MAINTENANCE
On 4-cyle engines with an oll level plug,
don't be fooled Into thinking the engine has
sufficient lubricating oll If you can see "some"
oll In the opening - the level should always be
brought up to the point of €
top of the fill hole.
@
On 2-cycle engines, lubrication must be
provided by an exact mixture of gasoline
and 2-cycle sir-cooled engine oil A 2-cycle
engine that Is mistakenly
run on strelght
gasoline will be reined in less than 5
mlnutasl
If you keep straight gasoline In
addition to pre-mlxed 2-cycle engine fuel,
be sure the containers are clearly marked
to avoid mix-up.
Snapper 2-cycle englnas require a 32 to 1
mixture of gasoitne and BIA cerUfled TC-W
oU such as Snapper's 2-cyele engine oil
Many of the 2-cycla engine oils on the
market today make fantastic claims, but for
the best performance
and long engine life,
always use Snapper 2-cycle all
Premix
the fuel and always shake the container
before filling the tank.
