Fuel

WARNING
• Gasoline is very flammable. Avoid
smoking or bringing any flame or
sparks near fuel. Make sure to stop the
engine and allow it cool before
refueling the unit. Select outdoor bare
ground for fueling and move at least
3m(10ft) away from the fueling stop
before starting the engine.

■ FUEL MIX

• The engine is lubricated by oil mixed into
gasoline. Prepare a mixture of unleaded,
alcohol-free gasoline and RedMax oil or an
anti-oxidant added quality oil expressly
labeled for air-cooled 2-cycle engine use.
Recommended mixing ratio is 32 : 1.
• Make sure to use gasoline with a minimum
octane number of 90 ROZ(USA/Canada :
pump octane min.87)
• Unleaded gasoline is recommended to
reduce the contamination of the air for the
sake of your health and the environment.
• Poor quality gasolines or oils may damage
sealing rings, fuel lines or fuel tank of the
engine.
• Exhaust emission are controlled by the
fundamental engine parameters and
components (eq., carburetion, ignition
timing and port timing) without addition
of any major hardware or the introduc-
tion of an inert material during combus-
tion.

• These engines are certified to operate
on unleaded gasoline.

■ MIXING FUEL

1.Measure out the quantities of gasoline and
oil to be mixed.
2.Put some of the gasoline into a clean,
marked fuel container.
3.Pour in all of the oil, cap the container and
shake it well.
4.Pour in the rest of gasoline and shake
again for one minute.
5.Indicate the contents on outside of
container for easy identification.
DO NOT USE :
• Fuel containing no oil (raw gasoline)
may cause the engine to become
overheated and damaged.
• Gasohol may cause deterioration of rubber
and plastic parts and disruption of the
engine lubrication.
• Oil for 4-cycle engine use or water-
cooled 2-cycle engine use may cause
spark plug fouling, carbon building-up and
piston ring sticking.
• Mixed fuels which have been left unused
for a period of one month or more may
clog the carburetor or result in the engine
failing to operate properly.

■ FUELING

1.Unfasten and remove the fuel cap. Put the
cap on a clean surface for dirt prevention.
2.Pour fuel into the fuel tank up to 80% of full
capacity.
3.Replace the fuel cap and tighten securely.
Spilled fuel must be wiped away from the
trimmer before starting the engine.
