Fuel
Use a mixture of unleaded gasoline and 2-stroke engine oil for best results.
WARNING: Do not pour gasoline directly into the machine. This will cause irreversible damage to the engine and will
void the warranty. Do not use a fuel mixture that has been stored for more than 90 days.
Oil / fuel mixture
First put oil in an approved container. Then add gasoline, and shake the container to get a full mix. The oil / fuel ratio
must be 40: 1
Refueling
Open the fuel tank by removing its cap. Gently pour the fuel. Wipe off any overflow. Then close the tank.
