WARNING: Be sure to read the fuel information in the safety rules before you be- gin. If you do not understand the safety rules, do not attempt to fuel your unit. Contact an authorized service dealer.

FUELING ENGINE

WARNING: Remove fuel cap slowly when refueling.

This engine is certified to operate on un- leaded gasoline. Before operation, gasoline must be mixed with a good quality 2-cycle air- cooled engine oil mixed at a ratio of 40:1 (2.5%). A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 5 liters of unleaded gasoline with 0,125 liter of oil. DO NOT USE automotive oil or boat oil. These oils will cause engine damage. When mixing fuel, follow instructions printed on oil container. Once oil is added to gasoline, shake container momentarily to assure that the fuel is thoroughly mixed. Always read and follow the safety rules relating to fuel before fueling your unit.

IMPORTANT

Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during stor- age. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, empty the fuel system before stor- age for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

HOW TO STOP YOUR UNIT
