a continual and regular basis must monitor
closely their physical condition and the condi-
tion of this tool.
SPECIAL NOTICE: This unit is equipped
with a temperature limiting muffler and spark
arresting screen which meets the require-
ments of California Codes 4442 and 4443. All
U.S. forest land and the states of California,
Idaho, Maine, Minnesota, New Jersey, Ore-
gon, and Washington require by law that
many internal combustion engines be
equipped witha spark arresting screen. If you
operatein alocalewhere such regulations ex-
ist, you are legally responsible for maintaining
the operating condition of these parts. Failure
to do so is a violation of the law. For normal
homeowner use, the muffler and spark arrest-
ing screen will not require any service. After
50 hours of use, we recommend that your
muffler be serviced or replaced by an autho-
rized service dealer.
WARNING: The engine exhaust from
this product contains chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer, birth de-
fects or other reproductive harm.
SAFETY NOTICE: Exposure to vibrations
through prolonged use of gasoline powered
hand tools could cause blood vessel or nerve
damage in the fingers, hands, and joints of
people prone to circulation disorders or ab-
normal swelling. Prolonged use in cold
weather has beenlinked to blood vessel dam-

PRIMER BULB
The ON/OFF SWITCH is used to stop the en-
gine. To stop the engine, move the switch to the
OFF position.
The PRIMER BULB removes air from the car-
buretor 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 position.
CHOKE
The CHOKE helps to supply fuel to the engine
to aid in cold starting. Activate the choke by
moving choke lever to the desired position. See

ing information.

mixing 3.2 fluid ounces (95 ml) of oil with 1 gallon
(4 liters) of unleaded gasoline). DO NOT USE
automotive oil or boat oil. These oils will cause
engine damage. When mixing fuel, follow
instructions printed on oil container. Once oil is
added to gasoline, shake container momentarily
to assure that the fuel is thoroughly mixed. Al-
ways read and follow the safety rules listed un-
der HANDLE FUEL WITH CAUTION.
WARNING: Muffler is very hot during
and after use. Do not touch the muffler or al-
low combustible material such as dry grass or
fuel to do so.
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
WARNING: Be sure to read the fuel
information in the safety rules before you be-
gin. If you do not understand the safety rules,
do not attempt to fuel your unit. Call
1-800-554-6723.
CAUTION: Never use straight gasoline in
your unit. This will cause permanent engine
damage and void the limited warranty.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
FUELING ENGINE
This engine requires the use of minimum 87
octane [R+M]/2 clean gasoline.
WARNING: Remove fuel cap slowly
IMPORTANT
when refueling.
Use of alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or
using ethanol or methanol) can cause major en-
gine performance and durability problems.
HELPFUL TIP
To obtain the correct oil mix
ratio, pour 3.2 ounces of
2-cycle synthetic oil into
one gallon of fresh gas.
WARNING: Alternative fuels (not gas-
oline) such as E--15 (15% alcohol), E--20 (20%
alcohol), E--85 (85% alcohol) are NOT classified
as gasoline and are NOT approved for use in
2--stroke gasoline engines. Use of alternative
fuels will cause problems such as: improper
clutch engagements, overheating, vapor lock,
power loss, lubrication deficiency, deterioration
of fuel lines, gaskets and internal carburetor
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 to be mixed at a ratio
of 40:1. Poulan/WEED EATER brand synthetic
oil is recommended. A 40:1 ratio is obtained by

components, etc. Alternative fuels cause high
moisture absorption into the fuel/oil mixture
leading to oil and fuel separation.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
It is recommended that the engine not be
operated for longer than 30 seconds at full

and the engine is started. Wear your protec-
tive equipment and observe all safety instruc-
tions.

beled IMPORTANT regarding the use of ga-
sohol in your engine. Fuel stabilizer is an ac-
ceptable alternative in minimizing the formation
of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add stabi-
lizer to gasoline in fuel tank or fuel storage con-
tainer. Follow the mix instructions found on sta-
bilizer container. Run engine at least 5 minutes
after adding stabilizer.
Prepare unit for storage at end of season or if
it will not be used for 30 days or more.

S Store in a clean dry area.
S Clean all parts and check for damage.
Have damaged parts repaired or replaced
by an authorized service dealer.
S Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight.
S Lightly oil external metal surfaces, includ-
ing the blade.
HELPFUL TIP
During storage of your gas/
oil mixture, the oil will sepa-
rate from the gas.
S Install the blade cover.
To oil the blade, do the following:
S Stop the engine and allow blade to come to
a complete stop.
We recommend that you
shake the gas can weekly
to insure proper blending of
the gas and oil.
