SPECIAL NOTICE:
Exposure to vibrations through prolonged use of gasoline powered hand tools could cause blood vessel or
nerve damage in the fingers, hands, and
joints of people prone to circulation disorders
or abnormal swelling. Prolonged use in cold
weather has been linked to blood vesseldamage in otherwise healthy people. If symptoms
occur such as numbness, pain, loss of
strength, change in skin color or texture, or
loss of feeling in the fingers, hands, or joints,
discontinue the use of this tool and seek
medical attention. An antivibration system
does not guarantee the avoidance of these
problems. Users who operate power tools on
a continual and regular basis must monitor
closely their physical condition and the condition of this tool.
SPECIAL NOTICE:
This unit is equipped
with a temperature limiting muffler and spark
arresting screen which meets the requirements of California Codes 4442 and 4443. All
U.S. forest land and the states of California,
Idaho, Maine, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, and Washington require by law that
many internal combustion engines be
equipped with aspark arresting screen. If you
operate in a locale where suchregulations exist, you are legally responsible for maintaining
the operating condition of these parts. Failure
to do so is a violation of the law. Refer to the
MAINTENANCE section for information on
maintenance of the muffler and spark arresting screen.
ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
the impeller blades have stopped turning before opening the vacuum inlet door or attempting to insert or remove the vacuum or
blower tubes. The rotating blades can cause

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
WARNING:
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.
Be sure to read the fuel
FUELING ENGINE
Remove fuel cap slowly when refueling.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. Snappert/Weed Eater!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 of oil with 1 gallon 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
assurethat 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
systemofanengine while in storage. T oavoid
engine problems, empty the fuel system
before storage for 30days or longer. Drain the
gastank, startthe engine and let it run until the
fuel lines and carburetor are empty.Usefresh
fuel next season.Never use engine or
carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or
permanent damage may occur.
TO STOP THE ENGINE
To stop the engine, move the throttle lever
D
to the STOP position.
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
WARNING:
the tubes are secure before using the unit.
Fuel engine. Move at least 10 feet (3 me-
D
