FUEL
Gasoline is very flammable. Avoid smoking or
bringing any flame or sparks near fuel. Make sure
to stop the engine and allow it cool before refueling the unit. Select
outdoor bare ground for fueling and move at least 3m away from the
fueling point before starting the engine.
Please use an anti-oxidant added quality oil expressly labeled for
air-cooled 2-cycle engine use. (JASO FCGRAD OIL or ISO EGCGRADE)
Do not use BIA or TCW (2-stroke water-cooling type) mixed oil.
Exhaust emission are controlled by the fundamental engine
parameters and components (eq., carburetion, ignition timing and
port timing) without addition of any major hardware or the
introduction of an inert material during combustion.
These engines are certified to operate on unleaded gasoline.
Make sure to use gasoline with a minimum octane number of 89 RON
(USA/Canada:87AL)
If you use a gasoline of a lower octane value than prescribed, there is a
danger that the engine temperature may rise and an engine problem such
as piston seizing may consequently occur.
Unleaded gasoline is recommended to reduce the contamination of the air
for the sake of your health and the environment.
Poor quality gasoline or oils may damage sealing rings, fuel lines or fuel
tank of the engine.
HOW TO MIX FUEL
Pay attention to agitation
a. Measure out the quantities of gasoline and oil to be mixed.
b. Put some of the gasoline into a clean, approved fuel container.
c. Pour in all the oil and agitate well.
d. Pour in the rest of gasoline and agitate again for at least one minute. As
some oils may be difficult to agitate depending on oil ingredients,
sufficient agitation is necessary for the engine to last long. Be careful
that, if the agitation is insufficient, there is an increased danger of early
