NOTE: Dispose of the old fuel/oil mix in accordance to
Federal, State and Local regulations.
CAUTION: For proper engine operation and max-
imum reliability, pay strict attention to the oil and
fuel mixing instructions on the 2-cycle oil con-
tainer. Using improperly mixed fuel can severely
damage the engine.
WARNING: Gasoline is extremely flammable.
Ignited Vapors may explode. Always stop the
engine and allow it to cool before filling the fuel
tank. Do not smoke while filling the tank. Keep
sparks and open flames at a distance from the area.
WARNING: Remove fuel cap slowly to avoid injury
from fuel spray. Never operate the unit without the
fuel cap securely in place.
WARNING: Add fuel in a clean, well ventilated
area outdoors. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately. Avoid creating a source of ignition for spilt
fuel. Do not start the engine until fuel vapors
dissipate.
OIL AND FUEL MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Old and/or improperly mixed fuel are the main reasons for
improper unit performance. Be sure to use fresh, 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 oxygenates
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. It forms acids when stored. When using
alcohol-blended fuel, use fresh fuel (less than 60 days old).
Using Blended Fuels
If you choose to use a blended fuel, or its use is unavoidable,
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 minimize
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.
Thoroughly mix the proper ratio of 2-cycle engine oil with
unleaded gasoline in a separate fuel can. Use a 32:1 fuel/oil
ratio. Do not mix them directly in the engine fuel tank. See
the table below for specific gas and oil mixing ratios.
NOTE: One gallon (3.8 liters) of unleaded gasoline
mixed with one 4 oz. (120 ml.) bottle of
2-cycle oil makes a 32:1 fuel/oil ratio.
