• Add unleaded gasoline to the bottle up to the corresponding mark for the correct ratio.
• Securely close the bottle and shake well to ensure thorough mixing.

• Push the attachment firmly into the coupling until it clicks into place.
• Secure the attachment using the locking knob or bolt provided in the tool kit. Ensure it is tightly fastened.
