no sparks or flames.
3. Always shut off the engine before refueling.
Never remove the fuel tank cap while the engine
is running or right after just stopping the engine.
4. Always open the fuel tank cap slowly to release
any possible overpressure inside the tank.
5. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Stop filling 1/4-1/2
in. (6 mm-13 mm) from the top of the tank.
6. Tighten the tank fuel cap carefully but firmly after
refilling.
7. Wipe up any spilled fuel before starting the
engine.
8. Move the unit at least 10 ft. (3 m) away from the
fueling location and fuel storage container before
starting the engine.
Recommended Oil Type
Only use a two-stroke engine oil formulated for use in
high-performance, air-cooled two-stroke engines.
MARUYAMA brand two-stroke oil is formulated for
use in high-performance, air-cooled two-stroke engines.
IMPORTANT: Do not use National Marine
Manufacturer’s Association (NMMA) or BIA
certified oils. This type of two-stroke engine oil
does not have the proper additives for air-
cooled, two-stroke engines and can cause
engine damage.
Do not use automotive motor oil. This type of
oil does not have the proper additives for air-
cooled, two-stroke engines and can cause
engine damage.
Recommended Fuel Type
Use clean, fresh lead-free gasoline, including
oxygenat-
ed or reformulated
gasoline, with an octane rating of 89
10 ft. (3 m) minimum
POTENTIAL HAZARD
• In certain conditions gasoline is
extremely flammable and highly
explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• A fire or explosion from gasoline can
burn you, others, and cause property
damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
• Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank out-
doors, in an open area, when the engine

Add gasoline to the fuel tank until the
level is 1/4 to 1/2 in. (6 mm to 13 mm)
below the bottom of the filler neck. This
empty space in the tank allows gasoline
to expand.

and stay away from an open flame or
where gasoline fumes may be ignited
by a spark.
• Store gasoline in an approved contain-
er and keep it out of the reach of chil-
dren.
