Fueling
(Do Not Smoke!) (Fig. 28)
This product is powered by a 2-cycle engine and requires
pre-mixing gasoline and 2-cycle oil. Pre-mix unleaded gasoline
and 2-cycle engine oil in a clean container approved for gasoline
(Fig. 26).
RECOMMENDED
FUEL: THIS ENGINE IS CERTIFIED TO
OPERATE ON UNLEADED GASOLINE INTENDED FOR
AUTOMOTIVE USE WITH AN OCTANE RATING OF 89 ([R + M]
/ 2) OR HIGHER (Fig. 27).
Mix 2-Cycle Engine Oil with gasoline according to the instructions
on the package. If 2-Cycle Engine Oil is not available, use a high
quality 2-cycle engine oil for correct mixing proportion see table
below.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE AUTOMOTIVE OIL OR
2-CYCLE OUTBOARD OIL.
CAUTION: Never use a fuel with an alcohol percentage
higher than 10%. Gasohol with up to 10% alcohol or
E10 fuel are acceptable.
When using an oxygenated gasoline a good practice of fuel
management is necessary.
Gasoline oxygenated with alcohol readily takes up water when it
is present; the water may be condensed out of humid air or be a
contaminant in the fuel system, including tank.
CAUTION:
- Match your fuel purchases to your consumption;
don’t buy more than you will use in one or two
months;
- Store gasoline in a tightly-closed container in a
cool, dry place.
The use of oxygenated gasoline may cause the occurrence of
vapor-lock easier.
NOTE: 2-Cycle Engine Oil contains a fuel stabilizer and will stay
fresh up to 30 days. DO NOT mix quantities larger than usable in
a 30 day period. A 2-cycle oil containing a fuel stabilizer is
recommended.
