FUEL

Fuel Requirements --

Gasoline - Use 89 Octane [ ] gasoline known to be good quality.
Gasoline may contain up to 10% Ethanol (grain alcohol) or 15% MTBE
(methyl tertiary-butyl ether). Gasoline containing methanol (wood
alcohol) is NOT approved.

Two-Stroke Oil

-

A two-stroke engine oil meeting ISO-L-EGD Standard

(ISO/CD 13738), must be used. Echo brand Premium 50:1 oil meets this
standard. Engine problems due to inadequate lubrication caused by
failure to use an ISO-L-EGD approved oil, such as Echo Premium 50:1
Two-stroke Oil, will void the two-stroke engine warranty. (Emission
related parts only are covered for two years, regardless of two-stroke
oil used, per the statement listed in the EPA Phase I/California Emission
Defect Warranty Explanation.)

Mixing - Follow directions on the oil container.

Handling Fuel --

WARNING DANGER

Fuel is VERY flammable. Use extreme care when mixing, storing or
handling or serious personal injury may result.
• Use an approved fuel container.
• DO NOT smoke near fuel.
• DO NOT allow flames or sparks near fuel.
• Fuel tanks/cans may be under pressure. Always loosen fuel

caps slowly allowing pressure to equalize.

• NEVER refuel a unit when the engine is HOT!
• NEVER refuel a unit with the engine running.
• DO NOT fuel tanks indoors. ALWAYS fill fuel tanks outdoors

over bare ground.

• Securely tighten fuel cap after refueling.
• Inspect for fuel leakage. If fuel leakage is found, do not start or

operate unit until leakage is repaired.

After Refueling —

Wipe any spilled fuel from the unit.

Move at least 3M. (10 ft.) from refueling location before starting.

After use —

DO NOT store a unit with fuel in its tank. Leaks can occur. Return
unused fuel to an approved fuel storage container.

Storage —
Fuel storage laws vary by locality. Contact your local government for
the laws affecting your area. As a precaution, store fuel in an approved,
air tight container. Store in a well ventilated, unoccupied building, away
from sparks and flames. Do not store fuel longer than 30 days.
