FUELING ENGINE
_ WARNING: Remove fuel cap slowly
when refueling.
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded
gasoline. Before operation, gasoline must be
mixed with a good quality synthetic 2-cycle
air-cooled engine oil designed to be mixed at
a ratio of 40:1. Poulan/Weed Eater brand
synthetic oil is recommended. Mix gasoline
and oil at a ratio of 40:1. A 40:1 ratio isobtained
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
pdnted on container. Once oil is added to
gasoline, shake container momectadly to
assure that the fuel isthoroughly mixed. Always
read and follow the safety rules relating to fuel
before fueling your unit.
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, empty the 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.
