IMPORTANT
•Gasoline/Oil mixture Storage Recommendations
Store your gasoline or gasoline/oil mixture in a cool dry area in a tightly sealed approved container to limit the entry of moisture and additional air (oxygen). Moisture and air cause the development of varnish and gum, making the fuel stale. Stored gasoline and gasoline/oil mixture ages and loses its octane rating and volatility. Do not mix more gasoline/oil than you intend to use in 30 days, and 60 days when fuel stabilizer is added. RedMax

1.Select flat and bare ground for fueling.
2.Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from the fueling point before starting the engine.
3.Stop the engine before refueling the unit. At that time, be sure to sufficiently agitate the mixed gasoline in the container.
■FOR YOUR ENGINE LIFE, AVOID
1.FUEL WITH NO OIL (RAW GASOLINE) – It will cause severe damage to the internal engine parts very quickly.
2.GASOHOL – It can cause deterioration of rubber and/or plastic parts and disruption of engine lubrication.
3.OIL FOR
4.Mixed fuels which have been left unused for a period of one month or more may clog the carburetor and result in the engine failing to operate properly.

WARNING
• Pay attention to agitation.
1.Measure out the quantities of gasoline and oil to be mixed.
2.Put some of the gasoline into a clean, approved fuel container.
3.Pour in all of the oil and agitate well for 10seconds.
4.Pour in the rest of gasoline and agitate again for at least one minute. As some oils may be difficult to agitate depending on oil ingredients, sufficient agitation is necessary. Be careful that, if the agitation is insufficient, there is an increased danger of early piston seizure due to abnormally lean mixture.
5.Place a clear indication on the outside of the container to avoid mixing up with gasoline or other containers that dont contain oil.
6.Indicate the contents on outside of container for easy identification.
■FUELING THE UNIT
1.Untwist and remove the fuel cap. Rest the cap on a clean surface.
