LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
FUEL AND LUBRICANT SPECIFICATIONS:
Gasoline: Use clean, fresh, “regular grade unleaded” or “low lead” type. When “regular” or “low-lead” is
unavailable, an “unleaded” type fuel may be used; however, it should be limited to emergency use only. Oil
must be mixed with the gasoline. Refer to fuel mixture below.
Oil: Use a good quality Outboard motor oil or equivalent. The oil should meet or exceed the following typical
specifications: TC-W3TM, NMMA, [API] TC, JASO FC, or ISO-L-EGO. Gasoline must be mixed with the oil,
refer to the fuel mixture below.
FUEL MIXTURE:
The engine used in the FYR-PAK requires that oil be mixed with the gasoline. For ease of starting, it is
desirable to have a fresh mixture of fuel; therefore, mix only an amount of fuel you anticipate using in the near
future. As a guide, the engine consumes approximately one gallon (3.8 L) per hour at full throttle (depending on
load), less at partial throttle.
To mix fuel, add oil to a small amount of gasoline in a clean container, then add the rest of the gasoline and
shake well.
NOTE: Do not mix oil and gasoline in the FYR-PAK fuel tank, it will be difficult to get good mixing.
Also if the fuel container has been still for an extended period, shake container before filling fuel tank.
The correct ratio of oil to gasoline is one (1) part oil to 24 parts gasoline (1:24). Table 1 shows various quantities
of fuel mixture and the amount of oil and gasoline required.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
1. DO NOT RUN THE ENGINE IN AN ENCLOSED AREA Be sure the area is well ventilated.
2. Stay away from moving parts. Avoid wearing loose clothing that could pose a catch risk.
3. Keep the equipment and surrounding area clean. Cluttered areas invite accidents.
4. Keep power shields and guards in place. Do not make adjustments and repairs while the engine is running,
