PREPARATION FOR OPERATION
TO PREPARE THE FUEL MIXTURE, USE ONLY OIL FOR TWO-STROKE ENGINES AND
UNLEADED GASOLINE FREE OF ETHANOL OR METHANOL (ALCOHOLS). YOU WILL
THUS AVOID POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE FUEL LINES AND OTHER ENGINE
COMPONENTS.
NEVER MIX GASOLINE AND OIL DIRECTLY IN THE FUEL TANK.
IMPORTANT: Failure to follow the instructions for proper fuel mixture preparation can result in
damage to the engine.
1. Prepare only an amount of fuel mixture you are able to use during the planned work. Do not
use fuel which has been stored longer than two months. A fuel mixture stored longer than
this can cause poor starting and performance of the engine. Fuel which has been stored
longer than two months must be replaced with a fresh fuel mixture.
