FILL GAS:
The engine is certified to comply with
California and US EPA emission regula-
tions for ULGE (Utility or Lawn and Gar-
den Equipment) engines. ULGE
engines are certified to operate on reg-
ular unleaded gasoline.
,_ WARNING: Alcohol blended
fuels (called gasohol or
those using ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture
which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel sys-
tem of an engine while in storage.
NOTE: To avoid engine problems, the
fuel system must be emptied before
storage for 30 days or longer. Start the
engine and let it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor are empty. Use the car-
buretor bowl drain to empty residual
gasoline from the float chamber. Use
fresh fuel next season. See the Stor-
age section in this manual for additional
information.
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.
HOW TO MIX THE FUEL MIXTURE
The two cycle engine, used on this
snow thrower, requires a mixture of
gasoline and oil for lubrication of the
bearings and other moving parts. The
correct fuel mixture ratio is 40:1 (3.2 oz.
oil per one gallon of gas- see the Fuel
Mixture Chart). Gasoline and oil must
be pre-mixed in a clean gasoline con-
tainer. Always use fresh, clean, un-
leaded gasoline.

Mix gasoline and oil as follows:
1. Pour one (1) U.S. quart of fresh,
clean, unleaded automotive gaso-
line into a one gallon size gasoline
container.
2. Add 3.2 ounces of clean, high quali-
ty, two-cycle oil to the gasoline con-
tainer.
IMPORTANT: Do not use out-
board motor oil or multi-viscosity
oils,such as 10W-30 or 10W-40.
3. Install the fuel cap onto the gasoline
container. Vigorously shake the
gasoline container to mix the oil
with the gasoline.
4. Add an additional three (3) U.S.
quarts of gasoline to the gallon con-
tainer. Again shake the gasoline
container.
Do not fill the fuel tank with gasoline that does not have oil mixed in it. Shake the
gasoline container before each filling of the fuel tank.
