USE SYNTHETIC OIL
(FOR IMPROVED PERFORMANCE)
USE PRE-FORMULATED,
CANNED FUEL
(HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)
Old fuel will cause damage to the engine,
which isn’t covered
under warranty. Prior to long-term storage, empty the fuel tank
and run the unit until it stops. Properly dispose of old fuel.
Fuel stabilizer can significantly extend the useable life of fuel
and thus helps prevent engine damage caused by stale fuel.
Add fuel stabilizer to fresh fuel only. Don’t try to freshen old
fuel. Fuel stabilizers cannot recover stale fuel. Refer to the
manufacturer’s documentation for more information.
Synthetic oil provides improved lubrication and enhanced
engine performance.
For 2-cycle units, mix 2-cycle oil with fresh
gasoline according to the instructions provided
in the operator’s manual.
For 4-cycle units, do not mix oil with gasoline.
Fuels with more than 10% ethanol will harm small engines.
Check the filling station fuel pump for the ethanol content label.
If fuel stabilizer and/or 2-cycle oil were added to the fuel, gently
shake the fuel container to thoroughly mix the fuel before fueling
the unit. Do not shake straight, unmixed fuel.
Pre-formulated, canned fuels generally include fuel
stabilizers, do not contain any ethanol, and are sealed to
maintain freshness. 2-cycle versions also include synthetic
oil mixed in the proper proportion. Pre-formulated,
canned fuels address all or most of the fuel-related
issues described on this sheet.
