OIL AND FUEL MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Old and/or improperly mixed fuel are the main reasons
for the unit not running properly. Be sure to use fresh,
clean unleaded fuel. Follow the instructions carefully for
the proper fuel/oil mixture.
Definition of Blended Fuels
Today's fuels are often a blend of gasoline and oxy-
genates such as ethanol, methanol or MTBE (ether)°
Alcohol-blended fuel absorbs waten As little as 1%
water in the fuel can make fuel and oil separate,, It forms
acids when stored° When using alcohoFblended fuel,
use fresh fuel (less than 60 days old),,
Using Blended Fuels
If you choose to use a blended fuel, or its use is
unavoidable, follow recommended precautions_
• Always use fresh fuel mix per your operator's manual.
• Use the fuel additive STA-BIL® or an equivalent.,
• Always agitate the fuel mix before fueling the unit.
° Drain the tank and run the engine dry before storing
the unit.
Using Fuel Additives
The use of fuel additive, such as STA-BIL® Gas
Stabilizer or an equivalent, will inhibit corrosion and mini-
mize the formation of gum deposits° Using a fuel addi-
tive can keep fuel from forming harmful deposits in the
carburetor for up to six (6) months., Add 0.B oz,,(23 mL)
of fuel additive per gallon of fuel according to the
instructionson the container. NEVER add fuel additives
directly to the unit's fuel tank.
_ CAUTION: For proper engine operation and j
maximum reliability, pay strict attention to thej
oil and fuel mixing instructions on the 2-cyclej
oil container° Using improperly mixed fuel can
severely damage the eng ne° j

Thoroughly mix the proper ratio of 2-cycle engine oil
with unleaded gasoline in a separate fuel can, Use a 32:1
fuel/oil ratio,,Do not mix them directly in the engine fuel
tank,, See the table below for specific gas and oil mixing
ratios.
NOTE: One gallon (3_Bliters) of unleaded gasoline mixed
with one 4 oz. (120 mlo)bottle of RYOBI 2 CYCLE
OIL makes a 32:1 fuel/oil ratio.
