OIL AND FUEL MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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 30 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 operator's manual

• Use the fuel additive STA-BIL® or an equivalent

• 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 50:1 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 2.6 oz. (77 ml) bottle of 2-cycle oil

makes a 50:1 fuel/oil ratio.

NOTE: Dispose of the old fuel/oil mix in accordance with federal, state and local regulations.

CAUTION:

For proper engine operation and maximum reliability, pay strict attention to

the oil and fuel mixing instructions on the 2-cycle oil container. Using improperly mixed fuel

can severely damage the engine.

OIL AND FUEL INFORMATION

*WARNING: DO NOT USE E85 FUEL IN THIS UNIT.

It has been proven that fuel containing greater than 10% ethanol will likely

damage this engine and void the warranty.

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.
