Fuel Mixing:
This is a 2-cycle engine and requires a specific fuel-to-oil mixture. Use unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87 and a high-quality 2-cycle engine oil. The recommended mixing ratio is 50:1 (50 parts gasoline to 1 part oil). Use the provided mixing bottle to ensure accurate proportions. Shake the mixture thoroughly before pouring into the fuel tank.

Starting Procedure:
- Fill the fuel tank with the correct 50:1 gasoline-oil mixture.
