FUEL AND LUBRICATION
WARNING: Never use straight gasoline in your
unit. This will cause permanent engine damage
and void the manufacturer’s warranty for that
product. Never use a fuel mixture that has been
stored for over 90 days.
WARNING: If 2-cycle lubricant other than Talon
Custom Lubricant is to be used, it must be a pre-
mium grade oil for 2-cycle air cooled engines
mixed at a 25:1 ratio. Do not use any 2-cycle oil
product with a recommended mixing ratio of
100:1. If insufficient lubrication is the cause of
engine damage, it voids the manufacturer’s
engine warranty for that occurrence.
WARNING: Lack of lubrication voids engine
warranty. Gasoline and oil must be mixed at
25:1.
