HELPFUL TIP
Toobtain the correct oil mix ratio, pour 3.2 ounces of 2--cycle synthetic oil into one gallon of fresh gas.
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. Mix gas­oline and oil at a ratio of 40:1. A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 3.2 fluid ounces (95 ml) of oil 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 con­tainer. Once oil is added to gasoline, shake container momentarily to assure that the fuel is thoroughly mixed. Always read and follow the safety rules relating to fuel before fueling your unit.
CAUTION: Never use straight gasoline in
your unit. This will cause permanent engine damage and void the limited warranty.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
This engine requires the use of minimum 87 octane [R+M]/2 clean gasoline.
IMPORTANT
Use of alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can cause major en­gine performance and durability problems.
WARNING: Alternative fuels (not
gasoline) such as E- -15 (15% alcohol), E- -20 (20% alcohol), E- -85 (85% alcohol) are NOT classified as gasoline and are NOT approved for use in 2- -stroke gasoline engines. Use of alternative fuels will cause problems such as: improper clutch engagements, overheating, vapor lock, power loss, lubrication deficiency, deterioration of fuel lines, gaskets and internal carburetor components, etc. Alternative fuels cause high moisture absorption into the fuel/oil mixture leading to oil and fuel separation.
TO STOP THE ENGINE
D T o stop the engine, move the throttle lever
to the STOP gine stops running.
