SAFETY NOTICE: Exposure to vibrations

through prolonged use of gasoline powered

hand tools could cause blood vessel ornerve

damage in the fingers, hands, and joints of

people prone to circulation disorders or ab-

normal swellings. Prolonged use in cold

weather hasbeenlinked toblood vessel dam-

age 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 med-

ical attention. An anti--vibration system does

not guarantee the avoidance of these prob-

lems. Users who operate power tools on a

continual and regular basis must monitor

closely their physical condition and the condi-

tion of this tool.

SPECIAL NOTICE: This unit is equipped

with a temperature limiting muffler and spark

gon, and Washington require by law that

many internal combustion engines be

equipped with asparkarresting screen. Ifyou

operate in alocale where such regulations ex-

ist, youarelegally responsible formaintaining

the operating condition of these parts. Failure

to do so is a violation of the law. For normal

homeowner use, the mufflerand spark arrest-

ing screen will not require any service. After

50 hours of use, we recommend that your

muffler be serviced or replaced by an autho-

rized service dealer.

The PRIMER BULB removes airfrom 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.

CHOKE

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. Aftertheengineattemptsto start,move

the choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position.

Once engine hasstarted, movethe chokelever

COUPLER

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.

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. Snappert/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.

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 stor-

age. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system

of an engine while in storage.

Toavoid engine problems, empty the fuelsys-

tem 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 cleaner prod-

ucts in the fuel tank or permanent damage

may occur.

See the STORAGE section for additional in-

formation.

HOW TO STOP YOUR UNIT

STo stop the engine, move the ON/OFF
