Adding the Gasoline/Oil Mixture

To operate the Engine you must use 2-cycle Engine oil with unleaded regular gasoline mixed with a 50:1 ratio. Never use
straight gasoline, as this will result in damage to the Engine.

Never mix the gasoline and oil directly in the Engine Fuel Tank. Always use only nonmetal, portable fuel containers
approved by UL or ASTM.
1. Fill the fuel container 1/4 full with unleaded regular gasoline outside in a well ventilated area.
2. Add the recommended amount of 2-cycle oil for the fuel you are mixing.
3. Screw the container cap on tight and shake the container to mix the fuel and oil.
4. Unscrew the container cap slowly to vent and add the remainder of the fuel you are mixing.
5. Wipe up any spilled fuel or oil.
Filling the Engine Fuel Tank
Always fill the Fuel Tank outdoors or in a well-ventilated area, away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other
ignition sources.
1. Clean any debris from the area around the Fuel Tank Cap and loosen it slowly, placing it on a clean dry surface.
2. Carefully fill the Fuel Tank to avoid spilling, to approximately 1" to 1-1/2" below the bottom of the Fill Neck to allow for fuel
expansion. Be careful not to overfill and reinstall the Fuel Tank Cap.
3. Wipe off any spilled fuel before attempting to start the Engine.
NOTE: To refill the Fuel Tank, turn the Engine OFF, and let the Engine cool at least two (2) minutes before removing the Fuel
Tank Cap.
