PRIMARY MAINTENANCE
On 4-cyle engines with an oll level plug,
don't be fooled Into thinking the engine has
sufficient lubricating all If you can see "some"
oll In the opening - the level should always be
brought up to the point of
top of the fill hole.
@
On 2-cycle engines, lubrication must be
provided by an exact mixture of gasoline
and 2-cycle alr-cocled engine cll. A 2-cycle
engine that Is mistakenly run on strelght
gasoline will be ruined In less than 5
mlnutasl If you keep straight gsaollne In
addition to pro-mixed 2-cycis engine fuel,
be sure the containers are clearly marked
to avoid mix-up.
Snapper 2-cycle engines require a 32 to 1
mixture of gseetlne and BIA certlfisd TC-W
oll such as Snapper's 2-cycle engine oil
Many of the 2.cycta engine oils on the
market today make fantostlc clelms, but for
the best performance and long engine life,
always use Snapper 2-cycle oil Premix
the fuel and always shake the container
before filling the tank.
