OIL AND FUEL
OIL AND FUEL MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Gasoline is extremely flammable. Ignited vapors may explode. Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before fi lling the fuel tank. Do not smoke while filling the tank. Keep sparks and open flames at a distance from the area.
WARNING: Add fuel in a clean, level and 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.
WARNING: Remove fuel cap slowly to avoid injury from fuel spray. Never operate the unit without the fuel cap securely in place.
Be sure to use fresh, clean unleaded fuel and follow instructions carefully for proper fuel/oil mixture.
Definition of Blended Fuels
WARNING: Fuel containing greater than 10% ethanol will likely damage the engine and void the warranty.
Today’s fuels are often a blend of gasoline and oxygenates such as ethanol, methanol, or MTBE (ether) which absorb water. Use fuel within 30 days of purchase. Blended fuels older than 30 days will affect the performance and life of the engine.
Using Blended Fuels
If the use of blended fuel is unavoidable, follow recommended precautions:
•Always use the fresh fuel mix explained in the operator’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
It is recommended to use the manufacturers 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.
Mixing The Fuel
Thoroughly mix the proper ratio of 2-cycle engine oil with unleaded fuel in a separate fuel can. Use a 40:1 fuel/oil ratio. Do not mix them directly in the engine fuel tank.
IF... |
the unit came with a bottle of 2-cycle oil; pour the entire bottle into 1 gallon of gas and mix |
|
thoroughly. |
NOTE: |
One gallon (3.8 liters) of unleaded fuel mixed with one 3.2 oz. (95 ml.) bottle of 2-cycle oil |
|
makes a 40:1 fuel/oil ratio. |
NOTE: |
Dispose of the old fuel/oil mix in accordance to Federal, State and Local regulations. |
