EN-9
Mixing Gasoline And Oil
For simplicity and best engine performance, mix
8 ounces of Lawn-Boy 2-CYCLE ASHLESS OIL
with two gallons of fresh, unleaded regular gasoline.
Pour one gallon 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. 8). 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. 9).
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.
