PRIMARY MAINTENANCE

On 4.-cyle engines with an oll level plug, don'tbe fooled Into thinking the engine has sufficient lubricating oll If you can see "some" oll In the opening - the level should always be

top of the fill hole.

@

Change oll at regular Intervals using a a high quality oll such as Snapper's small engine

formulated 4-cycle engine oil Refer to the engine owner's manual for oil details.

On 2-cycle engines, lubrication must be provided by an exact mixture of gasoline and 2-cycleair-cooled engine oil. A 2-cycle

engine that Is mlatakenly run on straight gasoline will be ruined in less than 5

mlnutesl If you keep straight gasoline in addition to pre-mlxed 2-cycle engine fuel, be sure the containers are clearly marked to avoid mix.up.

Snapper 2-cyale engines require a 32 to 1 mixture of gasoline and BIA certified TC-W oll such as Snapper's 2-cycle engine oil Many of the 2-cycle engine oils on the market today make fantaatlo claims, but for the heat performance and long engine life, always use Snapper 2-cycle all. Premix the fuel and always shake the container before filling the tank.
