GASOLINE
The two—cycle engine on this product requires a fuel
mixture of regular unleaded gasoline and a high quali­
ty engine oil for lubrication of the bearings and other
moving parts. The correct fuel/oil mixture is 40:1 (see
Fuel Mixture Chart). Too little oil or the incorrect oil
type will cause poor performance and may cause the
engine to overheat and seize.

fuel container. Always use fresh regular unleaded gas­
oline.
WARNING: Experience indicates that alcohol
blended fuels called gasohol (or using ethanol or meth­
anol) can attract moisture, which leads to oil/gas sepa­
ration and fommtion of adds during storage. Addic
gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in
storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system
should be emptied before storage for 30 days or lor^r.
Drainthegastmik, then run the fuel out of the carbure­
tor and fuel lin^ by starting the engine and letting it
run until it stops. Use fresh fiiel next season. Never use

ATE-COOLED engines and can cause engine dam­
age.
