IMPORTANT
Pay attention to agitation.
1. Measure out the quantities of gasoline and oil to be mixed.
2. Put some of the gasoline into a clean, approved fuel
container.
3. Pour in all of the oil and agitate well.
4. Pour in the rest of gasoline and agitate again for at least one
minute. As some oils may be difficult to agitate depending on
oil ingredients, sufficient agitation is necessary for the engine
to last long. Note that, if the agitation is insufficient, there is
an increased danger of early piston seizing due to an
abnormally lean mixture.
5. Indicate the contents on outside of container for easy
identification to avoid mixing with raw gasoline or other
containers.
