Make sure to stop the engine and allow it cool before refueling the unit. Select outdoor bare ground for fueling and move at least 10 ft (3 m) away from the fueling point before starting the engine. ■ GASOLINE REQUIREMENTS • All 2-Stroke RedMax Products are powered by RedMax Professional-Commercial Duty, Hi-Performance, Hi-RPM, Air Cooled 2-Stroke engines.
CHT2250 6. Fuel test standard has been discontinued by API in 1995 and it no longer exists. IMPORTANT • Gasoline/Oil mixture Storage Recommendations Store your gasoline or gasoline/oil mixture in a cool dry area in a tightly sealed approved container to limit the entry of moisture and additional air (oxygen). Moisture and air cause the development of varnish and gum, making the fuel stale. Stored gasoline and gasoline/oil mixture ages and loses its octane rating and volatility.
CHT2250 7. Operation ■ STARTING ENGINE pulling the rope or remove the spark plug and dry it. WARNING Keep the blades clear of the surrounding as they will start moving upon starting of the engine. OP1 OP5 1. When first starting up after putting fuel into the machine, push the priming pump until fuel runs out in the clear tube. Then close the choke. Choking may not be necessary when re-starting right after stopping the engine.
CHT2250 7. Operation thick twigs, move your unit slowly back and forth like a saw, and they can be cut to a fine finish. NOTE U S • When a new unit is first operated, in the first few minutes grease may come out of the gear case. But, since this is excess grease, there is no cause for alarm. For next use just wipe it off with the engine stopped. HEDGE TRIMMING TECHNIQUES Trim sides of a hedge first, and then the top.
