FUEL HANDLING

SEngine problems due to inadequate lubrication caused by failure to use ISO-- L--EGD certified and JASO FD registered oil such as RedMax air--cooled “MaxLife” synthetic blend premium 2--stroke oil

WILL VOID THE REDMAX TWO- STROKE ENGINE WARRANTY.

CAUTION! Do not use NMMA (National Ma- rine Manufacturers Association), BIA (Boating Industry Association), and TCW (two-- cycle water cooled) oils designed for mopeds or outboard, water cooled marine engines. Do not use API (American Petroleum Institute), TC (2--cycle) labeled oils. The API--TC test standard has been discontinued by API in 1995 and it no longer exists.

Gasoline/oil mixture recommenda- tions

Store your gasoline or gasoline/oil mixture in a cool, dry area in a tightly sealed ap- proved container to limit the entry of mois- ture and additional air (oxygen). Moisture and air cause the development of varnish and gum, making the fuel stale. Stored gas- oline and gasoline/oil mixture ages and loses its octane rating and volatility. Do not mix more gasoline/oil than you intend to use in 30 days, and 60 days when fuel stabilizer is added. RedMax air--cooled “Max Life” synthetic blend premium 2--stroke engine oil contains fuel stabilizer and will automatical- ly extend your gasoline/oil mixture life up to 60 days.

Mixing

SAlways mix the gasoline and oil in a clean container intended for fuel.

SAlways start by flling half the amount of the gasoline to be used. Then add the entire amount of oil. Mix (shake) the fuel mixture.

Add the remaining amount of gasoline.

SMix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly be-

fore filling the machine’s fuel tank.

SDo not mix more than one month’s supply of fuel at a time.

SIf the machine is not used for some time, the fuel tank should be emptied and cleaned.

Fueling

AVERTISSEMENT! Taking the

following precautions will lessen the risk of fire:

Do not smoke and do not place any hot objects in the vicinity of fuel. Always stop the engine and let it cool for a few minutes before re- fueling.

When refueling, open the fuel cap slowly so that any excess pressure is released gently.

Tighten the fuel cap carefully after refueling.

Always move the machine away from the refueling area before starting.

Min. 10 ft.

(3 m)

SClean the area around the fuel cap. Contamination in the tank can cause

operating problems.

SEnsure that the fuel is well mixed by shak- ing the container before filling the tank.

WARNING: Fuel and fuel vapors are highly flammable. Take care when handling fuel . Be aware of the risks of fire, explosion and those associated with inhalation.
