FUELHANDLING
Fuel mixture
CAUTION! The machine is equipped with
a two-stroke engine and must always be
run using a mixture of gasoline and two-
stroke engine oil. It is important to accu-
rately measure the amount of oil to be
mixed to ensure that the correct mixture is
obtained. When mixing sinai+ amounts of
fuel, even smelt inaccuracies can drasticaF
ty effect the ratio of the mixture
&WARNING: Always ensure
there is adequate ventilation when
handling fuel.
Gasoline
CAUTION! Always use high quality
unleaded gasoline
• This engine is certified to operate on
unleaded gasoline.
• The _owest recommended octane rating
is 87. If you run the engine on lower oc-
tane rating than 87, "knock{ng" can oc-
cur. This leads to an increased engine
temperature, which can resutt in a serb
ous engine breakdown.
• When working at continuous high rays a
higher octane rating is recommended.
Two-stroke oil
• For great resutts and performance use
JONSERED two-stroke oil, which is
special+y formutated for our two-stroke
engines. Mixture 1:50 (2%).
• To maximize the life of your blower, you
may choose to use a high quality syn-
thetic oil formulated for two-stroke
engines. Mixture 1:50 (2%).
• Never use two-stroke oi+ intended for
water-cooled outboard engines,
sometimes referred to as outboard oil.
• Never use oit intended for four-stroke
engines.

Mixing
• Always mix the gasoline and oit in a
clean container intended for fuel.
• Always start by filling haft the amount of
the gasoline to be used. Then add the
entire amount of oil. Mix (shake) the fuel
mixture. Add the remaining amount of
gasoline.
• Mix (shake) the fuei mixture thoroughly
before fi+ling the machine's fuet tank.
• Do not mix more than one month's sup-
ply of fuel at a time.
• if the machine is not used for some time,
the fuel tank should be emptied and
cleaned.
WARNING: The catalytic con-
verter muffler gets very hot during
and after use. This also applies
during idling. Be aware of the fire
hazard, especially when working
near flammable substances and/or
vapors.
Fueling
