FUEL AND LUBRICATION

• FUEL

Use regular grade unleaded petrol mixed with 40:1 custom 2-cycle engine oil for best results. Use mixing ratios in Section FUEL MIXING TABLE.

WARNING: Never use straight petrol in your

unit. This will cause permanent engine damage and void the manufacturer’s warranty for that product. Never use a fuel mixture that has been stored for over 90 days.

WARNING: If 2-cycle lubricant other than

Custom Lubricant is to be used, it must be a premium grade oil for 2-cycle air cooled engines mixed at a 40:1 ratio. Do not use any 2-cycle oil product with a recommended mixing ratio of 100:1. If insufficient lubrication is the cause of engine damage, it voids the manufacturer’s engine warranty.

• MIXING FUEL

Add oil to an approved fuel container followed by the petrol to allow incoming petrol to mix with oil. Shake container to ensure thorough mix.

WARNING: Lack of lubrication voids engine

warranty. Petrol and oil must be mixed at 40:1.
