Weed Eater LE Serie Manual De Instrucciones página 5

• To reduce noise levels, limit the number of
pieces of equipment used at any one time.
• To reduce noise levels, operate power
blowers at the lowest possible throttle
speed to do the job.
• Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris be-
fore blowing.
• In dusty conditions, slightly dampen sur-
faces or use a mister attachment when wa-
ter is available.
• 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.
• Watch out for children, pets, open windows,
or freshly washed cars. Blow debris away
safely.
• Use the full blower nozzle extension so the
air stream can work close to the ground.
• After using blowers and other equipment,
CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris in trash re-
ceptacles.

hi, WARNING: Remove fuel cap slowly
when refueling.
This engine is certified to operate on
unleaded gasoline. Gasolh_e must be mixed
with a good quality synthetic 2-cycle
air-cooled engine oil designed to be mixed at
a ratio of 40:1. Poulan/Weed Eater brand
synthetic oil is recommended. (A 40:1 ratio is
obtained by mixing 3.2 ounces of oil with 1
gallon of unleaded gasoline). When mixing
fuel follow the instructions printed on the
contah_er. Always read and follow the safety
rules under HANDLE FUEL WITH
CAUTION.
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 gas can damage the fuel
system of an engine while in storage. To avoid
engine problems, empty the fuei system
before storage for 30 days or longer. Drain the
gas tank, start the engine and let it run until the
fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh
fuel next season.
