OPERATING TIPS

• Whi_e vacuuming or blowing debris, hold

the unit with the muffler side facing away

from your body and clothes (see OPERAT-

ING POSITION illustration above).

• To reduce the risk of hearing loss

associated with sound level(s), hearing

protection is required.

• 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.

• Operate power equipment only at reasonable

beurs-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.

• To reduce noise levels, limit the number of

pieces of equipment used at any one time.

-7-

• To reduce noise _eveis, operate power

blowers at the lowest possible throttle

speed to do the job

• Use rakes and brooms to loosen debds be-

fore blowing.

• In dusty conditions, slightly dampen sur-

faces or use a mister attachment when wa-

ter is available.

• 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.

• Watch out for children, pets, open windows,

or freshly washed cars. Blow debris away

safely.

• Use the full blower nozzle extension so the

air stream can work close to the ground.

• After using blowers and other equipment,

CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris in trash re-

ceptacles.

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.

FUELING ENGINE

Ai_WARNING: Remove fuet cap s_owly

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 designed to be mixed at a

ratio of 40:1. Poulan PRO brand synthetic oil is

recommended. Mix gasefine and oil at a refJo of

40:1. A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 32

ounces (95 ml) of oil with 1 gallon (4 liters) of

unleaded gasoline. 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 feflow the safety rules relating to fuel

before fueling your unit.

IMPORTANT

Experience indicates that a_cohol blended

fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or

methanef) can attract moisture which leads to

separation and formation of acids during

storage. Acidic gas can damage the fue{

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, startthe engine and let it run until the

fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh

fuel next season. Never use engine or

carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or

permanent damage may occur.
