recommendedprecautions:

•Always use the fresh fuel mix explained in your operator's manual

Using Fuel Additives

The bottle of 2-cycle oil that came with your unit contains a fuel additive which will help inhibit corrosion and minimize the formation of gum deposits. It is recommended that you use our 2-cycle oil with this unit. If unavailable, use a good 2-cycle oil de-signed for air-cooled engines along with a fuel additive, such as STA-BIL_ Gas Stabilizer or an equivalent, Add 0.8 oz, (23 ml,) of fuel additive per gallon of fuel according to the instructions on the container. NEVER add fuel additives directly to the unit'sfuel tank,

INCREDI-PULL TM starting system, which significantly reduces the effort required to start the engine. You must pull the starter rope out far enough to hear the engine attempt to start. There is no need to pull the rope briskly-- there is no

harsh resistance when pulling. Be aware that this starting method is vastly different from (and much easier than) what you may be used to.

--IE.. The engine does not start, go back to step 3,

NOTE: If the unit is hot and fails to start within 3 pulls of the starter rope, squeeze the throttle control and pull the starter rope until the unit starts.
