4-1. FUELING ENGINE
WARNING; Remove fuel cap slowly when
refueling.
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded
gasoline. Before operation, gasoline must be
mixed with a good quality syrtthetic 2-cycle
air-cooled engine oil designed to be mixed at a
ratio of 40;1, PoulanAA/EED EATER brand
synthetic oil is recommended, Mix gasoline and oil
at a ratio of 40:1. A40:1 ratio is obtained by
mixing 3,2 fluid ounces (95 ml) of oil with 1 gallon
(4 liters) of unleaded gasoline. DO NOT USE
automotive oil or marine oil. These oils will cause
engine damage. When mixing fuel, follow
instructions printed on container. 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,
CAUTION: Never use straight gasoline in your

This engine requires the use of minimum 87
octane [R+M]/2 clean gasoline,

Use of alcohol blended fuels {called gasohol or
using ethanol or methanol) can cause major
engine performance and durability problems.
WARNING: Alternative fuels (not gasoline) such
as E-15 (15% alcohol), E-20 (20% alcohol), E-85
(85% alcohol) are NOT classified as gasoline and
are NOT approved for use in 2-stroke gasoline
engines. Use of aiternative fuels will cause
problems such as: improper clutch engagements,
overheating, vapor lock, power loss, lubrication
deficiency, deterioration of fuel lines, gaskets and
internal carburetor components, etc. Alternative
fuels cause high moisture absorption into the
fuel/oil mixture leading to oil and fuel separation,
