OPERATING PROCEDURES
Mixing Fuel
WARNING!
This is a two-stroke engine. Only run the engine on fuel, which is properly
mixed with 2-cycle engine oil. Provide good ventilation when fueling or
handling fuel.
Always use gas with a minimum octane number of 90.
Use 2-stroke engine oil only. Mix 32:1 (or 5%), gas/oil mixture.
Never use multi-grade (10W/30) or waste oil.
Always mix fuel and oil in a separate clean, gas safe container.
Always start by adding half the amount of fuel, which is to be used.
Then add the whole amount of 2-cycle oil. Mix (shake) the fuel
container. Add the remaining amount of fuel. Mix or shake thoroughly
before filling the fuel tank.
Fueling
WARNING!
Always shut the engine off before refueling.
Slowly open the fuel tank, so that possible over-pressure disappears.
Before fueling, clean the tank cap area carefully, to insure that no dirt
falls into the tank. Make sure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the
container.
Tighten the fuel cap carefully, after fueling.
Always move the unit at least 10 feet from the fueling area before
starting.
