OIL AND FUEL MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

Old and/or improperly mixed fuel are the main reasons for the unit not running properly. Be sure to use fresh, (less than 30 days old) clean unleaded fuel. Follow the instructions carefully for the proper fuel/oil mixture.

Definition of Blended Fuels

Today's fuels are often a blend of gasoline and oxygenates such as ethanol, methanol, or MTBE (ether). Alcohol-blended fuel absorbs water. As little as 1% water in the fuel can make fuel and oil separate and leads to formation of acids during storage. When using alcoholblended fuel, use fresh fuel.

Using Blended Fuels

If you choose to use a blended fuel, or its use is unavoidable, follow recommended precautions:

• Always use the fresh fuel mix explained in your opera-

tor's manual

• Always agitate the fuel mix before fueling the unit

• Drain the tank and run the engine dry before storing the

unit

Using Fuel Additives

The bottle of 2-cycle oil that came with your unit contains a fuel additive which will help inhibit corrosion and minimize the formation of gum deposits. It is recommended that you use our 2-cycle oil with this unit.

If unavailable, use a good 2-cycle oil designed for air-cooled engines along with a fuel additive, such as STA-BIL (23 ml.) of fuel additive per gallon of fuel accor instructions on the container. NEVER add fuel additives directly to the unit's fuel tank.

To Obtain Correct Fuel Mix:

Thoroughly mix the proper ratio of 2-cycle engine oil with unleaded gasoline in a separate fuel can. Use a 40:1 fuel/oil ratio. Do not mix them directly in the engine fuel tank. See the table below for specific gas and oil mixing ratios.

NOTE: One gallon (3.8 liters) of unleaded gasoline mixed

with one 3.2 oz. (95 ml.) bottle of 2-cycle oil makes a 40:1 fuel/oil ratio.

STARTING/STOPPING INSTRUCTIONSOIL AND FUEL INFORMATION

STARTING A COLD ENGINE (Above 55˚F)

Mix the bottle of 2-cycle oil (included) with 1 gallon of unleaded gasoline (less than 30 days old). Combine them in a separate container using a 40:1 ratio. Pour into fuel tank.

1. Move on/off ignition switch to the “RUN (I) ” position.

(Figure 1)

2. Your unit is designed with a 3 position choke: FULL CHOKE “ ”, PARTIAL CHOKE “ ”, and RUN “ ”. Move choke lever to FULL CHOKE “ ” position. (Figure 2)

3. Prime the carburetor. Pump the primer bulb (A) 10 times (Figure 3).

4. Set throttle advance by squeezing trigger and at the same time depressing throttle lock (B). (Figure 4)

5. With the unit on the ground, hold the front handle and step on the bottom of the frame with foot. Pull starter rope 6 times. (Figure 5)

NOTE: The unit uses the Spring AssistTMstarting system, which significantly reduces the effort required to start the engine. You must pull the starter rope out far enough to hear the engine attempt to start. There is no need to pull the rope briskly--there is no harsh resistance when pulling. Be aware that this starting method is vastly different from (and much easier than) what you may be used to.

Move choke lever to PARTIAL CHOKE “ ” position

then pull 1-6 times (Figure 6) Engine should start and warm up 30 seconds.

7. Move choke to RUN “ ” position then depress trigger. (Figure 7)

8. If engine fails to start, move choke lever to FULL CHOKE “ ” position. lever to PARTIAL CHOKE “ ” position and pull 1-6 times. Engine should start

NOTE: If engine fails to start after repeated attempts, refer to Troubleshooting section.

NOTE: Always pull star starter at an angle will cause rope to rub against the eyelet. This friction will cause the rope to fray and wear more quickly Never allow rope to snap back from extended position. This could cause rope to snag or fray and also damage the star

WARM ENGINE START

1. Move ignition switch to the “RUN (I)” position.

2. Place choke in PARTIAL CHOKE “ ” position (Figure

8).

3. Grasp throttle handle firmly, depress safety trigger, and squeeze throttle trigger to FULL position.

4. Pull starter rope briskly until engine starts, but no more than 6 times. Keep throttle at FULL position until engine runs smoothly. Move choke lever to “ ” position.

5. If engine does not start, place choke lever in RUN “ ” position and pull starter rope 5 more times. If engine still does not start it is probably flooded. Wait 5 minutes and repeat procedure with choke lever in RUN “ ” position and throttle full open.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

Emergency Stopping Procedure. When it is necessary

to stop engine immediately, DEPRESS the OFF “STOP

” switch until the engine stops completely (Figure 10).

Normal Stopping Method. For normal stopping, release trigger and allow engine to return to idle speed. Then DEPRESS the OFF “STOP ” switch until the engine stops completely. (Figure 10)

Fig. 10

IDLING/CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT

1. Occassionally, due to atmospheric conditions such as altitude it might be necessary to make slight adjustment to idle speed.

2. Insert phillips or flat screwdriver on screw (A) (figure 9). Turn 1/8 turn clockwise to increase idle speed and 1/8 turn counterclockwise to decrease idle speed.
