FUEL AND LUBRICATION

• FUEL
Use regular grade unleaded gasoline mixed with Mcculloch
40:1 custom 2-cycle engine oil for best results. Use mixing
ratios in Feul Mixing Table.
WARNING: Never use straight gasoline in
your unit. This will cause permanent engine
damage and void the manufacturer's warran-
ty for that product. Never use a fuel mixture
that has been stored for over 90 days.
WARNING: If 2-cycle lubricant other than
Mcculloch Custom Lubricant is to be used, it must
be a premium grade oil for 2-cycle air cooled
engines mixed at a 40:1 ratio. Do not use any
2-cycle oil product with a recommended mix-
ing ratio of 100:1. If insufficient lubrication is

the cause of engine damage, it voids the
manufacturer's engine warranty.
