PRE-OPERATION
FUEL
Fuel Requirements --
Gasoline - Use 89 Octane [ ] gasoline known to be good quality.
Gasoline may contain up to 10% Ethanol (grain alcohol) or 15%
MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether). Gasoline containing methanol
(wood alcohol) is NOT approved.
Two Stroke Oil - A two-stroke engine oil meeting proposed ISO-L-
EGD Standard (ISO/CD 13738), must be used. Echo brand Premium
50:1 oil meets this proposed standard. Engine problems due to
inadequate lubrication caused by failure to use an ISO-L-EGD
approved oil, such as Echo Premium 50:1 Two-stroke Oil, will void
the two-stroke engine warranty. (Emission related parts
only are
covered for two years, regardless of two-stroke oil used, per the
statement listed in the EPA Phase I/California Emission Defect
Warranty Explanation.)
Mixing - Follow directions on the oil container.
Handling Fuel --
WARNING DANGER
Fuel is VERY flammable. Use extreme care when mixing,
storing or handling or serious personal injury may result.
- Use an approved fuel container.
- DO NOT smoke near fuel.
- DO NOT allow flames or sparks near fuel.
- Fuel tanks/cans may be under pressure. Always loosen fuel
caps slowly allowing pressure to equalize.
- NEVER refuel a unit when the engine is HOT!
- NEVER refuel a unit with the engine running.
- DO NOT fill fuel tanks indoors. ALWAYS fill fuel tanks
outdoors over bare ground.
After Refueling -
- Wipe any spilled fuel from the unit.
- Move at least 3M. (10 ft.) from refueling location before starting.
After use -
- DO NOT store a unit with fuel in its tank. Leaks can occur. Return
unused fuel to an approved fuel storage container.
Storage -
Fuel storage laws vary by locality. Contact your local government for
the laws affecting your area. As a precaution, store fuel in an ap-
proved, air tight container. Store in a well ventilated, unoccupied
building, away from sparks and flames. Do not store fuel longer than
30 days.
