FUELING ENGINE
WARNING:
when refueling.
HELPFUL TIP
To obtain the correct oil mix
ratio, pour 2.6 ounces of
2- - cycle synthetic oil into
one gallon of fresh gas.
IMPORTANT:
This equipment is designed to
operate on unleaded gasoline with a minimum
87 octane (R+M/2 method), with ethanol blen-
ded up to 10% maximum by volume (E-10). Be-
fore operation, gasoline must be mixed with a
good quality synthetic 2-cycle air-cooled engine
oil designed to be mixed at a ratio of 50:1. Mix
gasoline and oil at a ratio of 50:1. A 50:1 ratio is
obtained by mixing 2.6 fluid ounces of oil with 1
gallon of unleaded gasoline. DO NOT USE
automotive oil or marine oil. These oils will
cause engine damage. When mixing fuel, follow
instructions printed on container. Once oil is ad-
ded to gasoline, shake container momentarily to
assure that the fuel is thoroughly mixed. Always
read and follow the safety rules relating to fuel
before fueling your unit. Purchase fuel in quantit-
ies that can be used within 30 days to assure
fuel freshness.
CAUTION:
Never use straight gasoline in
your unit. This will cause permanent engine
damage and void the limited warranty. Do not
use alternate fuels such as ethanol blends
above 10% by volume (E-15, E-85) or any
methanol blended fuel. Use of these fuels can
cause major engine performance and durability
problems.
