Mixing Gasoline And Oil
For simplicity and best engine performance, mix
8 ounces (250 ml) of Lawn-Boy Generation II
2-Cycle Ashless Oil with two gallons (8 liters) of
fresh, unleaded regular gasoline. Pour one gallon (4
liters) of gasoline into an approved gasoline container
and add the correct amount of 2-cycle oil. Install cap
on gasoline container and shake to mix oil and
gasoline thoroughly (Fig. 12). Slowly remove cap and
add remaining gasoline.

Note:
Do not mix gasoline and oil in the
product fuel tank. Oil that is at room
temperature mixes easily and more
thoroughly than cold oil.
Use clean, fresh lead-free gasoline with an octane
rating of 85 or higher. Purchase only the quantity of
gasoline that can be used in 30 days to assure
freshness. Use of lead-free gasoline results in fewer
combustion chamber deposits and longer spark plug
life. Leaded gasoline may be used if lead-free is not
available.
Note:
NEVER USE METHANOL,
GASOLINE CONTAINING
METHANOL, GASOHOL
CONTAINING MORE THAN 10%
ETHANOL, PREMIUM
GASOLINE OR WHITE GAS
BECAUSE ENGINE FUEL
SYSTEM COULD BE DAMAGED.

Clean around fuel cap before removing (Fig. 13).
Fill fuel tank with gasoline/oil mix to within 1/4
inch (6.5 mm) of top of tank, not into filler neck.
DO NOT OVER-FILL TANK. Replace fuel cap
securely and wipe up any spilled fuel.
