Fuel
This product has a two-stroke engine.
1289 - 002 -
CAUTION: Incorrect type of fuel can result in
engine damage. Use a mixture of gasoline
and two-stroke oil.
Premixed fuel
•
Use RedMax premixed alkylate fuel of a good
quality, for best performance and extension of the
engine life. This fuel contains less harmful chemicals
compared to regular fuel, which decreases harmful
exhaust fumes. The quantity of remains after
combustion is lower with this fuel, which keeps the
components of the engine more clean.
To mix fuel
Gasoline
CAUTION: Always use a quality gasoline/oil
mixture of at least 90 octane (RON). There
is a risk that use of lower octane grade
causes knocking. This gives rise to high
engine temperature, which can result in
serious engine damage.
CAUTION: If your product is equipped with a
catalytic converter use a good quality
unleaded gasoline/oil mixture. Leaded
gasoline will destroy the catalytic converter.
•
Use low-emission gasoline, also know as alkylate
gasoline, if it is available.
•
Ethanol blended fuel, E10 may be used (max 10%
ethanol blend). Using ethanol blends higher than
E10 will cause lean running condition which can
damage the engine.
•
We recommend a higher octane rating when you do
work at continuous high speed.
Two-stroke oil
•
For best results and performance use RedMax two-
stroke oil.
•
If RedMax two-stroke oil is not available, use a two-
stroke oil of good quality for air-cooled engines.
Speak to your servicing dealer to select the correct
oil.
CAUTION: Do not use two-stroke oil for
water-cooled outboard engines, also
