FUELING ENGINE
WARNING: Remove fuel cap
slowly when refueling.
This engine is certified to operate on un-
leaded gasoline. Before operation, gaso-
line must be mixed with a good quality
synthetic 2-cycte air-cooled engine oil.
We recommend Craftsman brand syn-
thetic oil. Mix gasoline and oil at a ratio
of 40:1. A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mix-
ing 3.2 ounces of oil with 1 gatlon of un-
leaded gasoline. Included with this
blower is a 3.2 ounce container of oil.
Pour the entire contents of this container
into 1 galton of gasoline to achieve the
proper fuel mixture. DO NOT USE auto-
motive oil or boat oil. These oils will
cause engine damage. When mixing
fuel, follow instructions printed on con-
tainer. Once oil is added to gasoline,
shake container momentarily to assure
that the fuel is thoroughly mixed. Always
