pieces of equipment used at any one time.
S
To reduce noise levels, operate power
blowers at the lowest possible throttle
speed to do the job.
-- 4 --
S
Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
S
In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces or use a mister attachment whenwater is available.
S
Conserve water by using power blowers

applications, including areassuch as gutters,
screens, patios, grills, porches, and gardens.
S
Watchoutforchildren, pets, open windows,
or freshly washed cars. Blow debris away
safely.
S

S
After using blowers and other equipment,
CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris in trash receptacles.
FUELING
WARNING:
when refueling.
This engine is certified to operate on
unleaded gasoline. 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. (A40:1 ratio is
obtained by mixing 3.2 ounces of oil with 1
gallon of unleaded gasoline). When mixing
fuel follow the instructions printed on the
container. Always read and follow the safety
rulesunderHANDLEFUELWITH
CAUTION.
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
systemofan engine while instorage. Toavoid
engine problems, empty the fuel system
before storage for 30daysor longer. Drainthe
gastank,starttheengine and let it rununtilthe
fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Usefresh
fuel next season.
