ON/OFF SWITCH

The ON/OFF switch is located on the trigger handle and is used to stop the engine. Move the switch to the OFF position to stop the engine.

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.

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 5 seconds, then fully squeeze the throttle trigger to deacti- vate the starting system (start lever returns to RUN position).

COUPLER

The COUPLER enables optional at- tachments to be installed on the unit.

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE

_WARNING:

Be sure to read

the fuel information in the safety rules before you begin. If you do not under- stand 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 en- gine oil. We recommend Craftsman

brand synthetic oil. Mix gasoline and oil at a ratio of 40:1. A 40:1 ratio is ob-

tained by mixing 3.2 ounces of oil with 1

gallon of unleaded gasoline. Included with this trimmer is a 3.2 ounce contain-

er 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 relat- ing to fuel before fueling your unit.

IMPORTANT

Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can at- tract moisture which leads to separa- tion and formation of acids during stor-
