RedMax CV225 - Manual (Page 11)

11
Your REDMAX Tiller/Cultivator is powered by a
commercial two stroke, air cooled engine which
requires a fuel mixture of gasoline and lubricating oil.
Use a mixture of 50 parts unleaded regular gasoline
and 1 part two-stroke oil (50:1.) Make sure to use
gasoline with a minimum octane number of 90 ROZ
(USA/Canada: pump octant Min. 87)
The REDMAX engines are lubricated by oil specially
formulated for air-cooled 2-cycle gasoline engine use.
If REDMAX oil is not available, use an anti-oxidant
added quality oil expressly labeled for air-cooled 2
cycle-engine use. (JASO FC GRADE OIL or ISO
EGC GRADE)
Recommended mixing ratio
Gasoline 50: Oil 1
Exhaust emission are controlled by the fundamental
engine parameters and components (eq., carburators,
ignition timing and port timing) without addition of
any major hardware or the introduction of an inert
material during combustion.
How to mix fuel:
1. Pour 1/2 of the gasoline into a safe container. Do
not mix the fuel and oil in the engine fuel tank.
2. Add 2.6 ounces (.077 liters) of two-cycle engine
oil to the gasoline and mix. Then add the rest of
the gasoline.
3. Screw the cap onto the gasoline can. Then swirl
the can to blend the oil and gas.
Fueling the unit:
1. Carefully pour the fuel mix into the `
Tiller/Cultivator’s fuel tank.
2. Put fuel into the fuel tank to 80% of the
full capacity.
3. Fasten the fuel cap securely and wipe up any fuel
spillage around the unit.
IMPORTANT: Two stroke fuel separates and ages.
Do not mix more than you will use in a month. Using
old fuel can cause difficult starting or engine damage.
Shake fuel container to thoroughly mix fuel before
each use. Do not attempt to run your engine on
gasoline only, use proper fuel mixture.

authorized REDMAX dealer.
Remember …
• Always mix two-cycle oil with gasoline before
fueling your Tiller/Cultivator. Never, ever run your
Tiller/Cultivator on gasoline alone. This will ruin
your engine and void all warranties.
• Always use a clean gas can and always use
unleaded gas.
• Never try to mix the oil and gasoline in the engine
fuel tank.
• Always mix oil and gas in the proper proportions:
2.6 ounces (.077 liters) of two-cycle engine oil to
one gallon (3.785 liters) of unleaded gasoline.
• Gasohol - It can cause deterioration of rubber
and/or plastic parts and disruption of
engine lubrication.
• Oil for 4-cycle engine use or water coded 2-cycle
engine use - it can cause spark plug fouling,
exhaust port blocking, or piston ring sticking.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Do Not use old or stale oil/gasoline mixture.
Always use the proper oil/gasoline mixture. If you
do not, your engine will suffer rapid, permanent
damage. And you will void the engine warranty.
