OIL AND FUEL MiXiNG
iNSTRUCTiONS
Old and/or improperly mixed fuel are the main reasons for the unit not
running properly. Be sure to use fresh, clean unleaded fuel. Follow the
instructions
carefully for the proper fuel/oil mixture.
Definition
of Blended
Fuels
m
I A
I WARNING:
It has been proven that fuel containing
greater thanl
15% ethanol will likely damage this engine and void the warranty.
Today's fuels are often a blend of gasoline and oxygenates such as ethanol,
methanol, or MTBE (ether). Alcohol-blended
fuel absorbs water. As little as
1% water in the fuel can make fuel and oil separate. It forms acids when
stored. When using alcohol-blended
fuel, use fresh fuel (less than 60 days
old).
Using Blended Fuels
If choosing to use a blended fuel, or its use is unavoidable,
follow
recommended
precautions:
Always use the fresh fuel mix explained in the operator's
manual
Always agitate the fuel mix before fueling the unit
Drain the tank and run the engine dry before storing the unit
Using Fuel Additives
I _
_CAUTION:
For proper engine operation and maximum
I
reliability,
pay strict attention t othe oil and fuel mixing instructions
onthe2-cyceo
contaner.Usng mproperymxedfue
can

severely damage the engine.
J
The bottle of 2-cycle oil that came with the unit contains a fuel additive that
will help inhibit corrosion and minimize the formation of gum deposits.
Always use a good 2-cycle oil designed for air-cooled engines along with a
fuel additive, such as STA-BIL® Gas Stabilizer or an equivalent. Add 0.8 oz.
(23 ml) of fuel additive per gallon of fuel according to the instructions
on the
container. NEVER add fuel additives directly to the unit's fuel tank.
Thoroughly mix the proper ratio of
2-cycle engine oil with unleaded
gasoline in a separate fuel can. Use
a 40:1 fuel/oil ratio. Do not mix
them directly in the engine fuel tank.
See the table below for specific gas
and oil mixing ratios.
NOTE:
One gallon (3.8 liters) of
unleaded gasoline mixed
with one 3.2 oz. (95 ml)
bottle of 2-cycle oil makes
a 40:1 fuel/oil ratio.
NOTE:
Dispose of the old fuel/oil
mix in accordance to
Federal, State and Local
regulations.
