Operation

Before Starting Engine

Mixing Gasoline / 2-Cycle Oil

WARNING
Do not smoke or allow smoking near fuel or the Earth Auger. Mix and pour fuel outdoors WHERE THERE ARE NO SPARKS OR FLAMES.
The 2-cycle engine on your unit requires that gasoline and 2-cycle engine oil be pre-mixed before adding to the unit’s fuel tank. To mix the gasoline/2-cycle oil:

1. Use FRESH unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Do not use gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol. We recommend the continuous use of a fuel additive/stabilizer to counteract the effects fo ethanol. These additives also prolong the shelf life of gasoline.
   NOTICE
   Use of gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol can damage the engine.

2. Always use 2-cycle oil that meets or exceeds JASO – FC specifications and is intended for mixing at a gasoline/oil ratio of 50:1.

3. Do not use automotive or 2-cycle marine outboard oil These will damage your unit’s engine and void the warranty.

4. Always mix the gasoline and 2-cycle oil in a container approved for gasoline. Never mix fuel directly in the unit’s fuel tank.

5. Follow instructions on 2-cycle oil container for mixing fuel. Mix gasoline and 2-cycle oil at a ratio of 50:1. A mixture with a 50:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of gasoline with 2.6 ounces of oil (77 ml). After adding oil to gasoline, shake container momentarily to ensure proper mixing.

6. Mix only enough fuel for your immediate needs. Do not store pre-mixed fuel.

7. Stop engine and allow to cool before refueling

8. To fill the unit’s fuel tank with the gasoline/oil mixture, place the Powerhead upright on the ground or on a sturdy bench and wipe and any debris from around the fuel cap.

9. Remove fuel cap slowly and use a funnel to pour the mixture into the tank, and replace the fuel cap.

10. Avoid spilling fuel or oil. Wipe up all fuel spills.

11. Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from fueling site before starting engine.
