A
Before Starting the Engine
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

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.
3 . Remove fuel cap slowly and use a funnel to pour the
mixture into the tank, and replace the fuel cap .
