STOP SWITCH

The STOP switch is used to stop the en- gine. To stop the engine, push and re- lease the engine STOP switch.

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 the primer bulb by pressing it and allowing it to return to its original form.

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE

_WARNING:

Be sure to read

the fuel information in the safety rules before you begin. If you do not understand the safety rules, do not

attempt to fuel your unit. Call 1-800-235-5878.

FUELING ENGINE

_WARNING:

Remove fuel cap

slowly when refueling.

This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline. Before operation, gasoline must be mixed with a good quality synthetic 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil. We recommend

START LEVER

The START LEVER helps to supply fuel to the engine to aid in starting. Acti- vate 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.

Craftsman <_brand synthetic oil. Mix gasoline and oil at a ratio of 40:1. A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 3.2 ounces of oil with 1 gallon of unleaded

gasoline. Included with this trimmer is a 3.2 ounce container of oil. Pour the

entire contents of this container into 1

gallon of gasoline to achieve the

proper fuel mixture. DO NOT USE automotive oil or marine oil. These oils

will cause engine 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 follow the safety rules relating to fuel before fueling your unit.
