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.

Air Filter
Cleaning the air filter:
A dirty air filter decreases engine perform­ance and increases fuel consumption and harmful emissions. Always clean or replace air filter after every 5 hours of operation or yearly, whichever comes first.
1. Clean the cover and the area around it to keepdebris from falling into thecarburetor chamber when the cover is removed.
2. Remove parts as illustrated.
Do not cleanfilterin gaso line or other
NOTE:
flammable solvent. Doing so can create a fire hazard or produce harmful evaporative emis­sions.
3. Wash the filter in soap and water.
4. Allow filter to dry.
5. Apply a few drops of oil to the filter; squeeze filter to distribute oil.
6. Replace parts.
REPLACE SPARK PLUG
Replace spark plug each year to ensure the engine starts easier and runs better. Set sparkplug gap at 0.025inch. Ignitiontimingis fixed, nonadjustable.
