Definition of Bmended Fuels

Today's fueis are often a bbnd of gasoiine and oxygenates such as ethanol, methanol, or MTBE (ether). AIcohol-bbnded fuel absorbs water. As littb as 1% water in the fue[ can make rue[ and oi[ separate, it forms acids when stored. When using alcohol-bbnded fuel, use fresh rue[ (Hessthan 60 days oid).

AJways use the fresh fuel mix explained in your operator's manual

Always agitate the fuel mix before fueling the unit

,Drain the tank and run the engine dry before storing the unit

Using FuemAdditives

The bottle of 2-cycb oil that came with your unit contains a fuel additive which will help inhibit corrosion and minimize the formation of gum deposits, it is recommended that you use our 2-cycb oil with this unit.

if unavailable, use a good 2-cycle oil designed for air-coobd engines along with a fuel additive, such as STA-B[L" Gas Stabilizer or an equivalent. Add 0.8 oz.

(23 ml.) of fuel additive per gallon of fuel according to the instructions on the container. NEVER add fuel additives

directly to the unit's fuel tank.

, For proper engine

• operatbn and

maximum reliability, pay strict attentbn to the oil and fuel mixing instructions on the

2-cycle oil container. Using improperly mixed fuel can severely damage the engine.

ThorougHy mix the proper ratio of 2-cycb engine oil

with unleaded gasoline in a separate fuel can. Use a 40:1 fuel/oil ratio. Do not mix them directly in the engine fuel

tank. See the table below for specific gas and oil mixing ratios.

NOTE: One gabn (3.8 liters) of unleaded gasoline mixed

with one 3.2 oz. (95 ml.) bottle of 2-cycb oil makes a 40:1 fuel/oil ratio.
