Be sure to read the fuel

FUELING ENGINE

WARNING:

when refueling.
This engine is certified to operate on un­leaded gasoline. Before operation, gasoline
must be mixed with a good quality synthetic
2-cycle air-cooled engine oil designed to be
mixed at a ratio of 40:1. Poulan/Weed Eater
brand synthetic oil is recommended. A 40:1
ratio is obtainedbymixing 3.2 ounces(95ml)
ofoil with 1 gallon (4 liters) of unleaded gaso­line. DO NOT USE automotive oil or boat oil.
These oils will cause engine damage. When
mixing fuel, follow instructions printed on oil
container. Once oil is added to gasoline,
shake container momentarily to assure that
thefuel is thoroughly mixed. Always readand
follow the safety rules listed under HANDLE
FUELWITH CAUTION.

Remove fuel cap slowly

IMPORTANT

Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels
(called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol)
can attract moisture which leads to separation
and formation o f acids during storage. Acidic
gas can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage. To avoid engin e problem s,
empty the fuel system before storage for 30
days or longer.Drain the gas tank, start theen­gine andlet it run until the fuellines andcarbure­tor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season. Nev­er use engine or carburetor cleaner products in
the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
