gasoline.
Use genuine two-cycle oil or use a mix
between 25:1 to 50:1, please consult the oil
bottle for the ratio or Tanaka dealer.
Only for the state of California at 50:1.
If genuine oil is not available, use an anti-
oxidant added quality oil expressly labeled for
air-cooled 2-cycle engine use(JASO FC
GRADE OIL or ISO EGC GRADE). Do not use
BIA or TCW (2-stroke water-cooling type)

which is to be used. Then add the whole
amount of oil. Mix (shake) the fuel mixture. Add
the remaining amount of fuel.

to ensure that no dirt falls into the tank. Make sure
