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). Tootlttle off or the incorrect oil type wi]] caUse poorperformance 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 gaso- line. IMPORTANT: Experience indicetes that alcohol blended fuelscalledgasoho! (orusingethanolormetha- nol) can attract moisture, which leads to oi!/gas separa- tion and formation of aoids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine whilein stor- age. To avoid engine problems, thefuet system should be emptied before storagefor 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, then run the fuel outof the carburetor and fuel lines by starting the eng{neand letting it rununtilit sL,'_s, Use fresh f,_ ne_ se,_-',s_'_.8Be STOF_AGE instructionsfor additbnal information.
