PRIMARY MAINTENANCE
On 4-cyle engines with an oil level plug,
don't be footed into thinking the engine has
sufficient lubricating all If you can see "some"
oll In the opening - the level should always be
brought up to the point of
top of the fill hole.
@
On 2-cyele engines, lubrication must be
provided by an exact mixture of gasoline
and 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil. A 2-cycle
engine that Is mistakenly run on strelght
gasoline will be ruined in less than 5
mlnutosl If you keep straight gasoline In
addition to pre-mlxed 2-cycle engine fuel,
be sure the containers are clearly marked
to avoid mix-up.
Snapper 2-cyale engines require a 32 to 1
mixture of gasoline and BIA certified TC-W
oU such as Snapper's 2-cyele engine oil
Many of the 2-cyele engine oils on the
market today make fantasflc claims, but for
the best performance and long engine life,
always use Snapper 2-cycle oti. Premix
the fuel and always shake the container
before filling the tank.
