1. Position the unit with the fuel cap facing up (Fig. 07, Pag. 05).
2. Remove the fuel cap.
3. Place the fuel container spout into the fill hole on the fuel tank and fill the tank. Do not overfill the tank.
4. Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled.
5. Reinstall the fuel cap.
6. Move the unit at least 10 m from the fuel container and the fueling site before starting the engine.
Gas
Always use good quality gas and do not store it for more than 30 days, since this can damage the engine operation. Let
the engine cool for at least two minutes before refilling with gas so as to avoid the possibility of an explosion. Never leave
gas in the tank. Use the lawn mower until the gas finishes in order to prevent it from accumulating in the carburetor.
!
Operate this unit only in a well-ventilated outdoor area. Carbon monoxide exhaust fumes can be lethal in a
confined area.
!
To avoid serious injury, the operator and the machine must be in a stable position during the match. To avoid
serious personal injury, make sure that the blower tubes are seated and locked.

2. Move the cruise control to the "SLOW" position (2) and do not squeeze the throttle control (3), (Fig. 09, Pag. 06).
3. Flip the choke lever (4) clockwise until it clicks (Fig. 08, Pag. 06).
4. Crouch in the starting position (Fig. 10, Pag. 06). Do not squeeze the throttle control (3), (Fig. 09, Pag. 06), and pull the
starter rope with a controlled and steady motion until the unit starts.

The engine is properly warmed up when it accelerates without hesitation. Once the engine is properly warmed, the cruise
control may be adjusted and the throttle control can be used normally. If the engine does not start, begin the starting
procedure with step 1. If the unit is hot and fails to start within 3 pulls of the starter rope, squeeze and hold the throttle
control or move the cruise control to the "FAST" position (5), (Fig. 09, Pag. 06). Then pull the starter rope with a controlled
and steady motion until the unit starts.
