FUELING
ENGINE
_ILWARNING:
Remove fuel cap
slowly when refueling.
This engine is certified to operate on un-
leaded gasoline. Before operation, gaso-
line must be mixed with a good quality
synthetic 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil.
We recommend Craftsman brand syn-
thetic oil. Mix gasoline and oil at a ratio
of 40:1. A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mix-
ing 3.2 fluid ounces of oil with 1 gallon of
unleaded gasoline. Included with this
blower is a 3.2 ounce container of oil.
Pour the entire contents of this container
into 1 gallon of gasoline to achieve the
proper fuel mixture. DO NOT USE auto-
motive oil or boat oil. These oils will
cause engine damage. When mixing
fuel, follow instructions printed on con-
tainer. 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.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
This engine requires the use of
minimum
87 octane [R+M]/2 clean
gasoline.
IMPORTANT
Use of alcohol blended fuels (called
gasohol or using ethanol or methanol)
can cause major engine performance
and durability problems.
WARNING:
Alternative fuels (not
gasoline) such as E-15 (15% alcohol),
E-20 (20% alcohol), E-85 (85% alcohol)
are NOT classified as gasoline and are
NOT approved for use in 2-stroke
gaso-
line engines. Use of alternative fuels will
cause problems such as: improper
clutch engagements,
overheating,
vapor
lock, power loss, lubrication deficiency,
deterioration of fuel lines, gaskets and
internal carburetor components,
etc. Al-
ternative fuels cause high moisture ab-
sorption into the fuel/oil mixture leading
to oil and fuel separation.
HOW TO STOP YOUR ENGINE
° Release the throttle trigger.
• Push and hold the STOP switch in
the STOP position until the engine
