IV. Before Starting Your Engine
A. Mixing Fuel and Oil
NEVER store engine with fuel in the
fuel tank inside a building with
potential sources of ignition such as hot water or space
heaters, clothes dryers, electric motors, etc. Doing so may
lead to an explosion resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTES
DO NOT mix fuel and oil directly in fuel tank.
Use of NMMA, TC-WII or TC-W3, JASO FB or JASO FC
classified oil is recommended.
Contact your Authorized TecumsehPower Servicing Dealer
for TecumsehPower Oil.
1.
Be sure container is outdoors and in a well-ventilated
area.
2.
Fill approved clean red GASOLINE container with 1/4
of recommended fuel amount. See Tables 1, 2 and 3
on page 3. Afterward, continue reading instructions
below.
3.
Add required amount of recommended oil to fuel. See
Table 1 for ice augers, Table 2 for all other applications
on page 3. Afterward, continue reading instructions

B. Filling Fuel Tank
An adult should fuel this engine.
NEVER allow children to refuel this
engine. Gasoline (fuel) vapors are highly flammable and
can explode. Fuel vapors can spread and be ignited by a
spark or flame many feet away from engine. To prevent
injury or death from fuel fires, follow these instructions:
1.
Stop engine and allow it to cool before refueling.
2.
Be sure engine is outdoors and in a well-ventilated
area.
3.
Clean area around fuel fill cap and remove fuel fill cap.
See Figure 5.
NOTES
For recommended mixture ratios of fuel and oil, see Tables 1,
2 and 3 on page 3. See “A. Mixing Fuel and Oil” instructions
above. Afterward, continue reading instructions below.
4.
Using an approved red GASOLINE container, add fuel
mixture slowly, being careful to avoid spilling. DO NOT
overfill fuel tank. Leave space in the tank to allow fuel
to expand without overflowing.
5.
Replace fuel fill cap securely and wipe up spilled fuel
mixture before starting engine. If fuel mixture is spilled
DO NOT start engine. Move machine away from area
of spillage. Avoid creating any source of ignition until
fuel vapors are gone.
NOTE
Replace a damaged or missing fuel fill cap only with a
genuine TecumsehPower replacement Fuel Fill Cap.
Failure to do so may
VOID YOUR WARRANTY
