ON/STOP SWITCH

The ON/STOP switch is used to stop engine. To

stop the engine, push and release the engine

ON/STOP switch.

PRIMER BULB

The PRIMER BULB removes air from the car-

buretor 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 form.

CHOKE

The CHOKE helps to supply fuel to the engine

to aid in cold starting. Activate the choke by

moving the choke lever to the FULL CHOKE

position. After the engine attempts to start, move

the choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position.

Once engine has started, move the choke lever

to the OFF CHOKE position.

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE

WARNING:

Be sure to read the fuel

information in the safety rules before you

begin. If you do not understand the safety

rules, do not attempt to fuel your unit. Call

1-800-554-6723.

FUELING ENGINE

WARNING:

Remove fuel cap slowly

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. Mix gasoline and

oil at a ratio of 40:1. 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 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.
