This engine is certified to operate on
unleaded gasoline. 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 40:1. We recommend Crafts-
man brand synthetic oil. A 40:1 ratio
is obtained by mixing 3.2 fluid ounc-
es (95ml) of oil with 1 gallon (4 liters)
