/Weed

Eater

brand synthetic oil is recommended.

Mix gasoline and oil at a ratio of 40:1. A 40:1

ratio is obtained by mixing 3.2 ounces (95 ml)

of oil with 1 gallon (4 liters) of unleaded gaso-

line. DO NOT USE automotive oil or boat oil.

These oils will cause engine damage. When

mixing fuel, follow instructions printed oncon-

tainer. Once oil is added to gasoline, 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.

IMPORTANT

Experience indicates that alcohol blended

fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or

methanol) can attract moisture which leads to

separation and formation of acids during

storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel

system of an enginewhile instorage. To avoid

engine problems, empty the fuel system

beforestoragefor 30days or longer. Drainthe

gastank, starttheengine andlet it rununtil the
