RedMax GZ7000 manual Mixing, Chain oil, Fuel Handling

FUEL HANDLING

•If the oil is registered with JASO, the JASO Logo with FD and registration number will be displayed on the container. The highest JASO rating is "FD", which equals the ISO-L-EGD rating. Lower ratings are "FC", "FB" and "FA".

•Engine problems due to inadequate lubrication caused by failure to use ISO-L-EGD certified and JASO FD registered oil such as "MaxLife", RedMax Synthetic blend Premium 2-stroke oil WILL VOID THE REDMAX TWO-STROKE ENGINE WARRANTY.

CAUTION! Do not use NMMA (National Marine 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 (Two Cycle) labeled oils. The API-TC test standard has been discontinued by API in 1995 and it no longer exists.

Gasoline/oil mixture storage recommendations

Store your gasoline or gasoline/oil mixture in a cool dry area in a tightly sealed approved container to limit the entry of moisture and additional air (oxygen). Moisture and air cause the development of varnish and gum, making the fuel stale. Stored gasoline 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 two-stroke engine oil "contains fuel stabilizer" and will automatically extend your gasoline/oil mixture life up to 60 days.

Mixing

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

•Always start by filling 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.

•Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly before filling the machine’s fuel tank.

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

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

Chain oil

•We recommend the use of special RedMax bar and chain oil with good adhesion characteristics.

•Never use waste oil. This results in damage to the oil pump, the bar and the chain.

•It is important to use oil of the right grade (suitable viscosity range) to suit the air temperature.

•In temperatures below 32°F (0°C) some oils become too viscous.This can overload the oil pump and result in damage to the oil pump components.

•Contact your service agent when choosing chain oil.
