NOTE: Do not use gasoline containing methanol (wood al- cohol). Fuel containing up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to 15% MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) may be used, but re- quires special care when the engine is not used for extended periods. See “STORAGE” instructions in Engine Owner’s Manual for additional information.
3.The fuel/oil mix ratio is 24:1 with the use of a NMMA clas- sified oil. For new engines, use twice the normal oil quantity for the first gallon of fuel. NOTE: Due to differences in fuel and oil availability worldwide, Tecumseh recommends a 16:1 mix ratio if NMMA oil is not available.
4.Do not mix fuel directly in engine fuel tank. Always use a clean,
•To Mix:
A.Fill a clean, approved container one quarter full with rec- ommended gasoline.
B.Add recommended amount of oil per Chart 1: FUEL MIXTURE.
C.Screw cap on container and shake vigorously. Then un- screw cap and fill container with gasoline per
Chart 1: FUEL MIXTURE. Screw on cap and shake again. Once mixed, oil and gasoline will not separate.
•To Fill Fuel Tank:
A.Engine must be cool. Clean area around fuel tank cap and remove cap. Insert a clean funnel into the fuel tank.
