OiL AND FUEL MiXiNG
iNSTRUCTiONS
Old and/or improperly mixed 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 gasoline and oxy-
genates 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 acids 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 unavoid-
able, follow recommended
precautions:
® Always use the fresh fuel mix explained in your opera-
tor'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 that came with your unit contains
a fuel additive which will help inhibit corrosion and mini-
mize the formation of gum deposits. It is recommended
that you 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.
CAUTION:
For proper engine
operation
and maxi-
mum 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.
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 table below for specific gas and oil mixing
ratios.

flamma-
ble. ignited Vapors may explode. Always
stop the engine and allow it to cool before
filling the fuel tank. Do not smoke while fill-
ing the tank. Keep sparks and open flames
at a distance
from the area.
WARNING:

thefuel cap securely inplace.
WARNING:
Add fuel in a clean,
well ventilated
out-
door area. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately. Avoid creating a source of ignition for
spilled fuel. Do not start the engine until fuel
vapors dissipate.
2-cycle oil makes a 40:1 fuel/oil ratio.
NOTE: Dispose of the old fueFoil mix in accordance
to
Federal, State and Local regulations.
