BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
WARNING; Experience indicates that
alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or
those using ethanol or methanol) can
attract moisture which leads to separation
and formation of acids during storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of
an engine while in storage. To avoid engine
problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage for 30 days or
longer. Start engine and let it run until fuel
lines and carburetor are empty. Use
carburetor bowl drain to empty residual
gasoline from float chamber (See figure in
Storage section, page 16). Use fresh fuel
next season, (See Storage Instructions on
page t6 for additional information).
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.
FILL GAS

thrower requires a mixture of gasoline and
oil for lubrication of the bearings and other
moving parts. The correct fuel mixture ratio
is 40:1 (3.2 oz. oil per gallon of gas - see
Fuel Mixture Chart). Gasoline and oil must
be pre-mixed in a clean gasoline container,
Always use fresh, clean, unleaded gasoline.
