ATTENTION TWO-STROKE ENGINE
POWERED PRODUCT OWNERS
RedMax Hi-Performance 2--Stroke engines
produce higher HP (horse powe r) ou tputs as
compared to standard Home Owner Duty or
Light Commercial Duty production engines
offered by most manufacturers. To help
insure trouble free performance of the unit,
it is required
to use oil which meets the
ISO--L--EGD Standard per ISO/CD 13738
and one that is registered under JASO
M345/FD Standards. RedMax MaxLife
t
Synthetic Blend 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 use of 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-Performance Air Cooled
2--Stroke engine requires the use of
MINIMUM 89 Octane (mid-grade or pre-
mium) clean gasoline. If octane rating of
the mid-grade gasoline is lower than 89
octane, use premium unleaded gasoline.
Warning: Gasoline with octane rating lower
than 89 will greatly increase engines oper-
ating temperature. Low octane gasoline will
cause detonation (knock) resulting in piston
seizures 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.
(Emission related parts only
are covered for
two years, regardless of 2--stroke oil used,
per the statement listed in the EPA or
California Emission Defect Warranty
Explanation.)
THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT IN-
CLUDE, OR COVER DAMAGE TO
THE UNIT OR ENGINE CAUSED BY:
1. Lack of lubrication or engine failure, due
to the use of 2--s troke oils that do
not
meet the ISO--L--EGD (ISO/CD
13738)
and are
not registered to meet JASO
M345/FD Standards
. Engine problems
due to inadequate lubrication caused by
failure to use an ISO--L--EGD compliant
and JASO M345/FD registered oil,
WILL VOID
the RedMax 2--Stroke
Engine Warranty. RedMax MaxLife
t
synthetic blend 2--stroke Oil meets
the ISO--L --E GD and is registered to
JASO Standard M345/FD.
2. Damage caused by use of gasohol,
containing methanol (wood alcohol), or
gasoline containing LESS than 89
OCTANE. Only use gasolines which
contain 89 octane or Higher
.
