause major engine damage which will void your
warranty. For your fuel premix, only use a quality oil designed for two-stroke air-cooled engine.

FUEL MIXTURE CHART
Refer to the chart above.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS:
Always mix fuel and oil in a clean container approved for petrol. Mark the container to identify it as fuel mix
for the Hedge Trimmer. Use regular unleaded petrol and fill the container with half the required amount of
petrol. Pour the correct amount of oil into the container then add the remaining amount of petrol. Close the
container tightly and shake it momentarily to evenly mix the oil and the petrol before filling the fuel tank on
the Hedge Trimmer.

HALF PETROL
When refilling the Hedge Trimmer fuel tank, clean around the fuel tank cap to prevent dirt and debris for
entering the tank during cap removal. Always shake the premix fuel container momentarily before filling
the fuel tank.
Always use a spout or funnel when fueling to reduce fuel spillage. Only fill the tank to within 10 ~ 20 mm
from the top of the tank. Avoid filling to the top of the tank filler neck.
NOTE:
1. Never mix petrol and oil directly in the Hedge Trimmer fuel tank.
2. Do not use National Marine Manufacturer's Association (NMMA) or BIA certified oils. This type of
two-stroke engine oil does not have the proper additives for air-cooled, two-stroke engines and
can cause engine damages.
3. Do not use automotive motor oil. This type of oil does not have the proper additives for air-cooled,
two-stroke engines and can cause engine damage.
