OIL AND FUEL MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
--
I
_L_ ARNING:
It has been proven that fuel containing greater than
15% ethanol will likely damage this engine and void the warranty.
Old and/or improperly mixed fuel are the main reasons for the unit not
running properly. Be sure to use fresh, clean unleaded fuel. Follow the
instructions carefully for the proper
fuel/oil mixture, m
DEFINITION OF BLENDED FUELS _ _,_
Today's fuels are often a blend of gasoline
and oxygenates such as ethanol,
methanol, or MTBE (ether). Alcohol- ' '
blended fuel absorbs water. As little as 1% UNLEADED GAS 2 CYCLE OIL
water in the fuel can make fuel and oil
1 GALLON US 3.2 FL. OZ.
separate. It forms acids when stored. (3.8 LITERS) (95 ml)
When using alcohol-blended fuel, use fresh
1 LITER 25 ml
fuel (less than 30 days old). MIXING RATIO - 40:1
USING BLENDED FUELS
_[__J CAUTION:
For proper engine operation and maximum
reliability, pay strict attention to the oil and fuel mixing instructions
on the 2-cycle oil container. Using improperly mixed fuel can
severely damage the engine.
If choosing to use a blended fuel, or its use is unavoidable, follow
recommended precautions:
• Always use the fresh fuel mix explained in the operator's manual
• Always agitate the fuel mix before fueling the unit
• Drain the tank and run the engine dry before storing the unit
USING FUEL ADDITIVES
The bottle of 2-cycle oil contains a fuel additive which will help inhibit
corrosion and minimize the formation of gum deposits. It is recommended
to use our 2-cycle oil with this unit.
If unavailable, use a good 2-cycle oil designed for air-cooled engines along
with a fuel additive, such as STA-BIL® Gas Stabilizer or an equivalent. Add
0.8 oz. (23 ml.) of fuel additive per gallon of fuel according to the
instructions on the container. NEVER add fuel additives directly to the unit's
fuel tank.
Thoroughly mix the proper ratio of 2-cycle engine oil with unleaded fuel in a
separate fuel can. Use a 40:1 fuel/oil ratio. Do not mix them directly in the
engine fuel tank. See the table for specific gas and oil mixing ratios.
NOTE: One gallon (3.8 liters) of unleaded fuel mixed with one 3.2 oz. (95
ml.) bottle of 2-cycle oil makes a 40:1 fuel/oil ratio.
NOTE: Dispose of the old fuel/oil mix in accordance to Federal, State and
Local regulations.
_ ARNING:
Gasoline is extremely flammable. Ignited vapors
may explode. Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before
filling the fuel tank. Do not smoke while filling the tank. Keep
sparks and open flames at a distance from the area.
FUELING THE UNIT
--
U
_L_ WARNING:
Remove fuel cap slowly to avoid injury from fuel
spray. Never operate the unit without the fuel cap securely in place.
1. Remove the fuel cap.
_ ARNING: Add fuel in a clean, level and well ventilated
outdoor area. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately. Avoid creating
a source of ignition for spilled fuel. Do not start the engine until
fuel vapors dissipate.
2. Place the gas container's spout into the fill hole on the fuel tank and fill
the tank.
NOTE: Do not overfill the tank.
3. Wipe up any gasoline that may have spilled.
4. Reinstall the fuel cap.
5. Move the unit at least 30 ft. (9.1 m) from the fueling source and site
before starting the engine.
