DANGER
FUEL STATEMENT
GASOLINE - Use 89 Octane [(R+M)/2] (mid grade
or higher) gasoline or gasohol known to be good
quality.
Gasohol may contain up to 10 % Ethyl (grain)
alcohol or 15 % MTBE (methyl teriary-butyl ether).
Gasohol containing methyl (wood) alcohol is NOT
approved.
TWO-STROKE OIL - A two-stroke engine oil
meeting ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and JASO
FC Standards must be used. ECHO brand premium
Power Blend™ Universal 2-Stroke Oil meets these
standards. Engine problems due to inadequate
lubrication caused by failure to use an ISO-L-EGD
and JASO FC certified oil, such as ECHO premium
Power Blend™, will void the two-stroke engine
warranty. (Emission related parts only are covered
for two years, regardless of two-stroke oil used, per
the statement listed in the Emission Defect
Warranty Explanation.)
HANDLING FUEL
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS -
1. Fill an approved fuel container with half of the
required amount of gasoline.
2. Add the proper amount of two-stroke oil to
gasoline.
3. Close container and shake to mix oil with
gasoline.
4. Add remaining gasoline, close fuel container,
and remix.
IMPORTANT
• Spilled fuel is a leading cause of hydrocarbon
emissions. Some states may require the use of
automatic fuel shut-off containers to reduce fuel
spillage.
• Stored fuel ages.
Do not mix more fuel than you expect to use in
thirty (30) days, ninety (90) days when a fuel
stabilizer is added.
• Stored two-stroke fuel may separate. ALWAYS
shake fuel container thoroughly before each
use.
AFTER USE -
DO NOT store a unit with fuel in its tank. Leaks can
occur. Return unused fuel to an approved fuel
storage container.
STORAGE -
Fuel storage laws vary by locality. Contact your
local government for the laws affecting your area.
As a precaution, store fuel in an approved, airtight
container. Store in a well-ventilated, unoccupied
building, away from sparks and flames.
