POWERED PRODUCT OWNERS
RedMax Hi-Performance 2--Stroke engines
producehigher HP (horse p ow er ) outp uts as
compared to standar d Home Owner Duty or
Light Commerc ial Duty production engines
offered by most manufact urers. To help
insuretrouble free performance of the unit,
it is required
to useoil whichmeets the
ISO--L--EGD Standard per ISO/CD 13738
and one that is registered under JASO
M345/FD Standards. RedMax MaxLife
t
SyntheticBlend 2-Stroke Oil is a premium
2-stroke oil specifically formulated to meet
ISO--L--EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and JASO
M345/FD Standards.
The useof un-registered
oils designed for
other applications, such as for outboard mo-
tors or lawnmowers, or low RPM, low HP
output engines, can result in severe engine
damage, and void your 2--stroke engine
warranty. This Hi-PerformanceAir Cooled
2--Stroke engine requires the use of
MINIMUM 89 Octane (mid-grade or pre-
mium) clean gasoline. If octane rating of
the mid-gradegasoline is lower than 89
octane, use premium unleaded gasoline.
Warning: Gasoline with oct ane rating lower
than 89 will greatly incr ease engines oper-
ating temperature. L ow octane gasoline will
cause d etonation (knock) resulting in piston
seizur es and major internal engine compo-
nent damage. Engine failures caused by
operating engines on gasoline with octane
rating lower
than 89 are not covered by the
RedMax 2--Stroke Engine Warranty.
