If POULAN PRO 40; 1,2—cycle engine oil is not available,
use a good quality 2-cycle engine oil,
formulated for
AIR-COOLED
engines,
that has a recommended fuel
mixture of 40:1.
IMPORTANT! Do not use:
• AUTOMOTIVE OIL
• BOAT OILS (NMMA, BIA-etc.)

COOLED engines and can cause engine damage.
GASOLINE
The two-cycle engine on this product requires a fuel mix
ture of regular unleaded gasoline and a high quality en
gine oil for lubrication of the bearings and other moving
parts. Too little oil or the incorrect oil type will cause poor
performance and may cause the engine to overheat and
seize.
Gasoline and oil must be premixed in a clean container ap
proved for gasoline. Always use fresh regular unleaded
gasoline.
