Using Blended Fuels
If you choose to use a Mended fuel or its use is unavoid-
able, follow recommended precautions:
Always use the fresh fuel mix explained in your opera-
tor's manual
Always shake the fuel mix before fueling the unit
Drain the tank and run the engine dry before storing the
unit
Using Fuel Additives
The bottle of 2-cycle oil that came with your unit contains
a fuel additive which will help inhibit corrosion and mini-
mize the formation of gum deposits. It is recommended
that you use our 2-cycle oil with this unit.
If unavailable, use a good 2-cycle oil designed for
air-cooled engines along with a fuel additive, such as
STA-BIL _Gas Stabilizer or an equivalent. Add 0.8 oz.
(23 ml.) of fuel additive per gallon of fuel according to the
instructions on the container. NEVER add fuel additives
directly to the unit's fuel tank.
To Obtain Correct Fuel Mix:
Thoroughly mix the proper ratio of 2-cycle engine oil with
unleaded gasoline in a separate fuel can. Use a 40:1
fuel/oil ratio. Do not mix them directly in the engine fuel
tank. See the table below for specific gas and oil mixing
ratios.
NOTE: One gallon (3.8 liters) of unleaded gasoline mixed
with one 3.2 oz. (95 ml.) bottle of
2-cycle oil makes a 40:1 fuel/oil ratio.
