OPERATING PROCEDURES
Fuel (Fig. 15)
WARNING
The trimmer is equipped with a two-stroke
engine. Always run the engine on fuel mixed
with oil.
Provide good ventilation, when fueling or
handling fuel.
Fuel
○ Always use branded 89 octane unleaded
gasoline.
○ Use genuine two-cycle oil or use a mix between
25:1 to 50:1, please consult the oil bottle for the
ratio or Tanaka dealer.
○ Only for the state of California at 50:1.
○ If genuine oil is not available, use an antioxidant
added quality oil expressly labeled for air-cooled
2-cycle engine use (JASO FC GRADE OIL or ISO
EGC GRADE). Do not use BIA or TCW (2-stroke
water-cooling type) mixed oil.
○ Never use multi-grade oil (10 W/30) or waste oil.
○ Always mix fuel and oil in a separate clean
container.
Always start by fi lling half the amount of fuel, which
is to be used. Then add the whole amount of oil. Mix
(shake) the fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount
of fuel. Mix (shake) the fuel-mix thoroughly before
fi lling the fuel tank.

Fueling

● Slowly open the fuel tank, when fi lling up
with fuel, so that possible overpressure
disappears.
● Tighten the fuel cap carefully, after fueling.
● Always move the trimmer at least 10 ft. (3 m)
from the fueling area before starting.
Before fueling, clean the tank cap area carefully,
to ensure that no dirt falls into the tank. Make sure
that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the container,
before fueling.
