If 2-cycle lubricant other than Genuine McCulloch
Lubricant is to be used, it must be a premium grade oil
for 2-cycle air cooled engines mixed at a 40:1 ratio. Do not
use any 2-cycle oil product with a recommended mixing
ratio of 100:1. If insufficient lubrication is the cause of
engine damage, it voids the manufacturer’s engine warran-
ty for that occurrence.
Be certain the CHAIN BRAKE

Some conventional gasolines are being blended with oxy-
genates such as alcohol or an ether compound to meet
clean air standards. Your McCulloch engine is designed to
operate on any gasoline intended for automotive use
including oxygenated gasolines.

MIXING FUEL
Mix fuel with Genuine McCulloch brand 2 cycle oil in an
approved container. Use mixing table for correct ratio of fuel

AND BAR LUBRICATION
5-1A
Always refill the chain oil tank each time the fuel tank is
refilled. We recommend using Genuine McCulloch Chain,
Bar and Sprocket Oil, which contains additives to reduce
friction and wear and to assist in the prevention of pitch for-
mation on the bar and chain.
