How to mix two-stroke oil and fuel for a grass trimmer and brushcutter

WARNING: Do not smoke or place hot objects near fuel.

WARNING: Always shut off the engine before refueling.

WARNING: Always stop the engine and let it cool for a few minutes before refueling. 

WARNING: Mix and pour fuel outdoors, where there are no sparks or flames.

WARNING: When refueling, open the fuel cap slowly so that any access pressure is released gently. 

WARNING: Tighten the fuel cap carefully after refueling.

WARNING: Always move the product away from the refueling area and source before starting.

Proper fuel mixing tips for grass trimmers and brushcutters:

  1. Always mix the fuel and oil in a clean container intended for fuel.
  2. Always start by filling half the amount of the fuel to be used, add the entire amount of oil, mix (agitate) the fuel mixture, add the remaining amount of gasoline.
  3. Do not mix more than one month's supply of fuel at a time.
  4. Mix the fuel mixture thoroughly before filling the machine's fuel tank.
  5. Mix the correct ratio as specified by the manufacturer.

To find the fuel mix ratio, please refer to your product's operator's manual.

Fuel and oil mixture should always be 2% (50:1). We recommend you use Husqvarna oil mixtures.
