CHOKE LEVER  
The THROTTLE LEVER is used to select the  
desired engine speed and to stop the engine.  
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 engine attempts to start, move the  
choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position.  
Once engine starts, move choke lever to the  
RUN position.

not operate without guard(s) in place.  
S Operate power equipment only at reasonable  
hours--not early in the morning or late at night  
when people might be disturbed. Comply with  
times listed in local ordinances. Usual recom-  
mendations are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,  
Monday though Saturday.

Protection  
S To reduce noise levels, limit the number of  
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.  
S Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris be-  
fore blowing.

S In dusty conditions, slightly dampen sur-  
faces or use a mister attachment when wa-  
ter is available.  
OPERATING TIPS  
S While blowing debris, hold the unit with the  
muffler side facing away from your body  
and clothes (see OPERATING POSITION  
illustration above).  
S To reduce the risk of hearing loss  
associated with sound level(s), hearing  
protection is required.  
S To reduce the risk of injury associated with  
contacting rotating parts, stop the engine be-  
S Conserve water by using power blowers  
instead of hoses for many lawn and garden  
applications, including areas such as gutters,  
screens, patios, grills, porches, and gardens.  
S Watch out for children, pets, open windows,  
or freshly washed cars. Blow debris away  
safely.

S Use the full blower nozzle extension so the  
air stream can work close to the ground.  
S After using blowers and other equipment,  
CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris in trash re-  
ceptacles.  
NOTE: Unit must be placed on its side when  
adding fuel (see illustration below).  
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.  
TO STOP THE ENGINE  
D To stop the engine, move the throttle lever  
to the STOP position.  
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE  
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 (95 ml) of oil with 1 gallon (4  
liters) 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.  
WARNING: You MUST make sure  
the tubes are secure before using the unit.  
D
Fuel engine. Move at least 10 feet (3 me-  
ters) away from the fueling site.  
Hold the unit in the starting position as  
shown. Make sure the blower end is di-  
rected away from people, animals, glass,  
and solid objects.  
D
STARTING POSITION  
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. Toavoid  
engine problems, empty the fuel system  
before storage for 30 days or longer. Drain the  
gas tank, start theengine 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.  
WARNING: When starting engine,  
hold the unit as illustrated. Do not set unit on any  
surface except a clean, hard area when starting  
engine or while engine is running. Debris such  
as gravel, sand, dust, grass, etc. could be  
picked up by the air intake and thrown out  
through the discharge opening, damaging the  
unit or property, or causing serious injury to by-  
standers or the operator.

start after following these  
instructions, please call

FUEL SYSTEM  
ENGINE  
Under FUELING ENGINE in the OPERA-  
TION section of this manual, see messagela-  
beled IMPORTANT regarding the use of ga-  
sohol in your engine.  
S Remove spark plug and pour 1 teaspoon of  
40:1, 2-cycle engine oil (air cooled) through  
the spark plug opening. Slowly pull the  
starter rope 8 to 10 times to distribute oil.  
S Replace spark plug with new one of recom-  
mended type and heat range.  
Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in  
minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits  
during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel  
tank or fuel storage container. Follow the mix  
instructions found on stabilizer container. Run  
engine at least 5 minutes after adding stabilizer.  
S Clean air filter.  
S Check entire unit for loose screws, nuts,  
and bolts. Replace any damaged, broken,  
or worn parts.  
S At the beginning of the next season, use  
only fresh fuel having the proper gasolineto  
oil ratio.  
HELPFUL TIP  
During storage of your gas/  
oil mixture, the oil will sepa-  
rate from the gas.  
We recommend that you  
shake the gas can weekly  
to insure proper blending of  
the gas and oil.
