PRIMARY MAINTENANCE

On 4-cyle engines with an oll level plug, don'tbe fooled into thinking the engine has sufficient lubricating oii if you can see "some" oil in the opening - the level should always be

brought up to the point ofat the top of the fill hole.

Change oil at regular Intervals using a a high quality oil such as Snapper's small engine formulated 4-cycle engine oil Refer to the engine owner'smanual for oll details.

STARTING CHECK UST

On 2-cycle engines, lubrication must be provided by an exact mixture of gasoline and 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil. A 2-cycle engine that is mistakenly run on straight gasoline will be ruined in less than 5 mlnutesl If you keep straight gasoline in addition to pre-mixed 2-cycle engine fuel, be sure the containers are clearly marked to avoid mix-up.

Snapper 2-cycle engines require a 32 to 1 mixture of gasollna and BIA certified TC-W oll such as Snapper's 2-cycle engine o11. Many of the 2-cycle engine otis on the market today make fantastic claims, but for the best performance and long engine life, always use Snapper 2-cycle oil Pre-mix the fuel and always shake the container before filling the tank.
