PRIMARY MAINTENANCE

On 4-cyle engines with an oil level plug, don't be footed into thinking the engine has sufficient lubricating all If you can see "some" oll In the opening - the level should always be brought up to the point of

top of the fill hole.

Change all at regular Intervals using s a high quality oll such as Snapper's small engine formulated 4-cycle engine oil Refer to the engine owner'smanual for all details.

On 2-cyele engines, lubrication must be provided by an exact mixture of gasoline and 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil. A 2-cycle engine that Is mistakenly run on strelght gasoline will be ruined in less than 5 mlnutosl If you keep straight gasoline In addition to pre-mlxed 2-cycle engine fuel, be sure the containers are clearly marked to avoid mix-up.

Snapper 2-cyale engines require a 32 to 1 mixture of gasoline and BIA certified TC-W oU such as Snapper's 2-cyele engine oil Many of the 2-cyele engine oils on the market today make fantasflc claims, but for the best performance and long engine life, always use Snapper 2-cycle oti.
