FUEL AND LUBRICATION
8.1
Fuel
Use regular grade unleaded gasoline mixed with 40:1 custom 2-cycle engine oil for best
results. Use mixing ratios in section fuel mixing table below.
Warning: never use straight gasoline in your unit. This will cause
permanent engine
damage and void the manufacturer’s warranty for that
product. Never use a fuel mixture that has been stored for over 90 days.
Warning: 2-cycle lubricant must be a premium grade oil for 2-cycle air
cooled engines mixed at a 40:1 ratio. Do not use any 2-cycle oil product
with a recommended mixing ratio of 100:1. If insufficient lubrication is the
cause of engine damage, it voids the manufacturer’s engine warranty.
8.2
Mixing fuel
Add oil to an approved fuel container followed by the gasoline to allow incoming gasoline to
mix with oil. Shake container to ensure thorough mix.
Warning: Lack of lubrication voids engine warranty. Gasoline and oil must
be mixed at 40:1

Recommended fuels
Some conventional gasolines are being blended with oxygenates such as alcohol or an ether
compound to meet clean air standards. The engine is designed to operate satisfactorily on any
gasoline intended for automotive use including oxygenated gasolines.
8.2.4
Chain and bar lubrication
Always refill the chain oil tank each time the fuel tank is refilled. We recommend using our
replacement chain & bar. Always use good quality sprocket oil, which contains additives to
reduce friction and wear and to assist in the prevention of pitch formation on the bar and chain
