RECOMMENDED FUEL TYPE

Use clean, fresh lead-free gasoline, including oxygenated or reformulated gasoline, with an octane rating of 85 or higher. To ensure freshness, purchase only the quantity of gasoline that can be used in 30 days. Use of lead-free gasoline results in fewer combustion chamber deposits and longer spark plug life. Use of premium grade fuel is not necessary or recommended.

CAUTION!

IMPORTANT: Never use methanol, gasoline containing methanol, gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol, premium gasoline, or white gas because engine fuel system damage could result.

Do not use fuel additives other than those manufactured for fuel stabilization during storage such as MARUYAMA's stabilizer/conditioner or a similar product.

MARUYAMA's stabilizer/conditioner is a petroleum distillate based conditioner/stabilizer.

MARUYAMA does not recommend stabilizers with an alcohol base such as ethanol, methanol or isopropyl. Additives should not be used to try to enhance the power or performance of machine.

FUEL: MIXING GASOLINE AND OIL

CAUTION! The engine used on this Backpack blower is of a 2-stroke design. The internal moving parts of the engine, i.e., crankshaft bearings, piston pin bearings and piston to cylinder wall contact surfaces, require oil mixed with the gasoline for lubrication. Failure to add oil to the gasoline or failure to mix oil with the gasoline at the appropriate ratio will cause major engine damage which will void your warranty. For your fuel premix, only use Maruyama 50:1 2-Stroke Oil or quality oil designed for 2-stroke air-cooled engine.

WARNING

Gasoline is extremely flammable and can be explosive under certain conditions.

Turn the engine switch OFF. Do not smoke. Make sure the area is well ventilated and free from any source of flame of sparks: this includes any appliance with a pilot light.

FUEL MIXTURE: When using genuine Maruyama 50:1 2-Stroke Oil, or a quality oil designed for 2- stroke air-cooled engines, oil ratio is 50 parts gasoline to 1 part oil or 50:1.

CAUTION! If Maruyama brand oil is not used, never use a mixing ratio less than 50:1 regardless of the oil package mixing instructions.

Ratios less the 50:1, (for example, 60:1, 80:1, 100:1), reduce the amount of lubrication to the internal moving parts of the engine and can cause damage.

Gasoline	50:1 two-stroke oil
1 gallon	2.6 oz.
2 gallons	5.1 oz.
5 gallons	12.8 oz.

1 liter	20mL
5 liters	100mL

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS: Always mix fuel and oil in a clean container approved for gasoline. Mark the container to identify it as fuel mix for the Backpack Blower. Use regular unleaded gasoline and fill the container with half the required amount of gasoline. Pour the correct amount of oil into the container then add the remaining amount of gasoline. Close the container tightly and shake it momentarily to evenly mix the oil and the gasoline before filling the fuel tank on the Backpack Blower.

When refilling the Backpack Blower fuel tank, clean around the fuel tank cap to prevent dirt and debris for entering the tank during cap removal. Always shake the premix fuel container momentarily before filling the fuel tank.

Always use a spout or funnel when fueling to reduce fuel spillage. Only fill the tank to within 1/2 inch from the top of the tank. Avoid filing to the top of the tank filler neck.

NOTE:

1. Never mix gasoline and oil directly in the Backpack Blower fuel tank.

CAUTION!

1. Do not use National Marine Manufacturer's Association (NMMA) or BIA certified oils. This type or 2-stroke engine oil does not have the proper additives for air-cooled, 2-stroke engines and can cause engine damage.
2. Do not use automotive motor oil. This type of oil does not have the proper additives for air-cooled, 2-stroke engines and can cause engine damage.

STORAGE

For long-term storage of the Backpack Blower, first perform all regular maintenance procedures and needed repairs. Empty the fuel tank. Disconnect the fuel supply line from the carburetor and depress the primer bulb until fuel stops discharging from the fuel-return line.

Start the engine and allow it to run until it stops. Pull the starter cord a few times to remove any excess fuel from the engine.

Remove the spark plug and insert a small amount of oil into the cylinder. Slowly pull the starter cord and bring the piston to a position closest to the spark plug hole. Re-install the spark plug. Apply a thin coating of oil to all the metal surfaces and store the Backpack Blower in a dry place.
