Mixing Gasoline And Oil - Maruyama B23C Manuel Du Propriétaire

3. Always shut off the engine before refueling. Never
remove the fuel tank cap while the engine is running or
right after just stopping the engine.
4. Always open the fuel tank cap slowly to release
any possible overpressure inside the tank.
5. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Stop filling 1/4-1/2
inch (6 mm-13 mm) from the top of the tank.
6. Tighten the tank fuel cap carefully but firmly after
refilling.
7. Wipe up any spilled fuel before starting the engine.
8. Move the unit at least 10 feet (3 m) away from the
fueling location and fuel storage container before
starting the engine.
Recommended Oil Type
Only use a two-cycle engine oil formulated for use in
high performance, air cooled two cycle engines.
MARUYAMA brand 2-cycle oil is formulated for use
in high performance, air cooled two-cycle engines.
IMPORTANT: Do not use National Marine
Manufacturer's Association (NMMA) or BIA
certified oils. This type of 2-cycle engine oil
does not have the proper additives for air
cooled, 2-cycle engines and can cause engine
damage.
Do not use automotive motor oil. This type of
oil does not have the proper additives for air
cooled, 2-cycle engines and can cause engine
damage.
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.
Use Of Fuel Additives
IMPORTANT: NEVER USE ALCOHOL,
GASOHOL CONTAINING MORE THAN
10% ALCOHOL 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/ CONDITIO-
NER 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 ETHA-
NOL, METHANOL OR ISOPROPYL.
ADDITIVES SHOULD NOT BE USED TO TRY
TO ENHANCE THE POWER OR PERFOR-
MANCE OF MACHINE.

Mixing Gasoline And Oil

IMPORTANT: The engine used on this Trimmer
is of a 2-cycle 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, use Maruyama Premium 2-
cycle Oil Mix, or equivalent ISO-L-EGD & JASO
FD oil with a minimum 89 octane high Quality
gasoline. Maruyama 2-cycle oil is specially
formulated to meet the requirements of high-
performance, low-emission air-cooled 2-cycle
engines. Use of other oils may lead to service
issues which may Not be covered by your
warranty.
Fuel Mixture
The fuel: oil ratio is 50 parts gasoline to 1 part oil or 50:1.
Note: Never use a mixing ratio less than 50:1
regardless of the oil package mixing
instructions. Ratios less than 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.
