[. . . ] Be sure to use fresh, clean unleaded fuel. Follow the instructions carefully for the proper fuel/oil mixture. Definition of Blended Fuels Today's fuels are often a blend of gasoline and oxygenates such as ethanol, methanol or MTBE (ether). As little as 1% water in the fuel can make fuel and oil separate. When using alcohol-blended fuel, use fresh fuel (less than 60 days old). Using Blended Fuels If you choose to use a blended fuel, or its use is unavoidable, follow recommended precautions. • Always use fresh fuel mix per your operator's manual. • Always agitate the fuel mix before fueling the unit. • Drain the tank and run the engine dry before storing the unit. Using Fuel Additives The bottle of TROY-BILT 2-Cycle oil that came with your unit contains a fuel additive which will help inhibit corrosion and minimize the formation of gum deposits. It is recommended that you use only TROY-BILT 2-Cycle oil with this unit. Gasoline is extremely flammable. Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before filling the fuel tank.

Line release becomes more difficult as cutting line becomes shorter. Each time the head is bumped, about 1 inch (25. 4 mm) of trimming line is released. A blade in the cutting attachment shield will cut the line to the proper length if excess line is released.
