2-CYCLE TILLER FUELING
MIXING FUEL
Use a mixture of 50 parts unleaded
regular gasoline and 1 part two-stroke
MANTIS oil (50:1.) Use branded 89
octane (R+M+2) unleaded gasoline
(maximum 10% ethanol, or 15%
MTBE, no methyl alcohol.)
Here’s how to mix the oil with the gas:
1. Pour 1/2 of the gasoline into a safe container. Do not mix
the fuel and oil in the engine fuel tank.
2. Add 2.6 ounces of two-cycle engine oil to the gasoline and
mix. The bottle is measured exactly to 2.6 ounces. Then
add the rest of the gasoline.
3. Screw the cap onto the gasoline can. Then swirl the can to
blend the oil and gas.
4. Carefully pour the fuel mix into the tiller’s fuel tank. After
putting the fuel tank’s cap back on, wipe up any spilled fuel
from tank and gasoline can.
Need more pre-measured engine oil? You can order it
directly from Mantis or your local authorized Mantis
dealer. Just call toll free 1-800-366-6268 and ask for our
Sales Dept.
IMPORTANT:
Two stroke fuel separates and ages. Do not mix more than
you will use in a month. Using old fuel can cause difcult
starting or engine damage. Shake fuel container to thoroughly
mix fuel before each use.
Remember …
• Never, run your tiller on gasoline alone. This will ruin your
engine and void all warranties.
• Always use a clean gas can and always use unleaded gas.
• Never try to mix the oil and gasoline in the engine fuel tank.
• Always mix oil and gas in the proper proportions: 2.6 ounces
of two-cycle engine oil to one gallon of unleaded gasoline.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Do Not use old or stale oil/gasoline mixture. Always use
the proper oil/gasoline mixture. If you do not, your engine will
suffer rapid, permanent damage. And you will void the engine
warranty.
