Before Operation

Oil and Fuel

DANGER

POTENTIAL HAZARD

- In certain conditions gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

- A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you, others, and cause property damage.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

• Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, when the engine is cold. Wipe up any gasoline that spills.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add gasoline to the fuel tank until the level is 1/4" to 1/2" (6 mm to 13 mm) below the bottom of the filler neck. This empty space in the tank allows gasoline to expand.
• Never smoke when handling gasoline, and stay away from an open flame or where gasoline fumes may be ignited by a spark.
• Store gasoline in an approved container and keep it out of the reach of children.
• Never buy more than a 30-day supply of gasoline.

WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD

• Gasoline contains gasses that can build up pressure inside a gas tank.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

- Fuel can be sprayed on you when removing gas cap.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

- Remove fuel cap slowly to avoid injury from fuel spray.

1. Do not smoke near fuel.

2. Mix and pour fuel outdoors and where there are no sparks or flames.

3. Always shut off the engine before refueling. Never remove the fuel tank cap while the engine is running or just right after sopping the engine.

4. Always open the fuel tank cap slowly to release any possible overpressure inside the tank.
5. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Stop filling 1/4-1/2 inch (6 mm-13 mm) from the top of the tank.
6. Tighten the fuel tank cap carefully but firmly after refilling.
7. Wipe up any spilled fuel before starting the engine.
8. Move the Handheld Blower at least 10 feet (3 m) away from the fueling location and fuel storage container before starting the engine.

Recommended Oil Type

Only use a two-stroke engine oil formulated for use in high-performance, air-cooled two-stroke engines.

MARUYAMA brand two-stroke oil is formulated for use in high-performance, air-cooled two- stroke engines.

IMPORTANT: Do not use National Marine Manufacturer's Association (NMMA) or BIA certified oils. This type of stroke engine oil does not have the proper additives for aircooled, two-stroke engines and can cause engine damage.

Do not use automotive motor oil. This type of oil does not have the proper additives for aircooled, two-stroke 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 85 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 METHANOL, GASOLINE CONTAINING METHANOL, GASOHOL CONTAINING MORE THAN 10% ETHANOL, PREMIUM GASOLINE, OR WHITE GAS 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. MARUYAMA'S STABILIZER/CONDITIONER IS A PETROLEUM DISTILLATE BASED CONDITIONER/STABILIZER.

MARUYAMA DOES NOT RECOMMEND STABILIZERS WITH AN ALCOHOL BASE SUCH AS ETHANOL, METHANOL OR ISOPROPYL. ADDITIVES SHOULD NOT BE USED TO TRY TO ENHANCE THE POWER OR PERFORMANCE OF MACHINE.

Mixing Gasoline And Oil

IMPORTANT: The engine used on this Handheld Blower is of a two-stroke 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, only use a quality oil designed for two-stroke air cooled engines. MARUYAMA 50:1 two-stroke Oil is formulated to meet the requirements of high-performance, air-cooled two-stroke engines.

Fuel Mixture

The fuel: oil ratio is 50 parts gasoline to 1 part oil or 50:1.

50:1

Note: Never use a mixing ratio less than 50:1 regardless of the oil package mixing instructions. Ratios less 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.

Fuel Mixture Chart

Gasoline	50:1 two-stroke oil
1 gallon	2,6 oz.
2 gallons	5,1 oz.
5 gallons	12,8 oz.

1 litre	20 mL
5 litre	100 mL

Mixing Instructions

IMPORTANT: Never mix gasoline and oil directly in the Handheld Blower fuel tank.

1. Always mix fuel and oil in a clean container approved for gasoline.
2. Mark the container to identify it as fuel mix for the Handheld Blower.
3. Use regular unleaded gasoline and fill the container with half the required amount of gasoline.
4. Pour the correct amount of oil into the container then add the remaining amount of gasoline.
5. Close the container tightly and shake it momentarily to evenly mix the oil and the gasoline before filling the fuel tank on the Handheld Blower.
6. When refilling the Handheld Blower fuel tank, clean around the fuel tank cap to prevent dirt and debris from entering the tank during cap removal.
7. Always shake the premix fuel container momentarily before filling the fuel tank.
8. Always use a spout or funnel when fueling to reduce fuel spillage.
9. Fill the tank only to within 1/4-1/2 inch (6 mm-13 mm) from the top of the tank. Avoid filling to the top of the tank filler neck.

Starting and Stopping Before Starting the Engine

1. Fill the fuel tank as instructed in the "Before Operation" section of this manual (page US 11).
2. Rest the Handheld Blower on the ground.
3. Make sure that the area is clear of any broken glass, nails, wire, rocks or other debris.
4. Keep all bystanders, children and animals away from the working area.
