Engine oil – gasoline mixing
procedure
For quantities of engine oil and gasoline to
be pre-mixed, refer to table in Recom-
mended engine oil (p. 18).
CAUTION
Do not use other than two stroke engine
oil with specified grade, or the engine
may be damaged.
Do not use fuel prepared in other than
specified mixing ratio.
- Lack of engine oil can cause severe
engine trouble such as piston seizure.
- Excess of engine oil can shorten spark
plug life, and/or cause increase of nox-
ious exhaust.
When portable fuel tank is used for
operation of outboard motor(s):
1
Pour engine oil into fuel tank, and then,
gasoline.
2
Put cap on the tank, and close tightly.
3
Close air vent plug tightly.
WARNING
Loose cap or air vent plug can cause leak
of fuel during shaking the tank.
4
Shake the tank to mix engine oil and
gasoline well and even.
When fuel tank built in the boat is
used for operation of outboard
motor(s):
1
Prepare separate fuel container for pre-
mixing.
PRE-OPERATING PREPARATIONS
2
Pour engine oil into fuel container, and
then, gasoline.
3
Put cap on the container, and close
tightly.
4
Shake the container to mix engine oil
and gasoline well and even.
5
Pour the mixture into fuel tank.
Notes
It is recommended to pre-mix by using
separate fuel container. Attempting to
pre-mix in the fuel tank built-in the boat
can make the mixture uneven.
If built-in fuel tank is used for mixing,
pour engine oil into the tank little by little
while putting gasoline into the tank.
