NOTE: Make sure all parts are in place as il-
lustrated, and the blade is sandwiched between

should be no space between the blade and the
dust cup or the retaining washer.
7. Align hole in dust cup with hole in side of
gearbox by rotating the blade.

holes. This will keep the shaft from turning
while tightening the blade nut.
9. Tighten blade nut firmly with wrench (pro-
vided) while holding screwdriver in position.

11. Turn blade by hand. If the blade binds
against the shield, or appears to be uneven,
the blade is not centered, and you must re-
install.
NOTE: To remove blade, insert screwdriver
into aligned holes. Unthread the nut and remove
parts. Be sure to store parts and instructions for
future use.

OPERATION
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. Contact an
authorized service dealer.
FUELING ENGINE
WARNING:
Remove fuel cap slowly
when refueling.
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded
petrol. Before operation, petrol must be mixed
with a good quality 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil.
We recommend McCulloch brand oil mixed at a
ratio of 40:1 (2.5%). A 40:1 ratio is obtained by
mixing 5 liters of unleaded petrol with 0,125 liter
of oil. DO NOT USE automotive oil or boat oil.
These oils will cause engine damage. When
mixing fuel, follow instructions printed on oil con-
tainer. Once oil is added to petrol, shake con-
tainer momentarily to assure that the fuel is thor-
oughly mixed. Always read and follow the safety
rules relating to fuel before fueling your unit.
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
petrol can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage. To avoid engine problems,
