Little Wonder Edger - Manual (Page 10)

Your Mantis Edger comes with a free pre-
measured bottle of two-cycle engine oil.
Here’s how to mix the oil with the gas.
1. Pour 1/2 gallon of the gasoline into a safe
one gallon container. Do not mix the fuel
and oil in the engine fuel tank.
2. Add the Mantis two-cycle engine oil
(2.6 ounces pre-measured) to the gasoline
and mix. Then add the other 1/2 gallon
of gasoline. (50:1 ratio)
3. Screw the cap onto the gasoline can, and
swirl the can to blend the oil and gas.
4. Carefully pour the fuel mix into the
Mantis Edger’s fuel tank. After putting
the fuel tank’s cap back on, wipe up any
spilled fuel from tank and gasoline can.
IMPORTANT:
Two-cycle fuel separates and ages. Do not
mix more than you will use in a month.
Using old fuel can cause difficult starting
or engine damage. Shake fuel container to
thoroughly mix fuel before each use. Do not
attempt to run your engine on gasoline only;
use the proper fuel mixture.

Your Mantis Edger is powered by a two-stroke, air cooled
engine which requires a fuel mixture of gasoline and
two-cycle oil.
Use a mixture of 50 parts unleaded regular gasoline and
1 part two-cycle oil (50:1). Use branded 89 octane
(R+M+2) unleaded gasoline or gasohol (max. 10% ethyl
alcohol, or 15% MTBE, no methyl alcohol).

your local authorized Mantis dealer.
Remember...
• Always mix two-cycle oil with gasoline
before fueling your edger. Never, ever run
your Edger on gasoline alone. This will ruin
your engine and void all warranties.
• Always use a clean gas can and always use
unleaded gas.
• Never try to mix the oil and gasoline in the
engine fuel tank.
• Always mix gasoline and oil in the proper
proportions: 1 gallon of unleaded gasoline
to 2.6 ounces of two-cycle engine oil.
(50:1 ratio)
IMPORTANT NOTE:
DO NOT use old or stale oil/gasoline
mixture. Always use the proper
oil/ gasoline mixture. If you do not,
your engine will suffer rapid,
permanent damage and you will
void the engine warranty.
