FUEL
Fuel Requirements
Gasoline -
Use 89 Octane [ ] 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 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 fill 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 lease 3M (10 ft.) from refueling location before starting the
engine.
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, unoccu-
pied building, away from sparks and flames. Do not store fuel longer
than 30 days.
