The CHOKE helps to supply fuel to the engine
to aid in cold starting. Activate the choke by
moving the choke lever to the FULL CHOKE
position. After engine attempts to start, move the
choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position.
Once engine starts, move choke lever to the
RUN position.

PRIMER BUTTON
The PRIMER BUTTON removes air from the
carburetor and fuel lines and fills them with fuel.
This allows you to start the engine with fewer
pulls on the starter rope. Activate primer button

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
designedtobemixed ata ratioof 40:1.Poulan
PROŽ brand synthetic oil is recommended.
Mix gasoline and oil at a ratio of 40:1. A 40:1
ratio is obtained by mixing 3.2 ounces (95 ml)
of oil with 1 gallon (4 liters) of unleaded
gasoline. DO NOT USE automotive oil or
boatoil. Theseoils will cause enginedamage.
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 readand
follow the safety rules relating to fuel before
fueling your unit.

IMPORTANT
OPERATING TIPS
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 gas can damage the fuel
system ofan enginewhile instorage. Toavoid
engine problems, empty the fuel system
beforestoragefor 30days or longer. Drainthe
gas tank,starttheengine andlet it rununtil the
fuel lines and carburetorareempty. Usefresh
fuel next season. Never use engine or
carburetorcleaner products in the fuel tank or
permanent damage may occur.
S While vacuuming or blowing debris, hold
the unit with the muffler side facing away
from your body and clothes (see OPERAT-
ING POSITION illustration above).
S To reduce the risk of hearing loss
associated with sound level(s), hearing
protection is required.
S 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.
S Operate power equipment only at reasonable
hours--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.
NOTE: Unit must be placed on its side when
adding fuel (see illustration below).
S To reduce noise levels, limit the number of
pieces of equipment used at any one time.
S To reduce noise levels, operate power
blowers at the lowest possible throttle
speed to do the job.
S Use rakes andbrooms to loosen debris be-
fore blowing.
S In dusty conditions, slightly dampen sur-
faces or use a mister attachment whenwa-
ter is available.
S 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.
S Watchoutfor children, pets, openwindows,
or freshly washed cars. Blow debris away
safely.
S Use the full blower nozzle extension so the
air stream can work close to the ground.
S After using blowers and other equipment,
CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris in trash re-
ceptacles.
TO STOP THE ENGINE
D To stop the engine, move the throttle lever

harmful emissions. Always clean or replace
air filter after every 5 hours of operation or
yearly, whichever comes first.
1. Clean the cover and the area around it to
keep debris from falling into the carburetor
chamber when the cover is removed.
2. Remove parts as illustrated.
NOTE: Donotclean filter in gasoline or other
flammable solvent. Doing so can create a fire
hazard or produce harmful evaporativeemis-
sions.
3. Wash the filter in soap and water.
4. Allow filter to dry.
1. Loosen and remove the 2 screws from the
muffler cover.
2. Remove the muffler cover.
3. Tighten the 2 muffler mounting screws se-

INSPECT MUFFLER AND SPARK
ARRESTING SCREEN
WARNING: The muffler on this prod-
uct contains chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer.
As the unit is used, carbon deposits build up
on the muffler and spark arresting screen,
and must be removed to avoid creating a fire
hazard or affecting engine performance.
5. Apply a few drops of oil to the filter;
squeeze filter to distribute oil.
6. Replace parts.
REPLACE SPARK PLUG
