Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to accurately mix oil and gasoline using your Quick-2-Mix bottle:
- Determine Ratio and Gas Volume: Identify the desired oil-to-gas ratio (e.g., 32:1, 50:1) and the total volume of gasoline you intend to mix (in gallons or liters).
- Locate Corresponding Mark: On the bottle, find the column for your chosen ratio. Then, locate the mark corresponding to the amount of gas you will use.
- Fill Oil: Carefully pour the appropriate two-stroke oil into the Quick-2-Mix bottle until it reaches the determined mark. Ensure the bottle is on a level surface for accurate measurement.
- Pour into Gas: Once the oil is measured, pour the oil from the Quick-2-Mix bottle into your gasoline container.
- Mix Thoroughly: Securely close your gasoline container and gently shake or agitate it to ensure the oil and gas are thoroughly mixed.
Example: To mix 4 gallons of gas at a 32:1 ratio, fill oil to the 4.0 gallon mark under the "32:1" ratio column on the bottle.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and accuracy of your Maxima Quick-2-Mix bottle, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: After each use, especially when switching oil types or if the bottle becomes excessively oily, rinse the bottle thoroughly with a suitable solvent (e.g., gasoline or mineral spirits) followed by soap and water. Ensure all oil residue is removed to maintain clear visibility of the markings.
- Storage: Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the cap securely fastened to prevent dust and debris from entering.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the bottle for any cracks, damage, or fading of the measurement markings. Discontinue use if the markings are no longer clearly legible or if the bottle is compromised.
