FUEL AND OIL MIXTURE

The snowthrower uses a two cycle engine that requires a mixture of fuel (gasoline) and oil for lubrication of engine bearings and other moving parts.

The correct fuel/oil mixture ratio is 50 to 1. Use fuel/oil mixture chart shown.

NOTE: To prevent damage to engine, carefully observe recommended fuel to oil mixing ratio and procedures.

Gasoline and oil must be premixed in a clean fuel container.

Always use fresh, unleaded, winter grade fuel.

Never put plain, unmixed fuel into fuel tank. Shake fuel container each time before filling fuel tank.

Never use “stale” fuel left over from last season or stored for long periods.

DO NOT USE MULTI VISCOSITY OILS, SUCH AS 10W-30 or 10W-40.

PROPER FUEL MIXING PROCEDURE

1.Fill approved clean fuel container one quarter full with fresh unleaded fuel - one quart (one liter) in a one gallon (4 liter) container.

2.Pour recommended amount of high quality two cycle oil — 2.5 ounces (80 ml) into fuel container for one gallon (4 liters) of fuel. (NOTE: DO NOT USE

MULTI VISCOSITY OILS, SUCH AS 10W-30 or 10W-40.)

3.Reinstall cap on the fuel container and shake con- tainer vigorously so oil mixes with gasoline.

4.Unscrew cap and fill container with fuel. Shake con- tainer again.

5.Remove fuel tank cap and carefully pour mixed fuel into the fuel tank, filling to 1/2 inch (1.5 cm) below filler neck to allow room for expansion. Never put plain, unmixed fuel into fuel tank. Shake fuel con- tainer each time before filling fuel tank.
