OPERATION
• NEVER refuel a unit when the engine is HOT or RUNNING!
• DO NOT fill fuel tanks indoors. ALWAYS fill fuel tanks outdoors over bare ground.
• DO NOT overfill fuel tank. Wipe up spills immediately.
• Securely tighten fuel tank cap and close fuel container after refueling.
• Inspect for fuel leakage. If fuel leakage is found, do not start or operate unit until leakage is
repaired.
• Move at least 3m (10 ft.) from refueling location before starting the engine.
Mixing Instructions
1. Fill an approved fuel container with half of the required
amount of gasoline.
2. Add the proper amount of 2-stroke oil to gasoline.
3. Close container and shake to mix oil with gasoline.

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.
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.
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.
