Oil And Fuel Mixing Instructions; Using Blended Fuels; Using Fuel Additives; To Obtain Correct Fuel Mix - Craftsman Incredi-Pull 316.791880 Operator's Manual

OraLAND FUEL MmXH_G H_STRUCTmONS
Old and/or improperly raked fuel are the main reasons
for the unit not running properly. Be sure to use fresh
(less than 60 days old), clean unleaded fuel. Follow the
instructions carefully for the proper fuel/oil mixture.
Definition of Blended Fuels
Today's fuels are often a blend of gaso%e and
oxygenates such as ethanol, methanol, or MTBE (ether).
Alcohol-blended fuel absorbs water. As little as 1%
water in the fuel can make fuel and oil separate and
leads to formation of adds during storage. When using
alcohol-blended fuel, use fresh fuel.
Using Blended Fuels
if you choose to use a blended fuel or its use is
unavoidable, follow recommended precautions:
• AHways use the fresh rue[ mix explained in your
operator's manual
• Always shake 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 that came with your unit
contains a fuel additive which will help inhibit corrosion
and minimize the formation of gum deposits, it is
recommended that you always use Craftsman 2-cycle oil
with this unit.
if Craftsman 2-cycle oil is unavailable, use a good 2-
cycle oil designed for air-cooled engines along with a
fuel additive, such as STA-B[L" 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 tanL
To Obtain Correct Fuel Mix:
Thoroughly mix the proper ratio of 2-cycle engine oil
with unleaded gasoline in a separate fuel can. Use a 40:1
fuel/oil ratio. Do not mix them directly in the engine fuel
tank. See the Fuel Mixture Table for specific gas and oil
mixing ratios.
NOTE: One gallon (3.8 liters) of unleaded gasoline mixed
with one 3.2 oz. (95 ml.) bottle of
2-cycle oil makes a 40:1 fuel/oil ratio.

WARNING: Gasoline is
extremely
flammable. Ignited vapors may explode.
Always stop the engine and allow it to cool
the fuel tank. Do not smoke
while filling the tank. Keep sparks and open
flames at a distance from the area.
, For proper engine
• operation and
maximum re[lability, pay strict attention to
the oil and fuel mixing instructions on the
2-cycle oil container. Using improperly mixed
rue[ can severeJy damage the engine.
WARNING:
Remove fue, cap
slowly to avoid injury
from fuel spray. Never operate the unit
without the fuel cap securely in place.
WARNING:
Add fue, in a c,ean,
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,
NOTE: Dispose of the old fuel/oil mix in accordance to
Federal, State and Local regulations.
