8.2.3 Recommended fuels
Some conventional gasolines are being blended with oxygenates such as alcohol or an ether
compound to meet clean air standards. The engine is designed to operate satisfactorily on any
gasoline intended for automotive use including oxygenated gasolines.
8.2.4 Chain and bar lubrication
Always refill the chain oil tank each time the fuel tank is refilled. We recommend using our
replacement chain & bar. Always use good quality sprocket oil, which contains additives to
reduce friction and wear and to assist in the prevention of pitch formation on the bar and chain
