MIXING FUEL
Fuel Requirements
I Use only fresh, clean fuel
Use only fuel with an octane rating of 90 or
higher
Mix all fuel with premium 2-cycles engine
oil at a gasoline /oil ratio of 25: 1.
IMPORTANT
Mix only enough fuel for your immediate
needs. If fuel must be stored longer than
30-days, it should first be treated with a
stabilizer or equivalent product!
WARNING!
Danger of fire! Never transfer or store
fuels in the presence of combustible
materials! Before starting the engine,
always move the machine to a clear area
at least 10-feels (3-meters)away from fuels
and other combustible materials!
CAUTION!
Never attempt to mix fuel in the machine fuel tank! Always mix all fuels in a clean, approved
container!
Some gasoline contain alcohol as an oxygenated fuels may cause increased engine
operating temperatures! Under certain conditions, alcohol-based fuels may also reduce
the lubricating qualities of some mixing oils! Never use any fuel containing more than 10%
alcohol by volume! When an oxygenated fuel must be used, fuel containing an ether-based
oxygenates such as MTBE Is to be preferred over alcohol!
Whenever possible, use 2-cycle engine oil engine oil or equivalent oil mixed at a 25-30:1
ratio. Be aware that generic oils and some outboard mixing oils may note intended for use
in high-performance air cooled 2-cycle engines, and should never be used in your engine
machine.
