Fuel leakage can cause fire or explosion,
potentially leading to severe injury or loss
of life. Every fuel system part should be
checked periodically, and especially after
long term storage, for fuel leak, change of
hardness of rubber, expansion and/or cor-
rosion of metals. In case any indication of
fuel leakage or degradation of fuel part is
found, replace relevant part immediately
before continuing operation.

2. Engine oil recommendation

ENOW0002A-A
Use of engine oils that do not meet these

Will not recommend use of other two
stroke engine oil.
Add engine oil into fuel oil tank. The mixing
ratio with gasoline is 50 : 1 (50 parts gaso-

- Lack of engine oil can cause severe
engine trouble such as piston seizure.
- Excess of engine oil can shorten spark
plug life, and/or cause increase of nox-
ious exhaust.
For quantities of engine oil and gasoline to
be pre-mixed, refer to table in previous
page.
