Fuel
○ Always use branded 89 octane unleaded
gasoline.
○ Use genuine two-cycle oil or use a mix between
25:1 to 50:1, please consult the oil bottle for the
ratio or Tanaka dealer.
○ Only for the state of California at 50:1.
○ If genuine oil is not available, use an anti-oxidant
added quality oil expressly labeled for air-cooled
2-cycle engine use (JASO FC GRADE OIL or ISO
EGC GRADE). Do not use BIA or TCW (2-stroke
water-cooling type) mixed oil.
○ Never use multi-grade oil (10W/30) or waste oil.

container.
Always start by fi lling half the amount of fuel, which
is to be used. Then add the whole amount of oil. Mix

of fuel.
Mix (shake) the fuel-mix thoroughly before fi lling the
fuel tank.
