ON/STOP
SWITCH
The ON/STOP switch is located on the
trigger handle and is used to stop the
engine. To stop the engine, push and
release the engine ON/STOP switch.
PRIMER BULB
The PRIMER BULB removes air from
the carburetor
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.
START LEVER
The START LEVER helps to supply fuel
to the engine to aid in starting. Acti-
vate the starting system by moving the
start lever to the START position. DO
NOT squeeze
the throttle trigger until
the engine has started and runs. After
the engine starts, allow the engine to
warm-up
5 seconds,
then fully
squeeze
the throttle trigger to deacti-
vate the starting system (start lever
returns to RUN position).
COUPLER
The COUPLER enables optional
at-
tachments
to be installed on the unit.

ENGINE
_ILWARNING:
Be sureto
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
_ILWARNING:
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. Included
with this brushcutter is a 3.2 ounce con-
tainer 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 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
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 en-
gine 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 carbure-
tor are empty. Use fresh fuel next sea-
son. Never use engine or carburetor
cleaner products
in the fuel tank or
permanent
damage
may occur.
See the STORAGE section for addition-
al information.
