SAFETY NOTICE: Exposure to vibrations
through prolonged use of gasoline powered
hand tools could cause blood vessel or nerve
damage in the fingers, hands, and joints of
people prone to circulation disorders or abnor-
mal swellings. Prolonged use in cold weather
has been linked to blood vessel damage in
otherwise healthy people. If symptoms occur
such as numbness, pain, loss of strength,
change in skin color or texture, or loss of feeling
in the fingers, hands, or joints, discontinue the
use of this tool and seek medical attention. An
anti--vibration system does not guarantee the
avoidance of these problems. Users who oper-
ate power tools on a continual and regular basis
must monitor closely their physical condition
and the condition of this tool.
SPECIAL NOTICE: This unit is equipped
with a temperature limiting muffler and spark ar-
resting screen which meets the requirements of
California Codes 4442 and 4443. All U.S. forest
land and the states of California, Idaho, Maine,
Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, and Washing-
ton require by law that many internal combus-
tion engines be equipped with a spark arresting
screen. If you operate in a locale where such
regulations exist, you are legally responsible for
maintaining the operating condition of these
parts. Failure to do so is a violation of the law.
For normal homeowner use, the muffler and
spark arresting screen will not require any ser-
vice. After 50 hours of use, we recommend that
your muffler be serviced or replaced by your au-
thorized service dealer.

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

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 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 ra-
tio of 40:1. A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 3.2
fluid 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 gaso-
line, shake container momentarily to assure that
the fuel is thoroughly mixed. Always read and
follow the safety rules relating to fuel before fuel-
ing your unit.
CAUTION: Never use straight gasoline in
your unit. This will cause permanent engine
damage and void the limited warranty.
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 en-
gine performance and durability problems.

10
WARNING: Alternative fuels (not gas-
oline) 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.
HOW TO STOP YOUR UNIT
SRelease the throttle trigger.
SPush and release the engine ON/STOP
switch. The switch will automatically return to
the ON position. Wait 5 seconds before at-
tempting to restart unit to allow switch to reset.
