OPERA TINGTIPS

While vacuuming or blowing debris, hold

the unit with the muffler side facing away from your body and clothes (see OPERATING POSITION illustration above). To reduce the risk of hearing loss

associated with sound level(s), hearing protection is required. T o reduce the risk of injury associated with

contacting rotating parts, stop the engine before insta lling or remov ing attachments. Do not operate without guard(s) in place. Operate power equipmentonly at reasonable

hours- -notearly inthe morning or late at night whenpeoplemight be disturbed. Comply with times listed in local ordinances. Usual recommendations are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday though Saturday. To reduce noise levels, limit the number of

pieces of equipment used at any one time. To reduce noise levels, operate power

blowers at the lowest possible throttle speed to do the job. Use rakes andbrooms toloosen debris be-

fore blowing. In dusty conditions, slightly dampen sur-

faces or use amister attachment whenwater is available. Conserve water by using power blowers

instead of hoses for many lawn and garden applications, including areas such as gutters, screens, patios,grills, porches,andgardens. Watchoutfor children,pets,openwindows,

or freshly washed cars. Blowdebris away safely. Use the full blower nozzle extension so the

air stream can work close to the ground. After using blowers and other equipment,

CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris in trash receptacles.

FUELING ENGINE

WARNING:

when refueling.

Remove fuel cap slowly

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. Poulan/Weed Eater brand synthetic oil is recommended. Mix gasoline and oil at aratio of40:1. A 40:1 ratio is obtainedby mixing3.2 ounces (95 ml) of oil with 1 gallon (4 liters) of unleaded gasoline. DO NOT USE automotiveoil orboatoil.Theseoils willcause engine damage. When mixing fuel, follow instructions printed on container. Once oil is added to gasoline, shake container momentarily to assure that the fuel is thoroughlymixed. Always readand follow the safetyrulesrelatingtofuel 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 systemofanenginewhileinstorage.Toavoid engine problems, empty the fuel system beforestoragefor 30days orlonger.Drainthe gastank,start theengineandlet itrununtilthe fuellines andcarburetorareempty.Usefresh fuel next season.
