9 FUEL AND LUBRICATION
9.1 Fuel
Use regular grade unleaded petrol mixed with 40:1 custom 2-cycle engine oil for best results.
Use mixing ratios in Section FUEL MIXING TABLE below.
WARNING: Never use normal petrol in your unit. This will cause permanent
engine damage and void the manufacturer’s warranty for the product. Never
use a fuel mixture that has been stored for over 90 days.
WARNING: 2-cycle lubricant must be a premium grade oil for 2-cycle air cooled
engines mixed at a 40:1 ratio. Do not use any 2-cycle oil product with a
recommended mixing ratio of 100:1. If insufficient lubrication is the cause of
engine damage, it voids the manufacturer’s engine warranty.
9.2 Mixing fuel
Add oil to an approved fuel container followed by the petrol to allow incoming petrol to mix with
oil. Shake container to ensure thorough mix.
WARNING: Lack of lubrication voids engine warranty. Petrol and oil must be
mixed at 40:1.
