FUEL MIXTURE (See Fig. 15)

• 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. 15).
  

FILLING THE FUEL TANK (See Fig. 16)

• To keep sound levels down, operate blowers at the lowest possible engine speed to do the job.
• Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris that may be packed down, before blowing.
• In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces when water is available.
• Conserve water by using blowers instead of hoses for many lawn and garden applications, including areas such as gutters, screens, patios, grills, porches, and gardens.
• Avoid blowing debris towards people, pets, open windows, or cars.
• Use the full blower nozzle extension when blowing.
• Clear and dispose of debris in trash bins or bags after using blowers and other equipment. Do not allow debris to settle on the street where it can wash down a drain.
• Make sure that the blower is in good condition before operation; check the muffler, air intake and air filter in particular.
• Do not touch the engine or the muffler when the engine is on and avoid contact after it has been used; wait until the surfaces cool down. Contact with hot surfaces could result in serious burns.
• Do not operate the blower in poor lighting.
• Do not place any objects inside the blower tubes. Make sure the tubes are clear before using.
• Never use the blower near fires, fireplaces, fire pits, hot ashes, outdoor cooking grills, etc., which may cause the fire to spread.
• Never place the blower on any surface, except a hard, clean surface when the engine is running. Gravel, sand, and other debris can be picked up by the air inlet and thrown at the operator or bystanders, causing possible serious injuries.
• Before fueling or storing the blower, stop the engine and allow it to cool completely.
• Only use replacement parts or accessories provided or listed in this Operator's Manual.
• This blower is not intended for extended use. Extended periods of operation can cause circulatory problems in the user's hands due to the vibration caused by the tool. Take regular breaks from operating the tool.

• The harness must always be worn when working with the blower, with both straps around the shoulders and secured at the chest. In case of emergency, release yourself from the blower by opening the chest belt and let the blower fall backwards.

BATTERY PACK

• The battery pack is only compatible with the YLS0042-T084045 charger.
• Charge the battery only with the charger specified by the manufacturer and listed in this manual. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
• Do not place battery powered tools or their batteries near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly injury.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery pack. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
• Do not dispose of battery packs in fire. They will explode or leak and cause injury. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not crush, drop or damage the battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged battery immediately.
• Batteries can explode in the presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery pack can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.
• Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery pack leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water, then neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention.
• When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper clips, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery pack terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
• Do not expose a battery pack to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 265°F (130°C) may cause an explosion.
• Do not modify or attempt to repair the battery pack (as applicable) except as indicated in the instructions for use and care.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside of the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
