Fueling

(Do Not Smoke!) (Fig. 22)
This product is powered by a 2-cycle engine and requires
pre-mixing gasoline and 2-cycle oil. Pre-mix unleaded gasoline
and 2-cycle engine oil in a clean container approved for gasoline
(Fig. 20).
RECOMMENDED FUEL: THIS ENGINE IS CERTIFIED TO
OPERATE ON UNLEADED GASOLINE INTENDED FOR
AUTOMOTIVE USE WITH AN OCTANE RATING OF 89 ([R + M]
/ 2) OR HIGHER (Fig. 21).
Mix 2-Cycle Engine Oil with gasoline according to the instructions
on the package. We strongly recommend the use of 2% (1:50)
Efco Two Cycle Engine Oil, which is specifically formulated for all
Efco air-cooled two-stroke engines.
21
The correct oil / fuel proportions shown in the table below are sui-
table when using the Efco Two Cycle Engine Oil or an equivalent
high-quality engine oil (JASO specification FD or ISO specifi-
cation L-EGD).
When oil specifications are NOT equivalent or unknown use 4%
(1:25) oil / fuel mixing ratio.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE AUTOMOTIVE OIL OR
2-CYCLE OUTBOARD OIL.
CAUTION: Never use a fuel with an alcohol percentage
higher than 10%. Gasohol with up to 10% alcohol or
22
E10 fuel are acceptable.
When using an oxygenated gasoline a good practice of fuel
management is necessary.
Gasoline oxygenated with alcohol readily takes up water when it
is present; the water may be condensed out of humid air or be a
contaminant in the fuel system, including tank.
CAUTION:
- Match your fuel purchases to your consumption;
don't buy more than you will use in one or two
months;
- Store gasoline in a tightly-closed container in a
cool, dry place.
The use of oxygenated gasoline may cause the occurrence of
vapor-lock easier.
NOTE: 2-Cycle Engine Oil contains a fuel stabilizer and will stay
fresh up to 30 days. DO NOT mix quantities larger than usable in
a 30 day period. A 2-cycle oil containing a fuel stabilizer is
recommended.
