6. Fuel and Chain Oil

FUEL
WARNING
• Gasoline is very flammable. Avoid smoking or
bringing any flame or sparks near fuel. Make sure
to stop the engine and allow it cool before refuel-
ing the unit. Select outdoor bare ground for fuel-
ing and move at least 10 ft (3 m) away from the
fueling point before starting the engine.
■ GASOLINE REQUIREMENTS
• All 2-Stroke RedMax Products are powered by Zenoah
Professional-Commercial Duty, Hi-Performance, Hi-
RPM, Air Cooled 2-Stroke engines.
RedMax/Zenoah – Hi-Performance 2-stroke engines
produce higher HP outputs as compared to standard
Home Owner Duty or Light Commercial Duty produc-
tion engines offered by most manufacturers.
• Exhaust emission are controlled by the fundamental
e n g i n e p a r a m e t e r s a n d c o m p o n e n t s ( e q . ,
carburation, ignition timing and port timing) without
addition of any major hardware or the introduction of
an inert material during combustion.
• The RedMax/Zenoah Engines are registered and cer-
tified with CARB (California Air Resources Board) and
EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) to operate on
CLEAN Mid-grade 89 octane or Premium, unleaded
(lead-free) gasoline and RedMax Air-Cooled "Max
Life", Synthetic blend Premium two-stroke engine oil
mixed at 50:1 ratio.
• Unleaded gasoline is recommended to reduce the
contamination of the air for the sake of your health
and the environment.
• This Hi-Performance Air Cooled 2-stroke Engine re-
quires the use of Minimum 89 Octane
grade or Premium) clean gasoline.
Gasoline may contain maximum of 10% Ethanol (grain
alcohol) or up to 15% MTBE (Methyl tertiary-butyl
ether). Gasoline containing Methanol (Wood Alcohol)
is NOT approved.
NOTE
• IF octane rating of the Mid Grade gasoline in your
area is lower than 89 Octane use Premium Unleaded
Gasoline. The majority of all 2-stroke engine manu-
facturers in the USA and Canada recommend using
gasoline with 89 Octane or higher.
WARNING
• Gasoline with an octane rating lower than 89 will
greatly increase the engines operating temperature.
Low octane gasoline will cause detonation (knock)
resulting in piston seizures and major internal engine
components damage.
• Poor quality gasolines or oils may damage sealing
rings, fuel lines or fuel tank of the engine.
NOTE
• Failures caused by operating engines on gasoline
with octane rating lower than 89 are not covered by
the RedMax Two-Stroke engine warranty.
WARNING
• Alternative Fuels (Not Gasoline)
Alternative fuels, such as E-15 (15% ethanol), E-
20 (20% ethanol), E-85 (85% ethanol) are NOT clas-
sified as gasoline and are NOT approved for use
in RedMax 2-stroke gasoline engines. Use of al-
ternative fuels will cause major engine perfor-
mance and durability problems such as: improper
clutch engagements, overheating, vapor lock,
power loss, lubrication deficiency, deterioration
of fuel lines, gaskets and internal carburetor com-
ponents, etc... Alternative fuels cause high mois-
ture absorption into the fuel/oil mixture leading to
oil and fuel separation.
■ OIL REQUIREMENTS
• Use only RedMax "Max Life", Synthetic blend Pre-
mium Air- Cooled two-stroke engine oil or oil certified
to ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD1378) standard AND one that
is JASO-FD registered. RedMax Air-Cooled "Max
Life", Synthetic blend Premium two stroke engine oil
and ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD1378) AND JASO-FD oils are
fully compatible with gasoline's containing 10% Etha-
nol. RedMax Air-Cooled "Max Life", Synthetic blend
Premium two stroke engine oil and ISO-L-EGD (ISO/
CD1378) AND JASO-FD oils are Universal and
should be mixed at 50:1 ratio for all 2 stroke air cooled
engines sold in the past regardless of mixing ratios
specified in those manuals.
• If the oil is registered with JASO, the JASO Logo with
[R+M]
(Mid
2
FD and registration number will be displayed on the
container. The highest JASO rating is "FD", which
equals the ISO-L-EGD rating. Lower ratings are "FC",
"FB", and "FA".
