Before Starting
Mixing Gasoline and Oil
Your blower is powered by a two-cycle engine which
requires a 50:1 mixture of gasoline and oil.
Use only clean, fresh, lead-free gasoline (including
oxygenated or reformulated gasoline) with an octane
rating of 87 or higher. To ensure freshness, purchase only
the amount of gasoline you expect to use in 30 days.
Using unleaded gasoline results in fewer combustion
chamber deposits and longer spark plug life.
IMPORTANT: Do not use methanol, gasoline
containing methanol, gasohol containing more than
10% ethanol, premium gasoline, or white gas. Using
these fuels can damage the engine's fuel system.
IMPORTANT: Do not use automotive oil (i.e., SAE 30
or 10W30), a two-cycle oil that is not NMMA
TCW III-certified, or a fuel mixed at the wrong
gasoline/oil ratio. This can cause engine damage not
covered under the warranty.

DANGER
POTENTIAL HAZARD
In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you
and others and can damage property.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, and
when the engine is cold. Wipe up any gasoline
that spills.
Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add
gasoline to the fuel tank until the level is 1/4 to
1/2 inch (6 to 13 mm) below the bottom of the
filler neck. This empty space in the tank allows
gasoline to expand.
Never smoke when handling gasoline, and stay
away from an open flame or where a spark may
ignite the gasoline fumes.
Store gasoline in an approved container and
keep it out of the reach of children.
Never buy more than a 30-day supply of
gasoline.
