This engine is certified to operate on un- leaded gasoline. Before operation, gasoline must be mixed with a good quality 2-cycle air- cooled engine oil. We recommend Poulan/ Weed Eater brand oil. Mix gasoline and oil at a ratio of 40:1 (A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing

3.2ounces of oil with 1 gallon of unleaded gasoline). DO NOT use automotive oil or boat oil. These oils will cause engine damage. When mixing fuel, follow instructions printed on container. Once oil is added to gasoline, shake container momentarily to assure that the fuel is thoroughly mixed. Always read and follow the safety rules relating to fuel before fueling your unit.
