a Tcn]r'anitispoweredl^a2-(^leengine
whichrequhes a fitel mixture of regolar
unleaded gasoline and ahigh quality en*
gjne oU specially made for 2-Qrcle, air
cooled engines. Ihe internal detign of the
2—lycle en^ne requnes hibtication of moving
parts. Lutuication is provided when recom­
mended mixture of gasoline and oil is used.
* Gasoline must be
short period of time, gasolme will chemically
break down and form compounds that cause
hard starting and damage in 2>-
« 'The correct measure of gasoline to oil k
very important. Too much oil in the mixture
wiH foul the ^arkplug.

3. USE TBE FOLLOWING ONISi
WEíüD EATEE 40:1,2-cyde engine oil is strong-
ty recommended. PAEAMOTJhn? POULAN, or
POULAN PRO brand 2-cycle engine oil is
acceptable if mixed according to the instmetions
on the container. .
1 PART OIL TO 40 PARTS GASOLINE«
3.2 fl. oz. oil to 1 gallon gasoline
8.0 Q. ÚZ. oil to
2S gallon ^soUne
Not all air cooled 2—eyde oils have the
sarnequaHties. If WEED EATER, PARAMOUNT,
POULAN, or POULAN PRO brand 2~

2—cycIe engine oil recommended for air—coolM
engines. Mix at a ratio of 40:1 (3.2 oz. oil to 1 gal­
lon gasaBne). A 40:1 fad mktnre with these oQs
will assure adequate lubrication foryour engine.

unit or property or causing serious idury to by­
standers or operator.
I. Before Starting the Engine:
a. Fuel toe enmne. Move at least 10 feet away
