FUEL AND OIL
23
After the break-in fuel mixture is used up, it is no longer necessary to add oil with the gasoline.
NOTE: At the end of the break-in period, visually check to see if the oil level in the oil injection tank has dropped.
Oil usage indicates the oil injection system is functioning correctly.
Gasoline/Oil Mixing Ratio Chart
Gas/Oil Ratio 3.8 liters (1 gal.) gas 11.5 liters (3 gal.) gas 23 liters (6 gal.) gas
50:1 (2%) 89 ml (3 fl. oz.) oil 237 ml (8 fl. oz.) oil 473 ml (16 fl. oz.) oil
MIXING GASOLINE AND OIL
Portable Tank - Pour 4 liters (1 gallon) of gasoline into tank. Add the correct amount of oil and mix thoroughly. Add
the remainder of gasoline.
Build-in Tank - Using a funnel, pour the correct amount of oil slowly with the gasoline as tank is filled.
Avoiding Fuel Flow Restriction
IMPORTANT: Adding components to the fuel supply system (filters, valves, fittings, etc.) may restrict the fuel flow.
This may cause engine stalling at low speed, and/or a lean fuel condition at high RPM that could cause engine
damage.
Filling Remote Oil Tank
Remove filler cap and fill with the specified oil. Oil tank capacity is 11.5 liters (3 galllons). Replace filler cap and
tighten securely.
IMPORTANT: Always make sure the oil tank caps are threaded on tight. An air leak will prevent oil flow to the
engine.
