IMPORTANT: GASOLINE/OIL MIXTURE STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS Store your gasoline or gasoline/oil mix- ture 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. Red- Max

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, ap- proved fuel container.
3.Pour in all of the oil and agitate well for 10 seconds.
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 ingredi- ents, 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 don’t contain oil.
6.Indicate the contents on outside of con- tainer for easy identification.
