WARNING: Experience indicates that alcohol blended
fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can
attract moisture which leads to separation and forma-
tion of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage
the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid
engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied
before storage for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank,
start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and
carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See
Storage Instructions for additional information. Never
use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel
tank or permanent damage may occur.
• TO THOROUGHLY
MIX OIL AND GASOLINE, fill
an approved,
clean container
with recommended
gasoline to one quarter full. Add recommended
oil
per 32:1 mix ratio (one gallon of gasoline requires
4 ounces of oil).
• Screw cap on container and shake vigorously. Then
remove cap and fill container with proper amount
of gasoline. Once oil and gasoline are mixed they
will not separate. DO NOT MIX OIL AND GASOLINE
DIRECTLY
IN THE ENGINE FUEL TANK.
Fill fuel tank with fuel mixture using a clean funnel.
Wipe up any fuel spillage from engine and snow
thrower before starting engine.
