manual abstract
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 receptacles. FUELING 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 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil. We recommend Poulan or Poulan Pro brand oil. Mix gasoline and oil at a ratio of 40:1 (A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 3.2 ounces of oil with 1 gallon of unleaded gasoline). Do not use automotive oil or boat oil. These oils will cause engine damage. When mixing fuel, follow the instructions printed on the container. Always read and follow safety rules under HANDLE FUEL WITH CAUTION in the safety rules section. 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. 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.
