fuel, use fresh fuel (less than 30 days old).
USING BLENDED FUELS
If choosing to use a blended fuel, or its use is unavoidable, follow
recommended precautions:
CAUTION:
For proper engine operation and
maximum reliability, pay strict attention to the oil
and fuel mixing instructions on the 2-cycle oil
container. Using improperly mixed fuel can severely
damage the engine.
• 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
The bottle of 2-cycle oil contains a fuel additive which will help
inhibit corrosion and minimize the formation of gum deposits. It is
recommended to use our 2-cycle oil with this unit.
If unavailable, 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
fuel 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 for specific gas and oil
mixing ratios.
NOTE: One gallon (3.8 liters) of unleaded fuel 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.
WARNING:
DO NOT USE E85 FUEL IN THIS
UNIT. It has been proven that fuel containing
greater than 10% ethanol will likely damage this
engine and void the warranty.
WARNING:
Remove fuel cap slowly to avoid injury
from fuel spray. Never operate the unit without the
fuel cap securely in place.
