OIL AND FUEL INFORMATION
NOTE: Dispose of the old fuel/oil mix in accordance to
Federal, State and Local regulations.
OIL AND FUEL MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Old and/or improperly mixed fuel are the main reasons
for the unit not running properly. Be sure to use fresh,
clean unleaded fuel. Follow the instructions carefully for
the proper fuel/oil mixture.
Definition of Blended Fuels
Today's fuels are often a blend of gasoline and
oxygenates such as ethanol, methanol, or MTBE (ether).
Alcohol-blended fuel absorbs water. As little as 1%
water in the fuel can make fuel and oil separate. It forms
acids when stored. When using alcohol-blended fuel,
use fresh fuel (less than 60 days old).
Using Blended Fuels
If you choose to use a blended fuel, or its use is
unavoidable, follow recommended precautions:
Always use the fresh fuel mix explained in your
operator's manual
Always agitate the fuel mix before fueling the unit
Drain the tank and run the engine dry before storing
the unit
Using Fuel Additives
The bottle of 2-cycle oil that came with your unit
contains a fuel additive which will help inhibit corrosion
and minimize the formation of gum deposits. It is
recommended that you use our 2-cycle oil with this unit.
If unavailable, use a good 2-cycle oil designed for
air-cooled engines along with a fuel additive, such as
STA-BIL
®
Gas Stabilizer or 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.
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.
NOTE: One gallon (3.8 liters) of unleaded gasoline mixed
with one 3.2 oz. (95 ml.) bottle of
2-cycle oil makes a 40:1 fuel/oil ratio.

1 GALLON US
(3.8 LITERS)
3.2 FL. OZ.
(95 ml)
1 LITER 25 ml
+
MIXING RATIO - 40:1
Add fuel in a clean,
well ventilated
outdoor area. Wipe up any spilled fuel
immediately. Avoid creating a source of
ignition for spilt fuel. Do not start the engine
until fuel vapors dissipate.
WARNING:
Gasoline is
extremely
flammable. Ignited Vapors may explode.
Always stop the engine and allow it to cool
before filling the fuel tank. Do not smoke
while filling the tank. Keep sparks and open
flames at a distance from the area.
WARNING:
Remove fuel cap
slowly to avoid injury
from fuel spray. Never operate the unit
without the fuel cap securely in place
.
WARNING:
For proper engine
operation and
maximum reliability, pay strict attention to
the oil and fuel mixing instructions on the
2-cycle oil container. Using improperly mixed
fuel can severely damage the engine.

STORAGE
Never store a fueled unit where fumes may reach an
open flame or spark.
Allow the engine to cool before storing.
Store the unit locked up to prevent unauthorized use
or damage.
Store the unit in a dry, well-ventilated area.
Store the unit out of the reach of children.
LONG TERM STORAGE
If you plan on storing the unit for an extended time, use
the following storage procedure:
1. Drain all fuel from the fuel tank into a container with
the same 2-cycle fuel mixture. Do not use fuel that
has been stored for more than 60 days. Dispose of
the old fuel/oil mix in accordance to Federal, State
and Local regulations.
2. Start the engine and allow it to run until it stalls. This
ensures that all fuel has been drained from the
carburetor.
3. Allow the engine to cool. Remove the spark plug and
put 1 oz. (30 ml) of any high quality motor oil or
2-cycle oil into the cylinder. Pull the starter rope
slowly to distribute the oil. Reinstall the spark plug.
NOTE: Remove the spark plug and drain all of the oil
from the cylinder before attempting to start the
unit after storage.
4. Thoroughly clean the unit and inspect it for any loose
or damaged parts. Repair or replace damaged parts
and tighten loose screws, nuts or bolts. The unit is
ready for storage.
TRANSPORTING
Allow the engine to cool before transporting.
Drain fuel from unit.
Tighten fuel cap before transporting.
Secure the unit while transporting.
To avoid serious
personal injury,
always turn your unit off and allow it to cool
before you clean or service it.

California / EPA Emission Control Warranty Statement
Your Warranty Rights and Obligations
The California Air Resource Board, the Environmental Protection Agency and MTD LLC (MTD) are pleased to explain
the emission control system warranty on your 2000 and later small off-road engine. New small off-road engines must be
designed, built and equipped to meet stringent anti-smog standards. MTD must warrant the emission control system on
your small off-road engine for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper
maintenance of your small off-road engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel-injected system, the ignition system, and
catalytic converter. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors and other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, MTD will repair your small off-road engine at no cost to you including diagnosis,
parts and labor.
The 2000 and later small off-road engines are warranted for two years. If any emission-related part on your engine is
defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by MTD.
Owners Warranty Responsibilities
• As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your
operator’s manual. MTD recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your small off-road engine,
but MTD cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all
scheduled maintenance.
• As the small off-road engine owner, you however should be aware that MTD may deny you warranty coverage if your
small off-road engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
• You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine to a MTD Authorized Service Center as soon as a
problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should call 1-800-345-8746.
Manufacturer’s Warranty Coverage
• The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment is delivered to the retail purchaser.
• The manufacturer warrants to the initial owner and each subsequent purchaser, that the engine is free from defects in
material and workmanship which cause the failure of a warranted part for a period of two years.
• Repair or replacement of warranted part will be performed at no charge to the owner at an Authorized MTD Service
Center. For the nearest location please contact MTD at: 1-800-345-8746.
• Any warranted part which is not scheduled for replacement, as required maintenance or which is scheduled for only
for regular inspection to the effect of “Repair or Replace as Necessary” is warranted for the warranty period. Any
warranted part which is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance will be warranted for the period of time up
to the first scheduled replacement point for that part.
• The owner will not be charged for diagnostic labor which leads to the determination that a warranted part is defective,
if the diagnostic work is performed at an Authorized MTD Service Center.
• The manufacturer is liable for damages to other engine components caused by the failure of a warranted part still
under warranty.
• Failures caused by abuse, neglect or improper maintenance are not covered under warranty.
• The use of add-on or modified parts can be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim. The manufacturer is not liable to
cover failures of warranted parts caused by the use of add-on or modified parts.
• In order to file a claim, go to your nearest Authorized MTD Service Center. Warranty services or repairs will be
provided at all Authorized MTD Service Centers.
• Any manufacturer approved replacement part may be used in the performance of any warranty maintenance or repair
of emission related parts and will be provided without charge to the owner. Any replacement part that is equivalent in
performance or durability may be used in non-warranty maintenance or repair and will not reduce the warranty
obligations of the manufacturer
• The following components are included in the emission related warranty of the engine, air filter, carburetor, primer, fuel
lines, fuel pick up/ fuel filter, ignition module, spark plug and muffler.
