Never use straight gasoline in your unit. This will cause permanent engine damage and void the manufactur- er’s warranty for that product. Never use a fuel mixture that

has been stored for over 90 days.

If 2-cycle lubricant other than Genuine McCulloch Lubricant is to be used, it 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

4-4.RECOMMENDED FUELS

Some conventional gasolines are being blended with oxy- genates such as alcohol or an ether compound to meet clean air standards. Your McCulloch engine is designed to operate on any gasoline intended for automotive use including oxygenated gasolines.

4-5.CHAIN AND BAR LUBRICATION

Always refill the chain oil tank each time the fuel tank is refilled. We recommend using Genuine McCulloch Chain, Bar and Sprocket Oil, which contains additives to reduce friction and wear and to assist in the prevention of pitch for- mation on the bar and chain.
