or otherwise cause injury or damage
during operation.
Use your unit as a blower for:
• Sweeping debris or grass clippings
from driveways, sidewalks, patios, etc.
• Blowing grass clippings, straw, or
leaves into piles, around joints, or be-
tween bricks.
Use your unit as a vacuum for:
• Picking up dry material such as
leaves, grass, small twigs, and bits of
paper.
• For best results during vacuum use,
operate your unit at high speed.
• Move slowly back and forth over the
material as you vacuum. Avoid forc-
ing the unit into a pile of debris as
this can clog the unit.
• Keep the vacuum tube about an inch
above the ground for best results.
PLAN AHEAD
• Always wear eye protection when op-
erating, servicing, or performing main-
tenance on unit. Wearing eye protec-
tion will help to prevent rocks or debris

THROTTLE LEVER
The THROqq-LE LEVER is used to select
the desired engine speed and to stop
the engine. Move the throttle lever to
the _ position for full speed opera-
tion. Move the throttle lever to the
position for idle speed. To stop
the engine, move the throttle lever to
the STOP position.
PRIMER BUTTON
The PRIMER BUqq-ONremoves air from
the carburetor and fuel lines and fills
them with fuel. This allows you to start
the engine with fewer pulls on the starter
rope. Activate primer button by pressing
it and allowing it to return to its original
position.
CHOKE LEVER
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 en-
gine starts, move choke lever to the
RUN position.
OPERATING TIPS
• While vacuuming or blowing debris,
hold the unit with the muffler side fac-
ing away from your body and clothes
(see OPERATING POSITION below).
• To reduce the risk of hearing loss
associated with sound level(s), hear-
ing protection is required.
• To reduce the risk of injury associated
with contacting rotating parts, stop the
engine before installing or removing
attachments. Do not operate without
guard(s) in place.
• Operate power equipment only at rea-
sonable hours-not early in the morn-
ing or late at night when people might
be disturbed. Comply with times listed
in local ordinances. Usual recommen-
dations are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,
Monday though Saturday.
• To reduce noise levels, limit the num-
ber of pieces of equipment used at
any one time.
• To reduce noise levels, operate pow-
er blowers at the lowest possible
throttle speed to do the job.
• Use rakes and brooms to loosen
debris before blowing.
• In dusty conditions, slightly dampen
surfaces or use a mister attachment
when water is available.
• Conserve water by using power blow-
ers instead of hoses for many lawn
and garden applications, including
areas such as gutters, screens, patios,
grills, porches, and gardens.
• Watch out for children, pets, open
windows, or freshly washed cars.
Blow debris away safely.
• Use the full blower nozzle extension
so the air stream can work close to
the ground.
• After using blowers and other equip-
ment, CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris
in trash receptacles.

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
1-800-235-5878.
FUELING ENGINE
_WARNING: Remove fuel cap
slowly when refueling.
This engine is certified to operate on un-
leaded gasoline. Before operation, gaso-
line must be mixed with a good quality
synthetic 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil.
We recommend Craftsman brand syn-
thetic oil. Mix gasoline and oil at a ratio
of 40:1. A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mix-
ing 3.2 ounces of oil with 1 gallon of un-
leaded gasoline, included with this
blower is a 3.2 ounce container of oil.
Pour the entire contents of this container
into 1 gallon of gasoline to achieve the
proper fuel mixture. DO NOT USE auto-
motive oil or boat oil. These oils will
cause engine damage. When mixing
fuel, follow instructions printed on con-
tainer. 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.

IMPORTANT
Experience indicates that alcohol
blended fuels (called gasohol or using
ethanol or methanol) can attract mois-
ture which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel sys-
tem 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
engine and let it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor are empty. Use fresh
fuel next season.
Never use engine or carburetor clean-
er products in the fuel tank or perma-
nent damage may occur.
Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alter-
native in minimizing the formation of
fuel gum deposits during storage.
Craftsman brand oil is already blended
with fuel stabilizer. See the STORAGE
section for additional information.
NOTE: Unit must be placed on its side
when adding fuel (see illustration below).
STOPPING YOUR ENGINE
