an equivalent, Add 0.8 oz, (23 ml,) of fuel additive per gallon of fuel

according to the instructions on the container. NEVER add fuel

additives directly to the unit's fuel tank,

I_llb CAUTION: For proper engine operation and maximum I

reliability, pay strict attention to the oil and fuel mixing I

instructions on the 2-cycle oil container. Using improperly

mixed fuel can severely damage the engine,

Thoroughly mix the proper ratio of 2-cycle engine oil with unleaded

gasoline in a separate fuel can, Use a 40:1 fuel/oil ratio. Do not mix

them directly in the engine fuel tank, See the table below for

specific gas and oil mixing

ratios,
