sufficient lubricating oll if you can see "some"
oll In the opening - the level should always be
brought up to the point of
top of the fill hole.

On 2-cycle engines, lubrication must be
provided by an exact mixture of gasoline
and 2-cycle alr-cocled engine cll. A 2-cycle
engine that Is mistakenly run on strelght
gasoline will be ruined In less than 5
mlnutasl If you keep straight gaanllne In
addlUon to pro-mixed 2-cycle engine fuel,
be sure the containers are clearly marked
to avoid mix-up.
