GASOLINE The two-cycle engiue on this preduct requires a fuel mixture of regular unleaded gasoline and a high quality 2-cycte engine off (AIR-COOI_D) for lubrication of the bearings and other moving parts. The correct fuel] oll _e is 40:I (see Fuel Mixture Chart). Too tlttle off or the incorrect oil type wi]] caUse poor performance and may cause the engine to overheat and seize. Ga_line and o_ must be premixed in a clean approved fuel container. Always use fresh regular unleeded gasoline. IMPORTANT: Experience indicetes that alcohol blended fuels calledgasoho! (orusingethanolor methanol) can attract moisture, which leads to oi!/gas separation and formation of aoids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine whilein storage. To avoid engine problems, thefuet system should be emptied before storagefor 30 days or longer.
