FUEL

Fuel Requirements

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

Two Stroke Oil - A two-stroke engine oil meeting ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD
13738) and J.A.S.O. FC Standards, 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 and J.A.S.O. FC
certified 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 California Emission Defect Warranty Explanation.)

Mixing - Follow directions on the oil container.
