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 serious injury. Always disconnect the spark plug before performing maintenance or ac­cessing movable parts.

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
