MIXING THE FUEL
This product is powered by a 2-cycle engine and requires
pre-mixing gasoline and 2-cycle oil. The mixture should be
at a 50:1 ratio, using Premium Exact Mix™ 2-cycle engine
oil. If Premium Exact Mix™ 2-cycle engine oil is not
available, use a high quality 2-cycle engine oil, mixed at a
50:1 ratio. See chart later in this section.
To mix the fuel:
1. Use a clean container that is approved for use with
gasoline.
2. Mix the Premium Exact Mix™ 2-cycle engine oil with
unleaded gasoline in the container, according to the
instructions on the oil package.
IMPORTANT:
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline
intended for automotive use with an octane rating of 87
([R + M] / 2) or higher. Do not use automotive oil or 2-cycle
outboard oil.
