FILL ENGINE WITH OIL
NOTE: There is no oil in engine crankcase.

INSTALLING THE THROTTLE WIRE
1. If the throttle cable is not attached to the
engine carburetor, follow the instructions in
the engine operating manual. Some throttle
cables cannot be attached before shipping.
Check oil level of engine every time edger-
trimmer is used. An improper oil level can cause
extensive internal damage to engine.
FUEL SPECIFICATION
1. Follow fueling instruction in the engine
manual.
Handle fuel with care — it is highly flammable.
Use only approved fuel container. Never add
fuel while engine is running. Fill fuel tank
outdoors, with extreme care. Never fill fuel
tank indoors. Replace gasoline cap securely
and wipe up all spilled fuel.
CAUTION
Always clean area around fuel cap before
removing it to prevent excessive amounts of dirt
from entering fuel system. Also insure that the
fuel storage container you are using is clean and
in good condition.
CORRECT ENGINE OPERATION
Before starting engine, become familiar with
all controls. Read this Operator's Manual
thoroughly. Always check engine oil level
before starting engine.
CAUTION
Care should be taken to avoid inhaling ex-
haust gasses, as they contain carbon mon-
oxide gas, which is colorless and oderless.
Carbon monoxide is a dangerous gas that
can cause unconsciousness and is poten-
tially lethal. Do not run engine in confined
areas such as closed garages.
