OPERATING TIPS
S To reduce the risk of hearing loss
associated with sound level(s), hearing
protection is required.
S Operate power equipment only at reasonable
hours- -not early in the morning or late at night
when people might be disturbed. Comply with
times listed in local ordinances. Usual recommendations are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,
Monday though Saturday.
S To reduce noise levels, operate power
blowers at the lowest possible throttle
speed to do the job.
S To reduce noise levels, limit the number of
pieces of equipment used at any one time.
S Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris be-
fore blowing.
S In dusty conditions, slightly dampen sur-
faces when water is available.
S Conserve water by using power blowers
instead of hoses for many lawn and garden
applications, including areas such as gutters,
screens, patios, grills, porches, and gardens.
S Watch out for children, pets, open windows,
or freshly washed cars. Blow debris away
safely.
S Use the full blower tube extension so the air
stream can work close to the ground.
S After using blowers and other equipment,
CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris in trash receptacles.

CHOKE LEVER
The CHOKE helps to supply fuel to the engine
to aid in cold starting. The CHOKE OFF position is used for full speed operation. The 1/2
position is used for a brief initial warm-up period and to set the engine at idle speed.
FUELING ENGINE
WARNING: Remove fuel cap slowly
when refueling.
HELPFUL TIP
Toobtain the correct oil mix
ratio, pour 3.2 ounces of
2--cycle synthetic oil into
one gallon of fresh gas.
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 a ratio of 40:1. A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 3.2 ounces (95ml)of oil with 1
gallon (4 liters) 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 assure that 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 system
of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine
problems, empty the fuel system before storage for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank,
start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next
season. Never use engine or carburetor
cleaner products inthe fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.
TO STOP THE ENGINE
D To stop the engine, move the throttle lever
to the STOP position.
STARTING YOUR ENGINE
WARNING: You MUST make sure
the tube is secure before using the unit.
D Fuel engine. Move at least 10 feet (3 me-
ters) away from the fueling site.
D Hold the unit in the starting position as
shown. Make sure the blower end is directed away from people, animals, glass,
and solid objects.
