OIL AND FUEL INFORMATION
OIL AND FUEL MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Thoroughly mix the proper ratio of 2-
cycle engine oil with unleaded gasoline in
a separate fuel can. Use a 40:1 fuel/oil
ratio. Do not mix them directly in the
engine fuel tank. See the table below for
specific gas and oil mixing ratios.
Old and/or improperly mixed fuel are the
main reasons for the unit not running
properly. Be sure to use fresh, clean
unleaded fuel. Follow the instructions
carefully for the proper fuel/oil mixture.

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

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.
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.
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 outdoor
area. Wipe up any spilled fuel
immediately. Avoid creating a
source of ignition for spilt fuel.
Do not start the engine until
fuel vapors dissipate.
CAUTION:
For proper
engine operation and
maximum reliability, pay strict
attention to the oil and fuel
mixing instructions on the
2-cycle
