4. Setup

4.1 Fuel Mixing

The eSkde 5-In-1 Multi Tool is powered by a 52cc 2-stroke engine, requiring a specific fuel mixture. Use the provided fuel mixing bottle for accurate ratios.

• Recommended Ratio: Consult your engine specifications for the precise petrol to 2-stroke oil ratio. A common ratio for 2-stroke engines is 25:1 (25 parts unleaded petrol to 1 part 2-stroke oil).
• Mixing: Pour the required amount of 2-stroke oil into the mixing bottle, then add unleaded petrol up to the marked level for your desired ratio. Shake well to ensure thorough mixing.
• Filling the Tank: Carefully pour the mixed fuel into the tool's fuel tank. Do not overfill. Secure the fuel cap tightly.
