OPERATION

WARNING:

Be sure to read the fuel

information in the safety rules before you be-

gin. If you do not understand the safety rules,

do not attempt to fuel your unit. Contact an

authorized service dealer.

FUELING ENGINE

WARNING:

Remove fuel cap slowly

when refueling.
This engine is certified to operate on un-

leaded 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 (2.5%). A 40:1 ratio is

obtained by mixing 5 liters of unleaded gaso-

line with 0,125 liter of oil. DO NOT USE auto-

motive oil or boat oil. These oils will cause en-

gine damage.

When mixing fuel, follow

instructions printed on oil container. Once oil

is added to gasoline, shake container mo-

mentarily 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 stor-

age. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system

of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine

problems, empty the fuel system before stor-

age 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.

HOW TO STOP YOUR UNIT

S

To stop the engine, move the ON/OFF

switch to the OFF position.

HOW TO START YOUR UNIT

WARNING:

The trimmer head will

turn while starting the engine. Avoid any con-

tact with the muffler. A hot muffler can cause

serious burns.
