OPERATING
TIPS
_LWARNING:
While vacuuming
or
blowing debris, hold the unit with the
muffler side facing away from your
body and clothes (see OPERATING
POSITION).
• To reduce the risk of hearing
loss
associated
with sound level(s), hear-
ing protection is required.
• To reduce the risk of injury associated
with contacting rotating parts, stop the
engine before installing or removing
attachments.
Do not operate without
guard(s) in place.
• Operate power equipment only at rea-
sonable hours-not
early in the morn-
ing or late at night when people might
be disturbed. Comply with times listed
in local ordinances.
Usual recommen-
dations are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,
Monday though Saturday.
• To reduce noise levels, limit the num-
ber of pieces of equipment
used at
any one time.
• To reduce noise levels, operate pow-
er blowers at the lowest possible
throttle speed to do the job.
• Use rakes and brooms to loosen
debris before blowing.
• In dusty conditions,
slightly dampen
surfaces
or use a mister attachment
when water is available.
• Conserve water by using power blow-
ers 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 equip-
ment, CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris
in trash receptacles.

FUELING
ENGINE
_LWARNING:
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 mixing 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 en-
tire contents of this container into 1 gal-
lon of gasoline to achieve the proper fuel
mixture. DO NOT USE automotive oil or
boat oil. These oils will cause engine
damage. 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 read and fol-
low the safety rules relating to fuel be-
fore 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.
