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 momentarily to assure that the fuel is thoroughly mixed. Always read and fol- low the safety rules relating to f_el be- fore fueling your unit.

IMPORTANT

Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract mois- ture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel sys- tem of an engine while in storage.

To avoid engine problems, empty the fuel system before storage for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh

fuel next season, Never use engine or

carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur. Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alter- native in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage.

Craftsman brand oil is already blended with fuel stabilizer. See the STORAGE

section for additional information.
