BEFORE STARTING
ENGINE
_,WARNING:
Be sure to read
the fuel information
in the safety rules
before you begin. If you do not under-
stand the safety rules, do not attempt
to fuel your unit. Call 1-800-235-5878.
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
en-
gine oil. We recommend
Craftsman
brand synthetic
oil. Mix gasoline
and
oil at a ratio of 40:1. A 40:1 ratio is ob-
tained by mixing 3.2 ounces of oil with
1 gallon of unleaded
gasoline.
In-
cluded with this brushcutter
is a 3.2
ounce container of oil. Pour the entire
contents
of this container into 1 gallon
of gasoline
to achieve the proper fuel
mixture. DO NOT USE automotive
oil or
marine oil. These oils will cause en-
gine damage.
When mixing fuel, fol-
low 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
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.
Never use engine or carburetor
clean-
er products
in the fuel tank or perma-
nent damage may occur.
See the STORAGE section for addition-
al information.
