The product is powered by a 2-stroke engine
and requires premixing petrol and 2-stroke oil.
The mixture should be at a 50:1 ratio.

synthetic 2-stroke lubricant. Only use a quality
synthetic 2-stroke lubricant in the product to
ensure top performance and engine longevity.
NOTE: If using similar containers for different
fuels, label the container with its contents and
the date it was added.
TO MIX THE FUEL:
■
Pre-mix unleaded petrol and 2-stroke
engine lubricant in a clean container
approved for petrol.

The engine of the product is certified to
operate on unleaded petrol intended for
automotive use with an octane rating of 91
or higher.

Do not use any type of pre-mixed petrol/
lubricant from fuel service stations; this
includes the pre-mixed petrol/lubricant
intended for use in mopeds, motorcycles,
etc.

FILLING THE TANK
Petrol is extremely flammable and explosive.
A fire or explosion from petrol will burn you
and others. Always shut off engine before
fuelling. Never add fuel to a machine with
a running or hot engine. Move at least 9 m
from refuelling site before starting engine.
Do not smoke and stay away from open
flames and sparks. Failure to safely handle
fuel could result in serious personal injury.
1. Clean the surface around the fuel cap to
prevent contamination.
2. Loosen the fuel cap slowly.
3. Pour the fuel mixture carefully into the tank.
4. Clean and inspect the fuel cap gasket
before replacing the fuel cap.
5. Replace the fuel cap and tighten it. Do not
cross thread the fuel cap.
6. Wipe spilled fuel from the product.
7. Move at least 9 m away from refuelling
area before starting the product.
NOTE: It is normal for smoke to be emitted
from a new engine during first use.
Check for fuel leaks. A leaking fuel cap
is a fire hazard and must be replaced
immediately. If you find any leaks, correct
the problem before using the product.
Failure to do so could result in a fire that
could cause serious personal injury.
