The ON/OFF SWITCH is used to stop the en­gine. To stop engine, move switch to OFF.
CHOKE
The CHOKE helps to supply fuel to the engine to aid in cold starting. Activate the choke by moving choke lever to the desired position. See STARTING YOUR ENG INE for comple testart­ing information.
PRIMER BULB
The PRIMER BULB removes air from the car­buretor and fuel lines and fills them with fuel. This allows you to start the engine with fewer pulls on the starter rope. Activate the primer bulb by pressing it and allowing it to return to its original position.

Be sure to read the fuel
FUELING ENGINE
WARNING:
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. Poulan/Weed Eater brand synthetic oil is recommended. 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 oil 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 listed under HANDLE FUEL WITH CAUTION.
Remove fuel cap slowly

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 in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
