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 instead of hoses for many lawn and garden applications, including areassuch as gutters, screens, patios, grills, porches, and gardens.
S
Watchoutforchildren, pets, open windows, or freshly washed cars. Blow debris away safely.

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 rules under HANDLE FUEL WITH 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.
