• Engine problems due to inadequate lubrication
caused by failure to use ISO-L-
EGD certified and
JASO
FD registered oil such as "MaxLife", RedMax
Synthetic blend Premium 2-stroke oil
WILL VOID THE
REDMAX TWO-STROKE ENGINE WARRANTY.
WARNING
• Do not use NMMA (National Marine Manufacturers
Association), BIA (Boating Industry Association), and
TCW (two cycle water cooled) oils designed for
MoPeds or Outboard, water cooled Marine Engines.
Do not use API (American Petroleum Institute), TC
(Two Cycle) labeled oils. The API-TC test standard
has been discontinued by API in 1995 and it no longer
exists.
IMPORTANT
• Gasoline/Oil mixture Storage Recommenda-
tions
Store your gasoline or gasoline/oil mixture in a cool
dry area in a tightly sealed approved container to limit
the entry of moisture and additional air (oxygen). Mois-
ture and air cause the development of varnish and
gum, making the fuel stale. Stored gasoline and gaso-
line/oil mixture ages and loses its octane rating and
volatility. Do not mix more gasoline/oil than you in-
tend to use in 30 days, and 60 days when fuel stabi-
lizer is added. RedMax Air-Cooled "Max Life" Syn-
thetic blend Premium two-stroke engine oil
"Con-
tains fuel stabilizer" and will automatically extend
your gasoline/oil mixture life up to 60 days.
■ HOW TO MIX FUEL
RECOMMENDED MIXING RATIO
GASOLINE 50 : OIL 1
(when using RedMax Air-Cooled "Max Life")
WARNING
• Pay attention to agitation.
1. Measure out the quantities of gasoline and oil to be
mixed.
2. Put some of the gasoline into a clean, approved fuel
container.
3. Pour in all of the oil and agitate well for 10seconds.
4. Pour in the rest of gasoline and agitate again for at least
one minute. As some oils may be difficult to agitate de-
pending on oil ingredients, sufficient agitation is neces-
sary. Be careful that, if the agitation is insufficient, there is
an increased danger of early piston seizure due to abnor-
mally lean mixture.
5. Place a clear indication on the outside of the container to
avoid mixing up with gasoline or other containers that dont
contain oil.
6. Indicate the contents on outside of container for easy iden-
tification.
■ FUELING THE UNIT
1. Untwist and remove the fuel cap. Rest the cap on a
clean surface.
2. Put fuel into the fuel tank to 80% of the full capacity.
3. Fasten the fuel cap securely and wipe up any fuel
spillage around the unit.
WARNING
1. Select flat and bare ground for fueling.
2. Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from the
fueling point before starting the engine.
3. Stop the engine before refueling the unit. At that
time, be sure to sufficiently agitate the mixed
gasoline in the container.
■ FOR YOUR ENGINE LIFE, AVOID
1. FUEL WITH NO OIL (RAW GASOLINE) – It will cause
severe damage to the internal engine parts very quickly.
2. GASOHOL – It can cause deterioration of rubber and/
or plastic parts and disruption of engine lubrication.
3. OIL FOR 4-CYCLE ENGINE USE – It can cause spark
plug fouling, exhaust port blocking, or piston ring sei-
zure.
4. Mixed fuels which have been left unused for a pe-
riod of one month or more may clog the carburetor
and result in the engine failing to operate properly.
5. In the case of storing the product for a long period of
time, clean the fuel tank after rendering it empty. Next,
Start the engine and run the carburetor dry residual
fuel.
6. In the case of scrapping the used mixed oil container,
scrap it only at an authorized depository site.
NOTE
• As for details of quality assurance, read the descrip-
tion in the section Limited Warranty carefully. More-
over, normal wear and change in product with no
functional influence are not covered by the warranty.
Also, be careful that, if the usage in the instruction
manual is not observed as to the mixed gasoline,
type of oil or fuel to be used. described therein, it
may not be covered by the warranty.
CHAIN OIL
• Use motor oil SAE #10W-30 all year round or SAE
#30 ~ #40 in summer and SAE #20 in winter.
NOTE
• Do not use wasted or regenerated oil that can cause dam-
age to the oil pump.
