A. FUELING YOUR ENGINE

1.FUEL SAFETY

a.Useonly recommended fud mixtures.

b. Mix and pour fuel ouldoors and where there are

nosparksor flames.

c. Use a container approved for fud.

d. Do not smoke or allow smoking near fuelor the tool

or while using the tool.

e. Wipe up all furl spills before starting the engine_

f. Move at least 10 feet away from furling site

before starting engine.

g. Stop engine before-removing fuel calx Allow

the engine to cool before refueling.

h. Before storing toot; use up fad left in carbm_

lor by starting engiffe and letting 'it run until it

stops.

i. Store tool and fuel in an area where fuel vapors

cannot reach sparks or olden flames from water

heaters, eloctdc motors or switches, furnaces, etc.

• . FUEL MAXTIJRE

• Your tool is powered by a 2-cycle engine which

requires a furl _ of regular unleaded gaso-
line and a high qu_ity engine oil specially made
for 2-¢ycle_ air cooled engines.
The internal design oftbe 2-c-ycle engine requires
lubrication of moving parts. I__brication is provided
when the reoommended mixture ofgasol ine and oil

is used.

• Genuine Sears40:l, 2-cycle engine oil is str_
recommended for the protection,of your unit.
Exte_iveengineeiingtestshavepi_veathat Sears

-2-cycle erigine o'flresists brzak-downa_-operatlng

in d_le l_rforulanc_ and longer engine life.

• Gasoline must bedean and not over two months
old. Aftera short period of time, gasolin_willchem-
ically break down and form compounds thaf_ause

hard starting _ damage in 2-cycle engines.

s The correct measure of gasoline to Oil is very

important. Too much oil in the mixtu_ will foul the
spark plug.

ICAUrloN:] Too little oH or incorrect oil will
cause the engine to overheat and seize.

3. USE THE FOLLOWING ONLY:

SEARS CRAFTSMAN 2-cycle engine oil

mixed at 40:1 is stronglyrecommended. Con-
suit the in.structions on the oil container for

Rroper nnxmg.

1 PART OIL TO 40 PARTS GASOLINE=

3.2 ft. oz. oil to I gallon gasoline

8.0 ft. oz. off to 2.5 gallon gasoline

Not all air cooled 2-cycle engine oils ha_'e the
same qualities. If SEARS CRAFTSMAN 2-cycle

engine oil is not available, use a good quality,

2-cycle engine oil recommended for air-cooled
engines. Mix at a ratio of 40: I (3.2 oz. oil to i

gallon gasoline).

4.DO N0T USE:

" NMMA Oil-- National Ma'-ine Manufacturers

:<_ Do, nOi__Taixgasoline and oil directly in

the fuel tank.

a. Pour the proper measure of engine oil into an

approved, marked fuel containei'. Then, fill the
container with regular unleaded gasoline.

If fuel is already in the container, add the
proper measure of engine oil. Then, close the
container tightly and shake it momentarily.

b. Slowly remove fuel cap.
c. Using a spout or funnel, fill the. fuel tank with

fuel mix.
