3.3 Fuel and Chain Oil Preparation
The CS-271T operates on a gasoline/oil mixture and requires chain lubricant. Use fresh, high-quality unleaded gasoline mixed with a premium 2-stroke engine oil at the ratio specified by Echo (typically 50:1). Fill the fuel tank with the mixed fuel and the oil tank with high-quality bar and chain oil.

ОПРЕЗ: Never use straight gasoline or automotive oil in the fuel mixture. This will cause severe engine damage.
