Fueling

(Do Not Smoke!)

This product is powered by a 2-cycle engine and requires pre- mixing gasoline and 2-cycle oil. Pre-mix unleaded gasoline and 2- cycle engine oil in a clean container approved for gasoline (Fig. 35).

RECOMMENDED FUEL: THIS ENGINE IS CERTIFIED TO OPERATE ON UNLEADED GASOLINE INTENDED FOR AUTOMOTIVE USE WITH AN OCTANE RATING OF 89 ([R + M] / 2) OR HIGHER (Fig. 36).

Mix 2-Cycle Engine Oil with gasoline according to the instructions on the package. If 2-Cycle Engine Oil is not available, use a high quality 2-cycle engine oil for correct mixing proportion see table below (Fig. 37).

CAUTION: DO NOT USE AUTOMOTIVE OIL OR 2-CYCLE OUTBOARD OIL.

CAUTION: Never use a fuel with an alcohol percentage higher than 10%; gasohol up to 10% alcohol or E10 fuel are acceptable.

When using an Oxygenated Gasoline a good practice of Fuel Management is necessary.

Gasoline Oxygenated with alcohol readily takes/up water when it is present; the water may be condensed out of humid air or be a contaminant in the fuel system, including tank.

CAUTION:

-Match your fuel purchases to your consumption; don’t buy more than you will use in one or two months;

-Store gasoline in a tightly-closed container in a cool, dry place.

The use of Oxygenated Gasoline may cause the occurrence of vapor-lock easier.
