• Move at least 10 ft. (3 m) from refueling location before starting the engine.

FUEL MIXTURE

This blower is powered by a 2-cycle engine; the operator is required to use premixed gasoline and 2-cycle lubricant. Prepare a mixture of unleaded gasoline and 2-cycle engine lubricant in a clean container approved for storing gasoline. Only prepare quantities that can be used up within a few days. DO NOT prepare quantities that will need to be stored for more than 30 days.

Recommended Fuel

This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline intended for automotive use. U.S. EPA regulations make it illegal to use gasoline containing higher than 10% ethanol content in outdoor power equipment like your LawnMaster ® power equipment and doing so can void your LawnMaster ® Limited Warranty.

If the proper precautions are taken, however, gasoline containing a 10% quantity of ethanol can safely be used in your LawnMaster ® products.
Much of the gasoline sold throughout the United States contains ethanol. The maximum ethanol content allowed by law for use in outdoor power equipment is limited to 10% (E10). Most small power equipment engines are designed to use no more than a 10% ethanol gasoline blend. If you are not sure of the ethanol content in the gasoline you are purchasing, ask the retailer. If they are unsure, purchase your fuel from another retailer that offers gasoline with no more than 10% ethanol.

NOTE: We recommend you use a high-quality synthetic 2-cycle lubricant in this product. Recommended specification: JASO-FC or above. Mix at 3.2 oz. per gallon (US). Do not use automotive lubricant or 2-cycle outboard lubricant.

Gasoline to Lubricant Mix - 40: 1 Ratio
	GASOLINE	LUBRICANT
	1.0 gal. (US) (3.8 liter)	3.2 oz. (95 ml)
	2.5 gal. (US) (9.5 liter)	8.0 oz. (236 ml)

Mixing Tips

• Always start by filling an approved fuel container with half of the required amount of gasoline.
• Then add the entire amount of 2-cycle lubricant. Close the container and shake to mix the lubricant with the gasoline.
• Add the remaining amount of gasoline, close the fuel container, and shake again.
• Ensure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the container before filling the fuel tank (Fig. 11).
  

FILLING THE FUEL TANK

NOTICE: Before each use, ALWAYS shake the fuel container thoroughly to ensure that the fuel is mixed completely.

• Place the tool on a flat, level surface, outdoors.
• Clean the area around the fuel tank and cap to prevent any contamination.
• Loosen the fuel tank cap by turning it counter clockwise and remove (Fig. 12).
  

• Carefully pour the fuel into the fuel tank, avoiding any spillage.
• DO NOT leave the fuel tank unsealed while it contains fuel. Replace the cap immediately after filling and inspecting the tank. Check that the cap is sealed tightly and wipe clean any spillage that may have occurred.

NOTICE: It is normal for smoke to be emitted from a new engine after first use.

The operation of this tool requires gasoline, an extremely flammable liquid. Always turn off the engine and allow it to cool completely before fueling. Never remove the fuel tank cap or add the fuel to the tool while it is running or the engine is still hot. Make sure to fuel the tool outdoors on a flat, level surface. After fueling, immediately replace the fuel tank cap and tighten it securely. DO NOT fill the fuel tank on the work site; fueling must occur at least 10 ft. from where the operator intends to start the engine. Keep the tool away from smoke, open flames and sparks! Failure to follow these instructions could result in an explosion, fire and cause serious personal injury.
