FUELING ENGINE

This engine is certified to operate on un-
leaded gasoline. Before operation, gasoline
must be mixed with a good quality synthetic
2-cycleair-cooled engine oil. Werecommend
Poulan/Weed Eater brand synthetic oil. Mix
gasoline and oil at aratio of 40:1 . A 40:1 ratio
is obtained by mixing 3.2 ounces of oil with 1
gallon of unleaded gasoline.
DO NOT USE automotive oil or boat oil.
These oils will cause engine damage. When
mixing fuel, follow instructions printed oncon-
tainer. Once oil is added to gasoline, shake
container momentarily to assure that the fuel
is thoroughly mixed. Always read and follow
the safety rules relating to fuel before fueling

IMPORTANT
Experience indicates that alcohol blended
fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture which leads to
separation and formation of acids during stor-
age. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system
of an engine while in storage.
Toavoid engine problems, emptythe fuel sys-
tem before storage for 30 days or longer.
Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it
run until the fuel lines and carburetor are
empty. Use fresh fuel next season.
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner prod-
ucts in the fuel tank or permanent damage
may occur.
See the STORAGE section for additional in-
formation.
