MIXING THE FUEL

nThis product is powered by a 2-cycle engine and requires pre-mixing gasoline and 2-cycle lubri- cant. Pre-mix unleaded gasoline and 2-cycle engine lubricant in a clean container approved for gasoline.

nThis engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline intended for automotive use with an octane rating of 87 [(R + M) / 2] or higher.

■n Do not use any type of pre-mixed gasoline/lubri- cant from fuel service stations, this includes the pre-mixed gasoline/lubricant intended for use in mopeds, motorcycles, etc.

■n Use a high quality 2-cycle self-mixing lubricant for air-cooled engines. Do not use automotive lubricant or 2-cycle outboard lubricant.

■n Mix 2% lubricant into the gasoline. This is a 50:1 ratio.

nMix the fuel thoroughly and each time before fueling.

■n Mix in small quantities. Do not mix quantities larger than usable in a 30-day period. A 2-cycle lubricant containing a fuel stabilizer is recom- mended.
