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

PRIMER BULB

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 form.

START LEVER

The START LEVER helps to supply fuel to the

engine to aid in starting. Activate 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 deactivate the starting system.

COUPLER

The COUPLER enables optional attach-

ments to be installed on the unit.

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

FUELING ENGINE

WARNING:

Remove fuel cap slowly

when refueling.

HELPFUL TIP

To obtain the correct oil mix

ratio, pour 3.2 ounces of

2--cycle synthetic oil into

one gallon of fresh gas.

This engine is certified to operate on un-

leaded 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. A 40:1 ratio is ob-

tained by mixing 3.2 fluid ounces (95 ml) of oil

with 1 gallon (4 liters) of unleaded gasoline.

Pour the entire contents of the 3.2 ounce (95

ml) container of oil into 1 gallon (4 liters) of

gasoline to achieve the proper fuel mixture.

DO NOT USE automotive or marine oil.

These oils will cause engine damage. When

mixing fuel follow the instructions printed on

the 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.

CAUTION:

Never use straight gasoline in

your unit. This will cause permanent engine

damage and void the limited warranty.
