MARUYAMA does not recommend stabilizers with an alcohol base such as ethanol, methanol or isopropyl. Additives should not
be used to try to enhance the power or performance of machine.
FUEL: MIXING GASOLINE AND OIL
CAUTION!
The engine used on this Backpack blower is of a 2-stroke design. The internal moving parts of the engine, i.e.,
crankshaft bearings, piston pin bearings and piston to cylinder wall contact surfaces, require oil mixed with the gasoline for
lubrication. Failure to add oil to the gasoline or failure to mix oil with the gasoline at the appropriate ratio will cause major engine
damage which will void your warranty. For your fuel premix, only use Maruyama 50:1 2-Stroke Oil or quality oil designed for
2-stroke air-cooled engine.
FUEL MIXTURE:
When using genuine Maruyama 50:1 2-Stroke Oil,
or a quality oil designed for 2- stroke air-cooled engines, oil ratio is 50 parts
gasoline to 1 part oil or 50:1.
CAUTION!
If Maruyama brand oil is not used, never use a mixing ratio
less than 50:1 regardless of the oil package mixing instructions.
Ratios less the 50:1, (for example, 60:1, 80:1, 100:1), reduce the amount of
lubrication to the internal moving parts of the engine and can cause damage.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS:
identify it as fuel mix for the Backpack Blower. Use regular unleaded gasoline and fill the container with half the required amount of
gasoline. Pour the correct amount of oil into the container then add the remaining amount of gasoline. Close the container tightly and
shake it momentarily to evenly mix the oil and the gasoline before filling the fuel tank on the Backpack Blower.
When refilling the Backpack Blower fuel tank, clean around the fuel tank cap to prevent dirt and debris for entering the tank during
cap removal. Always shake the premix fuel container momentarily before filling the fuel tank.
Always use a spout or funnel when fueling to reduce fuel spillage. Only fill the tank to within 1/2 inch from the top of the tank.
Avoid filing to the top of the tank filler neck.
NOTE:
1. Never mix gasoline and oil directly in the Backpack Blower fuel tank.
CAUTION!
1. Do not use National Marine Manufacturer's Association (NMMA) or BIA certified oils. This type or 2-stroke engine oil does not
have the proper additives for air-cooled, 2-stroke engines and can cause engine damage.
2. Do not use automotive motor oil. This type of oil does not have the proper additives for air-cooled, 2-stroke engines and can
cause engine damage.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and can be explosive under
certain conditions.
Turn the engine switch OFF. Do not smoke. Make sure the
area is well ventilated and free from any source of flame of
sparks : this includes any appliance with a pilot light.
Always mix fuel and oil in a clean container approved for gasoline. Mark the container to
