This engine is certified to operate on unleaded
petrol. Before operation, petrol must be mixed
with a good quality 2--cycle air--cooled engine oil
designed to be mixed at a ratio of 40:1. A 40:1
ratio is obtained by mixing 5 liters of unleaded
petrol with 0,125 liter of oil. DO NOT USE auto-
motive oil or marine oil. These oils will cause en-
gine damage. When mixing fuel, follow instruc-
tions printed on oil container. Once oil is added
to petrol, shake container momentarily to assure
that the fuel is thoroughly mixed. Always read
and follow the safety rules relating to fuel before
fueling your unit.
CAUTION: Never use straight petrol in your
unit. This will cause permanent engine damage.
