FUELING ENGINE
_,WARNING: Remove fuel cap slowly
when refueling.
This engine is certified to operate on un-
leaded gasoline. Before operation, gasoline
must be mixed with a good quality synthetic
2-eycle air-cooled engine oil designed to be
mixed at a ratio of 40:1. PoulardWeed Eater
brand synthetic oil is recommended. Mix gaso-
line and oil at a ratio of 40:1. A40:1 ratio is ob-
tained by mixing 3.2 ounces (95 ml)of oil with
1gallon (4 liters) of unleaded gasoline. DO
NOT USE automotive oil or boat oil. These
oils will cause engine damage. When mixing
fuel, follow instructions printed on container.
Once oil is added to gasoline, shake contain-
er momentarily to assure that the fuel is thor-
oughly mixed. Always read and follow the
safety rules relating to fuel before fueling your
unit.
IMPORTANT
Experience indicates that alcohol blended
fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture which leads to
separation and formation of acids during stor-
age. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system
of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine
problems, empty the fuel system before stor-
age for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank,
start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next
season.Never use engine or carburetor
cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.See the STORAGE sec-
tion for additional information.
