HOW TO USE YOUR BACKPACK AIR
BLOWER
GASOUNE AND OIL MIXTURE
Important! Do not use automotiveor boatoils in
yourair blower. These oilsdo nothave proper
additivesfor 2-cycle, air-cooled enginesand can
cause engine damage.
The 2.cycle engine onthis productrequiresa fuel
mixtureof regularunleaded gasolineand a highquality
2-cycleair-cooled engine oilfor lubricationofthe
bearingsand other movingpads.The correctfuel:oil
mixtureis 40-1 (see Fuel MixtureChad). Too littleoil
or the incorrectoil type will cause poorperformance
and may cause the engine to overheatand seize.
Gasoline and oil must be premixedina clean
approvedfuel container.Alwaysuse fresh regular
unleadedgasoline. This engine iscertifiedto operate
on unleaded'gasoline.

IMPORTANTI Alcoholblendedfuelscalledgasohol

whichleads to oil/gas separation andformationof
acidsduringstorage. Acidicgas can damage thefuel
systemof an engine while in storage.To avoidengine
problems,the fuel systemshouldbe emptied before
storageof 30 days or longer.Drainthe gastank, then
runthe fuel out of the carburetor andfuel linesby

2-CYCLE OIL
Craftsman2-cycle, air-cooledengine oilisspecially
blendedwithfuel stabilizers. If you do not usethis
Sears oil,you can add a fuel stabilizer,suchas
CraftsmanNo. 33500, toyourfuel mix.
FUEL STABILIZER
A fuel stabilizerisan acceptablealtamativein
minimizingthe formation of fuel gumdepositsduring
storage. Add stabilizerto gasolinemixtureinfuel

mix ratiofound onthe stabilizercontainer.Run engine
at least5 minutesafter adding stabilizertoallowthe
stabilizerto reach the carburetor.You donot haveto
drain the fuel tank for storage if youare usingfuel
stabilizer.
USING THE MULTI-FUNCTION HANDLE
_Themulti-functionhandlehas an on-off switch (Fig. 5,
A), a throttlelever (Fig. 5, B), and a speed lever (Fig.
5, C). It can be rotated to assure the operator's
•comfort.Once started,the speed lever can be set at a
desired RPM. This frees the operatorfrom holdingthe
throttlelever. If notset on maximumRPM and a
• greater RPM is required, simplysqueeze the throttle
lever. To returnto the lower RPM, release the throttle
lever. If the operator planson blowingat the maximum
RPM for a long periodoftime, the speed lever is
movedtothe =max"setting. Ifthe operator is only
blowingin shortburstsleave the speed lever at the
"min" settingand use the throttlelever to controlthe
speed.
