CAUTION[

Never use any type of gasoline con- taining more than 10% alcohol by vol- ume! Some types of gasoline contain alcohol as an oxygenate. Oxygenated gasoline may cause increased operat- ing temperatures. Under certain con- ditions, alcohol-based gasoline may also reduce the lubricating qualities of some 2-cycle mixing oils. Generic oils and some outboard oils may not be intended for use in high-performance engines, and should never be used in your Swisher engine.

CAUTION[

This engine is designed to operate on a 50:1 mixture consisting of unleaded gasoline and ISO-L-EGD or JASO FC class 2-cycle mixing oil only. Use of non-approved mixing oils can lead to excessive carbon deposits.

m Use only fresh, clean unleaded gasoline with a pump octane of 87 or higher.

m Mix all fuel with a 2-cycle aipcooled mix- ing oil that meets or exceeds ISO-L-EGD and/or JASO FC classified oils at 50:1 gasoline/oil ratio.

Examples of 50:1 mixing quantities

m1 gallon of gasoline to 2.6 oz. mixing oil m 5 liters of gasoline to 100 ml. mixing oil

Mix only enough fuel for your immediate needs! If fuel must be stored longer than 30 days and Swisher E4 Engine Oil with fuel stabilizer is not used, it should first be treated with a fuel stabilizer such as STA-BIL TM.

Swisher E4 Engine Oil is a registered JASO FC classified oil and also meets or exceeds

ISO-L-EGD performance requirements.

Swisher E4 engine oil is recommended for use in all Swisher low emissions engines and also includes a fuel stabilizer.

Filling the Fuel Tank

,_ WARNING!

Minimize the Risk of Fire

NEVER smoke or light fires near the engine.

ALWAYS stop the engine and allow

it to cool before refueling. Avoid over- filling and wipe off any fuel that may have spilled.

ALWAYS inspect the unit for fuel leaks before each use. During each refill, check that no fuel leaks from around the fuel cap and/or fuel tank.

If fuel leaks are evident, stop using the unit immediately. Fuel leaks must be repaired before using the unit.

ALWAYS move the unit at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from a fuel stor- age area or other readily flammable materials before starting the engine.

NEVER place flammable material close to the engine muffler.

NEVER operate the engine without the muffler and spark arrester screen in place.

1.Place the trimmer on a fiat, level surface.

2.Clear any dirt or other debris from around the fuel filler cap.

3.Remove the fuel cap, and fill the tank with clean, fresh fuel.

4.Reinstall the fuel filler cap and tighten firmly.
