OPERATING TIPS
• To reduce the risk of hearing loss
associated with sound level(s),
hearing protection is required.
• To reduce the risk of injury
associated with contacting rotating
parts, stop the engine before instal-
ling or removing attachments. Do not
operate without guard(s) in place.
• Operate power equipment only at
reasonable hours-not early in the
morning or late at night when people
might be disturbed. Comply with
times listed in local ordinances. Usu-
al recommendations are 9:00 a.m. to
5:00 p.m., Monday though Saturday.
• To reduce noise levels, limit the
number of pieces of equipment
used at any one time.
• To reduce noise levels, operate
power blowers at the lowest pos-
sible throttle speed to do the job.
• Use rakes and brooms to loosen
debris before blowing.
• In dusty conditions, slightly damp-
en surfaces or use a mister attach-
ment when water is available.
• Conserve water by using power
blowers instead of hoses for many
lawn and garden applications, in-
cluding 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 exten-
sion so the air stream can work
close to the ground.

FUELING ENGINE
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 Craftsman 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 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.
