STOP SWITCH
The STOP switch is used to stop the en-
gine. To stop the engine, push and re-
lease the engine 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
10-15 seconds, then fully
squeeze
the throttle trigger to deacti-
vate the starting system.
BEFORE STARTING
ENGINE
_WARNING:
Be sure to read
the fuel information
in the safety rules
before you begin. If you do not
understand
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
engine oil. We recommend
Craftsman <_brand synthetic
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.
Included
with this trimmer 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 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.
