NOTE: Do not use gasoline containing methanol (wood al-
cohol). Fuel containing up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to
15% MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) may be used, but re-
quires special care when the engine is not used for extended
periods. See "STORAGE" instructions in Engine Owner's
Manual for additional information.
3. The fuel/oil mix ratio is 24:1 with the use of a NMMA clas-
sified oil. For new engines, use twice the normal oil quantity
for the first gallon of fuel. NOTE: Due to differences in fuel and
oil availability worldwide, Tecumseh recommends a 16:1 mix
ratio if NMMA oil is not available.

C. Screw cap on container and shake vigorously. Then un-
screw cap and fill container with gasoline per
Chart 1: FUEL MIXTURE. Screw on cap and shake again.

pansion. Install fuel cap and clean up any fuel spills.
