IV. Before Starting Your Engine

A. Mixing Fuel and Oil

NEVER store engine with fuel in fuel tank
 inside a building with potential sources of

ignition such as hot water and space heaters, clothes
dryers, electric motors, etc.

NOTE

DO NOT mix fuel and oil directly in fuel tank.

Use of  NMMA, TC-W

II

 or TC-W3 , JASO FB or JASO FC

classified oil is recommended.

Contact your Authorized Tecumseh Servicing Dealer for
Tecumseh Oil Part Numbers.

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 and 2.

3.

Add required amount of recommended oil to fuel. See
Table 1. Fuel Mix Chart.

4.

Screw cap onto container.

5.

Shake container vigorously.

6.

Unscrew cap from container.

7.

Fill container with remainder of recommended fuel. See
Tables 1 and 2.

8.

Wipe away any spilled fuel or oil.

B.  Filling Fuel Tank

Gasoline (fuel) vapors are highly flam-
mable 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 1.

NOTE

For  recommended mixture ratios of fuel and oil,  See Table 1.
See “IV. A. Mixing Fuel and Oil” instructions.

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.
