ON/STOP SWITCH
The On/Stop switch is located on the
engine and is used to stop the engine.
Push the switch to the stop position to
stop the unit.
PRIMER BULB
The primer bulb removes air from the
fuel lines and fills them with fuel. This
allows you to start the engine with few-
er pulls on the starter rope. Activate
the primer bulb by pressing it and al-
lowing it to return to its original form.
CHOKE
The choke helps to supply fuel to the
carburetor during starting. This allows
you to start a cold engine. Activate the
choke by moving the choke lever to
the Full position. After the engine has
started, move the choke to the Off
position.
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
_WARNING:
Be sure to read the
fuel information
in the safety
rules
before
you begin.
If you do not
understand
the safety
rules, do not
attempt
to fuel your unit. Call
1-800-235-5878.
FUELING
ENGINE
This engine
is certified
to operate
on
unleaded
gasoline.
Before
operation,
gasoline
must be mixed with a good
quality
2-cycle
air-cooled
engine
oil.
We recommend
Craftsman
brand oil.
Mix gasoline
and oil at a ratio of 40:1
(A 40:1 ratio is obtained
by mixing 3.2
ounces
of oil with 1 gallon of unleaded
gasoline).
DO NOT USE automotive
oil
or boat oil. These
oils will cause
engine
damage.
When
mixing fuel,
follow
instructions
printed
on container.
IMPORTANT
Experience
indicates
that alcohol
blended
fuels
(called
gasohol
or using
ethanol
or methanol)
can attract
mois-
ture which leads to separation
and
formation
of acids during storage.
Acidic
gas can damage
the fuel sys-
tem of an engine
while
in storage.
To avoid engine
problems,
empty
the
fuel 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.
Never use engine or carburetor clean-
er products in the fuel tank or perma-
nent damage may occur.
See the STORAGE section for addition-
al information.
