BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
a WARNING: Be sure to read the fuel information
in the safety rules before you begin. If you do not
understand the safety rules, do not attempt to fuel
your unit. Call 1-800-487-5951.
MIXING FUEL
To obtain the correct oil mix ratio, pour 2.6 ounces of
2-cycle synthetic oil into one gallon of fresh gas.
IMPORTANT: This equipment is designed to operate on
unleaded gasoline with a minimum 87 octane (R+M/2
method), with ethanol blended up to 10% maximum by
volume (E-10). Before operation, gasoline must be mixed
with a good quality synthetic 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil
designed to be mixed at a ratio of 50:1.
Mix gasoline and oil at a ratio of 50:1. A 50:1 ratio is
obtained by mixing 2.6 fluid ounces of oil with 1 gallon of
unleaded gasoline. DO NOT USE automotive oil or marine
oil. These oils will cause engine damage. When mixing fuel,
follow instructions printed on container. Once oil is added
to gasoline, shake container momentarily to assure that the
fuel is thoroughly mixed. Always read and follow the safety
rules relating to fuel before fueling your unit. Purchase fuel
in quantities that can be used within 30 days to assure fuel
freshness.
