NOTES Please look at the decal on your engine. Fill in the engine information in the spaces provided for future reference. B. Technician's Handbook If you have a general understanding of internal combustion engines and wish to repair and service your engine and/or engine emission control systems yourself, a Technician's Handbook is available from your Authorized TecumsehPower Servicing Dealer. See Figure 4. This handbook covers repairs and adjustments not covered within this Operator's Manual, and it is intended for individuals who have had adequate training, experience and who practice proper tool usage. Service procedures should be clearly understood and practiced when servicing TecumsehPower engines. • Order as part #692508 or #740047 for TV Models. TecumsehPower Company manufactures and is responsible only for the engine used on this power equipment. If repair or service is needed for anything other than the engine, contact the service source recommended by the equipment manufacturer. III. Oil and Fuel Specifications A. Oil To operate your engine you need to use a clean, high quality, 2-cycle oil mixed with fuel. For recommended mixture ratio of fuel and oil, see Table 1 for ice augers and Table 2 for all other applications. See "A. Mixing Fuel and Oil" instructions on page 4. Afterward, continue reading instructions below. NOTES Use of NMMA, TC-WII or TC-W3, JASO FB or JASO FC classified oil is recommended. Special-formulated oils are available at your Authorized TecumsehPower Servicing Dealer. B. Fuel Use unleaded regular, unleaded premium or reformulated automotive fuel only. You may use gasoline containing the components identified in Table 3. • DO NOT use leaded fuel. • Fuel must be fresh and clean.
