damage.
Do not use automotive motor oil. This type of
oil does not have the proper additives for air-
cooled, 2-cycle engines and can cause engine
damage.
Recommended Fuel Type
Use clean, fresh lead-free gasoline, including
oxygenated or reformulated gasoline, with an octane
rating of 89 or higher. To ensure freshness, purchase
only the quantity of gasoline that can be used in 30
days. Use of lead-free gasoline results in fewer
combustion chamber deposits and longer spark plug
life. Use of premium grade fuel is not necessary or
recommended.
Use of Fuel Additives
IMPORTANT: NEVER USE ALCOHOL,
GASOHOL CONTAINING MORE THAN
10% ALCOHOL BECAUSE ENGINE FUEL
SYSTEM DAMAGE COULD RESULT.
DO NOT USE FUEL ADDITIVES OTHER
THAN THOSE MANUFACTURED FOR
FUEL STABILIZATION DURING STORAGE
SUCH AS MARUYAMA'S STABILIZER/
CONDITIONER OR A SIMILAR PRODUCT.

Mixing Gasoline And Oil
IMPORTANT: The engine used on this Hedge
trimmer is of a 2-cycle 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 gasoline for lubrication.
Failure to add oil to the gasoline or failure to
mix oil with the gasoline at the appropriate
ratio will cause major engine damage which will
void your warranty.
For your fuel premix, use Maruyama Premium
2-cycle Oil Mix, or equivalent ISO-L-EGD &
JASO FD oil with a minimum 89 octane high
quality gasoline. Maruyama 2-cycle oil is
specially formulated to meet the requirements
of high-performance, low-emission air-cooled
2-cycle engines. Use of other oils may lead to
service issues which may not be covered by your
warranty.
