HANDLING FUEL
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS -
1. Fill an approved fuel container with half of the
required amount of gasoline.
2. Add the proper amount of two-stroke oil to
gasoline.
3. Close container and shake to mix oil with
gasoline.
4. Add remaining gasoline, close fuel container,
and remix.
IMPORTANT
• Spilled fuel is a leading cause of hydrocarbon
emissions. Some states may require the use of
automatic fuel shut-off containers to reduce fuel
spillage.
• Stored fuel ages.
Do not mix more fuel than you expect to use in
thirty (30) days, ninety (90) days when a fuel
stabilizer is added.
• Stored two-stroke fuel may separate. ALWAYS
shake fuel container thoroughly before each
use.
AFTER USE -
DO NOT store a unit with fuel in its tank. Leaks can
occur. Return unused fuel to an approved fuel
storage container.
STORAGE -
Fuel storage laws vary by locality. Contact your
local government for the laws affecting your area.
As a precaution, store fuel in an approved, airtight
container. Store in a well-ventilated, unoccupied
building, away from sparks and flames.
DANGER
Fuel is VERY flammable. Use extreme care
when mixing, storing or handling or serious
personal injury may result.
• Use an approved fuel container.
• DO NOT smoke near fuel.
• DO NOT allow flames or sparks near fuel.
• Fuel tanks/cans may be under pressure.
Always loosen fuel caps slowly allowing
pressure to equalize.
• NEVER refuel a unit when the engine is
HOT!
• NEVER refuel a unit with the engine
running.
• DO NOT fill fuel tanks indoors.
ALWAYS fill fuel tanks outdoors over bare
ground.
• Securely tighten fuel cap after refueling.

If fuel leakage is found, do not start or
operate unit until leakage is repaired.
• Move at least 3 m (10 feet) from refueling
location before starting the engine.
