Before Starting
Oil Mix Ratio
Your Lawn-Boy mower is powered by a 2-cycle engine
which requires a 32:1 mixture of gasoline and oil. Use
only Lawn-Boy
r
Generation II, 2-Cycle Ashless Oil,
packaged in purple/green cans (Fig. 3) or an equivalent
premium grade 2–cycle ashless oil, certified NMMA
TCW III. Failure to use the correct oil or mixture ratio
could result in serious engine damage.
Figure 3
Lawn-Boy Generation II, 2-Cycle Ashless Oil is
formulated for Lawn-Boy and is available from your
Lawn-Boy retailer. Regular use of Lawn-Boy Generation
II, 2-Cycle Ashless Oil will help keep your engine clean,
reduce spark plug fouling, piston ring sticking and
pre-ignition. Lawn-Boy Generation II, 2-Cycle Ashless
Oil will also minimize varnish build-up, combustion
chamber deposits and exhaust port blockage.
IMPORTANT: Never use automotive oil (i.e. SAE 30,
10W30 etc.) or the wrong mix ratio because engine
damage may occur. If engine failure occurs and it has
been determined that Lawn-Boy Generation II, 2-Cycle
Ashless Oil or an NMMA TCW III certified oil was not
used, the failure may not be covered by the Lawn-Boy
warranty.
