Before Starting Engine:
Mixing Gasoline / 2-Cycle Oil
WARNING
Do not smoke or allow smoking near fuel or the Earth
Auger . Mix and pour fuel outdoors WHERE THERE ARE
NO SPARKS OR FLAMES .
The 2-cycle engine on your unit requires that gasoline
and 2-cycle engine oil be pre-mixed before adding to the
unit's fuel tank. To mix the gasoline/2-cycle oil:
1 . Use FRESH unleaded gasoline with an octane rating
of 87 or higher . Do not use gasoline containing more
than 10% ethanol . We recommend the continuous
use of a fuel additive/stabilizer to counteract the
effects fo ethanol . These additives also prolong the
shelf life of gasoline .
NOTICE
Use of gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol can
damage the engine .
2 . Always use 2-cycle oil that meets or exceeds
JASO – FC specifications and is intended for mixing
at a gasoline/oil ratio of 50:1 .
3 . Do not use automotive or 2-cycle marine outboard oil .
These will damage your unit's engine and void
the warranty .

4 . Always mix the gasoline and 2-cycle oil in a container
approved for gasoline . Never mix fuel directly in the
unit's fuel tank.
5 . 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 (3 .8 liters) of gasoline with 2 .6 ounces of oil
(77 ml) . After adding oil to gasoline, shake container
momentarily to ensure proper mixing .
6 . Mix only enough fuel for your immediate needs . Do
not store pre-mixed fuel .
7 . Stop engine and allow to cool before refueling .
8. To fill the unit's fuel tank with the gasoline/oil mixture,
place the Powerhead upright on the ground or on a
sturdy bench and wipe and any debris from around
the fuel cap .
9 . Remove fuel cap slowly and use a funnel to pour the
mixture into the tank, and replace the fuel cap .
