THROTTLE LEVER

The throttle lever is used to select the desired engine speed and to stop the engine. To stop engine, move the throttle lever to the STOP position.

PRIMER BULB

The PRIMER BULB removes air from the car- buretor 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.

CHOKE LEVER

The CHOKE helps to supply fuel to the engine to aid in cold starting. The CHOKE OFF posi- tion is used for full speed operation. The 1/2 position is used for a brief initial warm-up peri- od and to set the engine at idle speed.

OPERATING TIPS

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

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.

S To reduce noise levels, operate power blowers at the lowest possible throttle speed to do the job.

STo reduce noise levels, limit the number of pieces of equipment used at any one time.

SUse rakes and brooms to loosen debris be-

fore blowing.

S In dusty conditions, slightly dampen sur- faces when water 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 tube 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 begin. 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 un- leaded 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/WEED EATER brand synthetic oil is recommended. Mix gaso- line and oil at a ratio of 40:1. A 40:1 ratio is ob- tained by mixing 3.2 fluid 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 momen- tarily to assure that the fuel is thoroughly mixed. Always read and follow the safety rules relating to fuel before fueling your unit.

CAUTION: Never use straight gasoline in your unit. This will cause permanent engine damage and void the limited warranty.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS

This engine requires the use of minimum 87 octane [R+M]/2 clean gasoline.

IMPORTANT

Use of alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can cause major en- gine performance and durability problems.

WARNING: Alternative fuels (not gasoline) such as E--15 (15% alcohol), E--20 (20% alcohol), E--85 (85% alcohol) are NOT classified as gasoline and are NOT approved for use in 2--stroke gasoline engines. Use of alternative fuels will cause problems such as: improper clutch engagements, overheating, vapor lock, power loss, lubrication deficiency, deterioration of fuel lines, gaskets and internal carburetor components, etc. Alternative fuels cause high moisture absorption into the fuel/oil mixture leading to oil and fuel separation.

TO STOP THE ENGINE

DTo stop the engine, move the throttle lever to the STOP position.

STARTING YOUR ENGINE

WARNING: You MUST make sure the tube is secure before using the unit.

DFuel engine. Move at least 10 feet (3 me-

ters) away from the fueling site.
