KNOW YOUR UNIT

READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL AND SAFETY RULES BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT.

Compare the illustrations with your unit to familiarize yourself with the location of the various controls

and adjustments. Save this manual for future reference.

ON/OFF SWITCH

The ON/OFF switch is located on the trigger

handle and is used to stop the engine. Move the

switch to the OFF position to stop the engine.

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.

START LEVER

The START LEVER helps to supply fuel to the

engine to aid in starting. Activate the starting

system by moving the start lever to the START

position. DO NOT squeeze the throttle trigger

until the engine has started and runs. After the

engine starts, allow the engine to warm--up 5

seconds, then fully squeeze the throttle trigger

to deactivate the starting system.

COUPLER

The COUPLER enables optional attach-

ments to be installed on the unit.

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE

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. Call

1-800-554-6723.

FUELING ENGINE

WARNING:

Remove fuel cap slowly

when refueling.

HELPFUL TIP

To obtain the correct oil mix

ratio, pour 3.2 ounces of

2--cycle synthetic oil into

one gallon of fresh gas.

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. Poulan/Weed Eater

brand synthetic oil is recommended. Mix gaso-

line and oil at a ratio of 40:1. A 40:1 ratio is ob-

tained by mixing 3.2 ounces (95 ml) of oil with 1

gallon (4 liters) of unleaded gasoline. DO NOT

USE automotive oil or marine oil. These oils

will cause engine damage. When mixing fuel,

follow instructions printed on 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 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 en-

gine and let it run until the fuel lines and carbure-

tor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season. Nev-

er use engine or carburetor cleaner products in

the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

See the STORAGE section for additional in-

formation.

HOW TO STOP YOUR UNIT

S

To stop the engine, move the ON/OFF

switch to the OFF position.
