Help Please

I know nothing about these machines but intend to learn on my alloment. Unfortuantely there are no instructions. Does anybody know what fuel said machine runs on and what oil it will need? The machine is perfect condition.

  I have googled the brand and make but the manufactor do not have a webite.

Hope someone can help !

OHV=Over Head Valves=4 stroke engine
Regular petrol, not ultra-high.
Engine oil - any car engine oil will do the job, but better to use oil for air cooled 4-stroke engines.
