8 Avoid using any oil other than the des-
ignated type.
8 Use a thoroughly blended fuel-oil mix-
ture.
8 If the mixture is not thoroughly blend-
ed, or if the mixing ratio is incorrect,
the following problems could occur:
8 Low oil ratio: Lack of oil could
cause major engine trouble, such
as piston seizure.
8 High oil ratio: Too much oil could
cause fouled spark plugs, smoky
exhaust, and heavy carbon
deposits.
NOTE:
If using a permanently installed tank, pour
the oil gradually as the fuel is being added
to the tank.
