Operating Instructions

1. Fuel

Fuel for this engine requires a mix of leaded or unleaded gasoline and 2 cycle engine oil. Never operate the E-Z Tiller with unmixed or straight gasoline as it will cause rapid and permanent damage to the engine. Mix your gasoline with a high quality 2-cycle oil that is made to mix at one specific ratio of 50:1. We recommend that you select a 2 cycle oil that meets or exceeds BIA requirements.

CAUTION- Do not use gasohol or gasoline that contains alcohol. Always use fresh gasoline. Never attempt to mix the gasoline and oil in the fuel tank of the engine. Always mix your gasoline in a clean gasoline container. Once mixed, shake the container vigorously so the oil mixes with the gasoline.
