WARNING

Reread the Safety Precautions relating

to “Handling Fuel” on Page 3.

The Cub Cadet Commercial trimmer uses an oil- gasoline mixture as fuel. The engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline.

Use regular name-brand unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane number of 89. If the octane number of the regular grade gasoline in your area is lower use premium unleaded fuel. Fuel with a lower octane number may result in preignition (causing “pinging”) which is accompanied by an increase in engine temperature. This, in turn, increases the risk of piston seizure and damage to the engine.

The chemical composition of the fuel is also important. Some fuel additives not only detrimentally affect elastomers (carburetor diaphragms, oil seals, fuel lines etc.), but magnesium castings as well. This could cause running problems or even damage the engine. For this reason it is essential that you use only name- brand fuels!

IMPORTANT:

Do not use any gasoline containing alcohol. Serious engine or fuel system damage will occur.

Use only quality two-stroke, air-cooled engine oil with the classification TC. The mix ratio is 25-30:1.

We recommend Cub Cadet Commercial brand 2- Stroke Engine Oil since it is specially tested for use in all Cub Cadet Commercial two-stroke engines. The mix ratio is 50:1

IMPORTANT:

Do not use BIA or TCW (two-stroke water cooled) mix oils!

Directions for Mixing: (See Chart for Amounts)

1.Put one-half of the gasoline in a safety approved container.

2.Add the proper amount of two-stroke oil and mix thoroughly.

3.Add the remainder of the gasoline and mix thoroughly.

Take care when handling gasoline. Avoid direct contact with the skin and avoid inhaling fuel vapor.

The gasoline container should be kept tightly closed in order to prevent any moisture getting into the mixture.

Only mix sufficient fuel for a few days work, not to exceed 30 days of storage. Store in a safety approved fuel container only.

Dispose of empty two-stroke oil containers at authorized disposal locations only.

CAUTION

The engine used on this trimmer is of a 2-cycle design. The internal moving parts of the engine, f.e., crankshaft bearings, piston pin bearings and piston to cylinder wall contact surfaces, require oil mixed with the gasoline for lubrication. Failure to add oil to the gasoline or failure to mix oil with the gasoline at the appropriate ratio will cause major engine damage which will void your warranty. For your fuel premix, only use Cub Cadet Commercial brand 50:1 2-cycle oil or a quality oil designed for 2-cycle air cooled engines.
