4 - FUEL AND LUBRICATION
4-1. 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. PoulanAA/EED 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 fluid ounces (95 mi) 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 oi! 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.
CAUTION: Never use straight gasoline in your
unit. This will cause permanent engine damage
and void the warranty.
4-2. FUEL REQUIREMENTS
This engine requires the use of minimum 87
octane [R+M]/2 clean gasoline.
IMPORTANT
Use of alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or
using ethanol or methanol) can cause major
engine performance and durability problems.
WARNING: Alternative fuels (not gasoline) such
as E-15 (15% alcohol), E-20 (20% alcohol), E-85
(85% alcohol) are NOT classified as gasoline and
are NOT approved for use in 2-stroke gasoline
engines. Use of alternative fuels will cause
problems such as: improper clutch engagements,
overheating, vapor lock, power loss, lubrication
deficiency, deterioration of fuel lines, gaskets and
internal carburetor components, etc. Alternative
fuels cause high moisture absorption into the
fuel/oil mixture leading to oil and fuel separation.

hours-not early in the morning or late at night
when people might be disturbed. Comply with
times listed in local ordinances.
8. To reduce sound levels, limit the number of
pieces of equipment used at any one time.
9. Operate power blowers at the lowest possible
throttle speed to do the job.
10. Check your equipment before operation,
especially the muffler, air intakes and air
filters.
11. Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before
blowing. In dusty conditions, slightly dampen
surfaces when water is available.
12. 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.
13. Watch out for children, pets, open windows or
freshly washed cars, and blow debris safely
away.
14. Use intermediate tube plus nozzle of your

always position yourself so that you can control
the direction debris will be blown .
4. The control handle and the flexibility of the
blower tube assembly will allow you to clear
the most hard-to-reach areas .
5. The hand grip, throttle trigger, throttle adjuster
and ignition on/stop switch are all mounted on
a swivel handle that offers a wide range of
operating positions and comfort (Fig. 6-2C).
