FUELING INSTRUCTIONS
FUEL MIXTURE :
When using Cub Cadet Commercial 50:1 2-cycle
brand oil, or a quality oil designed for 2-cycle air-
cooled engines, oil ratio is 50 parts gasoline to 1
part oil or 50:1.
CAUTION
Never use a mixing ratio greater than 50:1
regardless of the oil package mixing instructions.
Ratios greater than 50:1,(for example, 60:1,
80:1, 100:1), reduce the amount of lubrication to
the internal moving parts of the engine and can
cause damage.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS :
Always mix fuel and oil in a clean container
approved for gasoline. Mark the container to
identify it as fuel mix for the trimmer. Use regular
unleaded gasoline and fill the container with half
therequired amount of gasoline. Pour the correct
amount of oil into the container then add the
remaining amount of gasoline. Close the container
lightly and shake it momentarily to evenly mix the
oil and the gasoline before filling the fuel tank on
the trimmer.
When refilling the 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.
CAUTION
1. Do not use National Marine Manufacturer’s
Association (NMMA) or BIA certified oils. This
type of 2-cycle engine oil does not have the
proper additives for air-cooled, 2-cycle
engines and can cause engine damage.
2. 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.
NOTE:
1. Never mix gasoline and oil directly in the
trimmer fuel tank.
2. Check for fuel leakage around the tank cap
and the fuel tank before the operation.
Always use a spoul or funnel when fueling to
reduce fuel spillage. Only fill the tank to within 1/4-
1/2 inch from the top of the tank. Avoid filling to the
top of the tank filler neck.
