Mixing Fuel / 2-Cycle Oil
WARNING
Do not smoke or allow smoking near fuel or the cultivator.
Mix and pour fuel outdoors WHERE THERE ARE NO
SPARKS OR FLAMES.
The 2-cycle engine on your cultivator requires that fuel and
2-cycle engine oil need to be pre-mixed before adding to
the fuel tank.
WARNING
Always mix the gasoline and 2-cycle oil in a container
approved for gasoline. Never mix fuel directly in the engine
fuel tank.
Use fresh unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 89 or
higher and less than 10% ethanol.
Use 2-cycle oil that meets or exceeds JASO – FC
specifications and is intended for mixing at a fuel to oil ratio
of 50:1. We recommend the continuous use of a 2 cycle fuel
additive/stabilizer to counteract the effects of ethanol.
These additives also prolong the shelf life of gasoline.
NOTICE
Use of incorrect gasoline such as diesel fuel or gasoline
containing more than 10% ethanol or methanol will damage
the cultivator engine and void your warranty.
NOTICE
Use of incorrect oil, such as automotive oil, 2-cycle marine
outboard oil, or any oil other than specified oil will damage
the cultivator engine and void your warranty.
To mix the fuel and 2-cycle oil, follow instructions on 2-cycle
oil container for mixing fuel. Mix gasoline and 2-cycle oil
at a ratio of 50:1. A mixture with a 50:1 ratio is obtained
by mixing 1 gallon (4 liters) of gasoline with 2.6 ounces of
oil (77 ml). After adding oil to gasoline, shake container
momentarily to ensure proper mixing.
IMPORTANT: Mix only enough fuel for your immediate needs. Do
not store pre-mixed fuel.
