Gasoline must be mixed with a good quality 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil designed to be mixed at a ratio of 40:1. Poulan/Weed Eater brand oil is recommended. (A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 3.2 ounces of oil with 1 gallon of unleaded gasoline). When mixing fuel follow the instructions printed on the container. Always read and follow the safety rules under FUEL SAFETY. Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Poulan/Weed Eater brand oil is already blended with fuel stabilizer. - -- PrimerBulbPrimerBulb Eye Protection STOPPING YOUR ENGINE 3 D Move the throttle lever to the STOP position.
