STARTING POSITION Blower To obtain the correct oil mix ratio, pour 3. 2 ounces of 2- cycle synthetic oil into one gallon of fresh gas. This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline. Before operation, gasoline must be mixed with a good quality synthetic 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil designed to be mixed at a ratio of 40:1. A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 3. 2 fluid ounces (95 ml) of oil with 1 gallon (4 liters) of unleaded gasoline. Pour the entire contents of the 3. 2 ounce (95 ml) container of oil into 1 gallon (4 liters) of gasoline to achieve the proper fuel mixture. When mixing fuel follow the instructions printed on the 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 unit. This will cause permanent engine damage and void the limited warranty. HELPFUL TIP Vacuum WARNING: When starting engine, hold the unit as illustrated.
