2, FUEl. MIXTURE

Your tool is powered by a two-cycle engine which requires a fuel mixture of regular unlead- ed gasoiineand ahigh quality engine oil

specially made for 2-cycle, air cooled engines. The internal design of the 2-cycle engine requires lubrication of moving parts. Lubrication is provided when the recommended mixture of gasoline and oil is used.

•Genuine POULAN®/WEED EATER ® 2-cycle

Engine Oil is strongly recommended for the pro- tection of your unit. Extensive engineering tests have proven that Poulan®/Weed Eate_ oil resists break-downatoperating temperatures common to 2-cycle engines, resulting in dependable perfor- mance and longer engine life.

Gasoline must be clean and fresh. After a short period of time,gasoline willchemically break-downand form compounds that cause hardstarting and damage in 2-cycle engines_

•The correct measure of gasoline to oil is very important. Toomuch oil in the mixture will foul the spark plug.

,[CAUTION: ] Too iittle oil or incorrect oil will cause the engine to overheat and seize.

•Always mix the fuel thoroughly in a container sincegasolineand oildo not readilycombine.Donot mix gasoline and oil directlyin the fuel tank.
