Mixing Fuel
This product is powered by a 2-cycle engine and
requires pre-mixing fuel and 2-cycle oil. Pre-mix
unleaded gasoline and 2-cycle engine oil in a clean
container approved for fuel. Do not mix quantities
larger than usable in a 30-day period.
Important:
To prevent engine damage, do not use
automotive oil (such as SAE 30 or 10W30) or fuel
mixed at the wrong fuel-to-oil ratio.

7.6 L (2 US gallons)
19 L (5 US gallons)
1.
Pour 1.9 L (0.5 US gallon) fresh, unleaded fuel
into an approved fuel container.
2.
Add 2-cycle oil to the fuel according to the chart.
Note:
When you purchase the machine, you will
receive a 76 ml (2.6 fl oz) bottle of oil. Mix this
bottle with 3.8 L (1 US gallon) of recommended
fuel.

3.
Install the cap on the fuel container.
4.
Shake the container to mix the fuel and oil
thoroughly.
5.
Slowly remove the cap and add the remaining
amount of fuel.
Note:
Do not mix fuel and oil in the fuel tank. Oil at
room temperature mixes easier and more thoroughly
than cold oil. Oil below 0°C (32°F) requires additional
mixing.
Using Stabilizer/Conditioner
Use fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the machine to keep
the fuel fresh longer when used as directed by the
fuel-stabilizer manufacturer.
Important:
Do not use fuel additives containing
methanol or ethanol.
Add the amount of fuel stabilizer/conditioner to fresh
fuel as directed by the fuel-stabilizer manufacturer.
Filling the Fuel Tank
Fuel-tank capacity: 1.1 L (36 fl oz)
Refer to your engine owner's manual for additional
information.
Fill the fuel tank as shown in
