OPERATING TIPS

S While vacuuming or blowing debris, hold the unit with the muffler side facing away from your body and clothes (see OPERAT- ING POSITION illustration above).

S To reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with sound level(s), hearing protection is required.

STo reduce the risk of injury associated with contacting rotating parts, stop the engine be- fore installing or removing attachments. Do not operate without guard(s) in place.

SOperate power equipment only at reasonable hours--not early in the morning or late at night when people might be disturbed. Comply with times listed in local ordinances. Usual recom- mendations are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,

Monday though Saturday.

STo reduce noise levels, limit the number of

pieces of equipment used at any one time. S To reduce noise levels, operate power blowers at the lowest possible throttle

speed to do the job.

SUse rakes and brooms to loosen debris be-

fore blowing.

S In dusty conditions, slightly dampen sur- faces or use a mister attachment when wa- ter is available.

S Conserve water by using power blowers instead of hoses for many lawn and garden applications, including areas such as gutters, screens, patios, grills, porches, and gardens.

SWatch out for children, pets, open windows,

or freshly washed cars. Blow debris away safely.

SUse the full blower nozzle extension so the air stream can work close to the ground.

SAfter using blowers and other equipment, CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris in trash re- ceptacles.

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE

WARNING: Be sure to read the fuel information in the safety rules before you be- gin. If you do not understand the safety rules, do not attempt to fuel your unit. Call 1-800-554-6723.

FUELING ENGINE

WARNING: Remove fuel cap slowly when refueling.

HELPFUL TIP

To obtain the correct oil mix ratio, pour 3.2 ounces of 2-cycle synthetic oil into one gallon of fresh gas.

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 designed to be mixed at a ratio of 40:1. Poulan PROR brand synthetic oil is recommended. Mix gasoline and oil at a ratio of 40:1. A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 3.2 ounces (95 ml) of oil with 1 gallon (4 liters) of unleaded gasoline. DO NOT USE automotive oil or boat 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.

IMPORTANT

Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system 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.

NOTE: Unit must be placed on its side when adding fuel (see illustration below).
