CHOKE LEVER  
The THROTTLE LEVER is used to select the  
desired engine speed and to stop the engine.  
The CHOKE helps to supply fuel to the engine  
to aid in cold starting. Activate the choke by  
moving the choke lever to the FULL CHOKE  
position. After engine attempts to start, move the  
choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position.  
Once engine starts, move choke lever to the  
RUN position.

engine, move the throttle lever to the STOP  
position.  
PRIMER BUTTON  
The PRIMER BUTTON 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 primer button  
by pressing it and allowing it to return to its origi-  
nal position.

OPERATING POSITION  
HELPFUL TIP  
To obtain the correct oil mix  
ratio, pour 3.2 ounces of  
2 -cycle synthetic oil into  
one gallon of fresh gas.  
ye  
otec
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  
designed tobe mixed at a ratio of 40:1. Poulan  
PROR brand synthetic oil is recommended.  
Mix gasoline and oil at a ratio of 40:1. A 40:1  
ratio is obtained by mixing 3.2 ounces (95 ml)  
of oil with 1 gallon (4 liters) of unleaded  
gasoline. DO NOT USE automotive oil or  
boat oil. Theseoils 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.  
Blower  
Vacuum  
OPERATING TIPS  
S While vacuuming or blowing debris, hold  
the unit with the muffler side facing away  
from your body and clothes (see OPERAT-  
ING POSITION illustration above).  
S To reduce the risk of hearing loss  
associated with sound level(s), hearing  
protection is required.  
IMPORTANT  
Experience indicates that 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 instorage. To avoid  
engine problems, empty the fuel system  
before storage for 30days or longer. Drainthe  
gas tank, start the engine andlet it run untilthe  
fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Usefresh  
fuel next season. Never use engine or  
carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or  
permanent damage may occur.  
S To reduce the risk of injury associated with  
contacting rotating parts, stop the engine be-  
fore installing or removing attachments. Do  
not operate without guard(s) in place.  
S 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. Usual recom-  
mendations are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,  
Monday though Saturday.  
S To reduce noise levels, limit the number of  
pieces of equipment used at any one time.  
S To reduce noise levels, operate power  
blowers at the lowest possible throttle  
speed to do the job.  
NOTE: Unit must be placed on its side when  
adding fuel (see illustration below).  
S Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris be-  
fore blowing.  
S In dusty conditions, slightly dampen sur-  
faces or use a mister attachment when wa-  
ter is available.  
S Conserve water by using power blowers  
instead of hoses for many lawn and garden  
applications, including areas such as gutters,  
screens, patios, grills, porches, and gardens.  
S Watchout for children, pets, openwindows,  
or freshly washed cars. Blow debris away  
safely.  
S Use the full blower nozzle extension so the  
air stream can work close to the ground.  
S After using blowers and other equipment,  
CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris in trash re-  
ceptacles.
