vapors or carbon monoxide build up could
be present.
D Restrict unit to users who understand and
will follow all warnings and safety rules in
this manual.
WARNING: Inspect area before start-
ing unit. Remove all debris and hard objects
such as rocks, glass, wire, etc. that can rico-

hurt people or animals, break glass, or
cause other damage.
D Never run unit without the proper equip-
ment attached. When using your unit as a
blower, always install blower tubes.
HANDLE FUEL WITH CAUTION, IT IS
HIGHLY FLAMMABLE
D Check air intake opening and blower tubes
frequently, always with engine stopped and
spark plug disconnected. Keep vents and
discharge tubes free of debris which can
accumulate and restrict proper air flow.
D Never place any object in the air intake open-
ing as this could restrict proper air flow and
cause damage to the unit.

fore installing or removing attachments. Do
not operate without guard(s) in place.
S Operate power equipment only at reasonable
hours--not early in the morning or late at night

times listed in local ordinances. Usual recom-
mendations are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,
Monday though Saturday.
OPERATING POSITION
Eye
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.
OTHER
S Do not store gasoline from one season to
another.
S Replace your gasoline can if it starts to rust.
