Using Fuel Additives
The container of 2-cycle oil provided with this
unit includes a fuel additive to help inhibit
corrosion and minimize gum deposits. Always
use the brand of 2-cycle oil that came with this
unit. If this is unavailable, use a 2-cycle oil
designed for air-cooled engines and mix it with
a fuel additive. Add 0.8 oz. (23 ml) of fuel
additive per gallon of fuel, according to the
instructions on the container. NEVER add fuel
additives directly to the unit's fuel tank.
Mixing the Fuel
NOTE: This unit comes with a 2.6 oz. (77 ml)
container of 2-cycle oil. To obtain the
correct fuel mixture described below,
pour the entire container into one
gallon of unleaded gasoline.
Using Blended Fuels
If using a blended fuel:
• Always use the fresh fuel mix explained in
this operator's manual
• Use a fuel additive
• Always agitate the fuel mix before fueling
the unit
CAUTION:
DO NOT USE E85
FUEL IN THIS UNIT.
It has been proven that fuel
containing greater than 10% ethanol
will likely damage this engine and
void the warranty.
CAUTION:
For proper engine
operation and maximum reliability,
pay strict attention to the gasoline and
oil mixing instructions on the 2-cycle
oil container. Using improperly mixed
fuel can severely damage the engine.

Fueling the Unit
WARNING:
Gasoline is extremely
flammable. Ignited vapors may
explode. Always stop the engine and
allow it to cool before filling the fuel
tank. Do not smoke while filling the
tank. Keep sparks and open flames at
a distance from the area.
WARNING:
Remove the fuel cap
slowly to avoid injury from fuel spray.
Never operate the unit without the
fuel cap securely in place.
WARNING:
Add fuel in a clean,
well-ventilated outdoor area. Wipe
up any spilled fuel immediately.
Avoid creating a source of ignition
for spilled fuel. Do not start the
engine until fuel vapors dissipate.
1. Position the unit with the fuel cap facing up.
2. Slowly remove the fuel cap.
3. Place the fuel container spout into the fuel
tank fill hole and fill the tank.
NOTE: Do not overfill the tank.
4. Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled.
5. Reinstall the fuel cap.
6. Move the unit at least 30 ft. (9.1 m) from the
fuel container and the fueling site before
starting the engine.
Thoroughly mix the proper ratio of unleaded
gasoline with 2-cycle engine oil. Do not mix
them directly in the unit’s fuel tank. Use a
separate fuel can. Use a 50:1 gasoline/oil ratio.
See the table below for specific gasoline and oil
mixing ratios.
