Failure to add oil to the gasoline or failure to
mix oil with the gasoline at the appropriate
ratio will cause major engine damage which will
void your warranty.
For your fuel premix, only use a quality oil
designed for 2-cycle air cooled engines.
Maruyama 50:1 2-cycle Oil is formulated to
meet the requirements of high-performance,
air-cooled two-cycle engines.
Fuel Mixture
The fuel: oil ratio is 50 parts gasoline to
J
part oil or
50:1.
Note:
50:1
Never use a mixing ratio less than
50:1 regardless of the oil package
mixing instructions. Ratios less the
50:1,
(for example,
60:1,
80:1,
100:1),
reduce the amount of lubrication to
the internal moving parts of the
engine and can cause damage.
