Mixing Fuel / 2-Cycle Oil
WARNING
Do not smoke or allow smoking near fuel or the Blower. Mix and pour fuel outdoors WHERE THERE ARE NO
SPARKS OR FLAMES.
The 2-cycle engine on your Blower requires that fuel
and 2-cycle engine oil be pre-mixed before adding to
the Blower’s fuel tank. To mix the fuel/ 2-cycle oil:
1. Use fresh unleaded gasoline containing no more
than 10% ethanol with an octane rating of 89 or higher.
2. Always use 2-cycle oil that meets or exceeds JASO
– FC specifications and is intended for mixing at a
fuel/oil ratio of 40:1.
3. Do not use automotive or 2-cycle marine outboard oil.
These will damage your Blower’s engine and void
the warranty.
4. Always mix the gasoline and 2-cycle oil in a
container approved for gasoline. Never mix fuel
directly in the Blower’s fuel tank.
5. Follow instructions on 2-cycle oil container for
mixing fuel. Mix gasoline and 2-cycle oil at a ratio
of 40:1. A mixture with a 40:1 ratio is obtained by
mixing 1 gallon (4 liters) of gasoline with 3.2 ounces
of oil (95 ml). After adding oil to gasoline, shake
container momentarily to ensure proper mixing.
6. Mix only enough fuel for your immediate needs.
Do not store pre-mixed fuel.
7. Stop engine and allow to cool before refueling.
8. To fill the Blower’s fuel tank with the gasoline/ oil
mixture, place the Blower upright on the ground
or on a sturdy bench and wipe and any debris
from around the fuel cap.
9. Remove fuel cap slowly and use a funnel to pour the
mixture into the tank, and replace the fuel cap.
10. Avoid spilling fuel or oil. Wipe up all fuel spills.
11. Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from fueling
site before starting engine.
