Craftsman 358.79477 manual Primer Bulb, Start Lever, Before Starting Engine

Page 9

PRIMER BULB

The PRIMER BULB removes air from the carburetor and fuel lines and fills

them with fuel. This allows you to start the engine with fewer pulls on the starter rope. Activate primer bulb by pressing it and allowing it to return to its original position.

START LEVER

The START LEVER helps to supply fuel to the engine to aid in starting. Activate the starting system by moving the start lever to the START position. DO NOT squeeze the throttle trigger until the engine has started and runs. After the engine starts, allow the engine to warm-up 10-15 seconds, then fully squeeze the throttle trigger to deacti- vate the starting system (start lever re- turns to RUN position).

OPERATING TIPS

•While vacuuming or blowing debris, hold the unit with the muffler side fac-

ing away from your body and clothes (see OPERATING POSITION below).

•To reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with sound level(s), hear-

ing protection is required.

•To reduce the risk of injury associated with contacting rotating parts, stop the engine before installing or removing attachments. Do not operate without guard(s) in place.

•Operate power equipment only at rea- sonable hours-not early in the morn- ing or late at night when people might be disturbed. Comply with times listed in local ordinances. Usual recommen-

dations are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday though Saturday.

•To reduce noise levels, limit the num- ber of pieces of equipment used at any one time.

•To reduce noise levels, operate pow-

er blowers at the lowest possible throttle speed to do the job.

•Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.

•In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces or use a mister attachment when water is available.

•Conserve water by using power blow- ers instead of hoses for many lawn and garden applications, including areas such as gutters, screens, patios, grills, porches, and gardens.

•Watch out for children, pets, open

windows, or freshly washed cars. Blow debris away safely.

•Use the full blower nozzle extension so the air stream can work close to

the ground.

•After using blowers and other equip- ment, CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris in trash receptacles.

FUELING ENGINE

_WARNING:

Remove fuel cap

slowly when refueling.

This engine is certified to operate on un- leaded gasoline. Before operation, gaso- line must be mixed with a good quality synthetic 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil. We recommend Craftsman brand syn- thetic oil. Mix gasoline and oil at a ratio of 40:1. A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mix- ing 3.2 ounces of oil with 1 gallon of un-

leaded gasoline. Included with this blow- er is a 3.2 ounce container of oil. Pour

the entire contents of this container into

1 gallon of gasoline to achieve the prop- er fuel mixture. DO NOT USE automotive

oil or boat oil. These oils will cause en- gine damage. When mixing fuel, follow instructions printed on container. Once oil is added to gasoline, shake container
