SInstall the blade over the threaded shaft ex- tending from the gearbox between the dust cup and the retaining washer. Make sure the raised part of the retaining washer is facing the gearbox, and the raised area fits into the

hole in the center of the blade.

S Slide the blade and retaining washer onto the shaft of the gearbox.

S Now place the cupped washer onto the shaft. Make sure the cupped side of the washer is toward the blade.

S Install the blade nut by threading onto the shaft counterclockwise.

S Tighten the blade nut firmly with a wrench while holding hex wrench in position.

SRemove the hex wrench.

S Turn blade by hand. If the blade binds against the shield, or appears to be uneven, the blade is not centered, and you must rein- stall.

NOTE: To remove blade, insert hex wrench into aligned holes. Un-thread nut and remove parts. Be sure to store parts and instructions for future use.

This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline. Gasoline must be mixed with a good quality 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil designed to be mixed at a ratio of 40:1. Poulan/Weed Eater brand oil is recommended. (A 40:1 ratio is ob- tained by mixing 3.2 ounces of oil with 1 gallon of unleaded gasoline). When mixing fuel follow the instructions printed on the container. Always read and follow the safety rules under FUEL SAFETY.
