and its vapors can explode if they are ignited.
Always stop the engine and allow it to cool
before filling the fuel tank. Do not smoke while
filling the tank. Keep sparks and open flames
away from the area.
Recommended
Oil Type
A 3.2 oz. (0.094 liter) bottle of Craftsman engine oil,
containing fuel stabilizer, is included with your product.
Craftsman brand oil is recommended for this outdoor
power tool. If another brand is used, make sure it is high
quality oil, formulated for 2-cycle, air-cooled engines.
A
DANGER:
Combustible mixture contains
petroleum distillate. Store away from heat or
open flame. Harmful or fatal if swallowed. If
swallowed, do not induce vomiting. CALL
PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
Avoid prolonged
contact with skin. Wash thoroughly after
handling. Do not reuse bottle.
Recommended
Fuel Type
Use clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline that is less than 60
days old.
OII and Fuel Mixing Instructions
Thoroughly mix the proper ratio of unleaded gasoline with
2-cycle engine oil in a separate fuel can, 40:1. Do not mix
them directly in the engine fuel tank.
Use 3.2 oz. (0.094 liter) of 2-cycle engine oil per one gal-
lon of unleaded gasoline to achieve a 40:1 fuel/oil ratio.
Use of Blended Fuels
If you choose to use a blended fuel or its use is unavoid-
able, the following precautions are recommended.
1. Always use fresh fuel mix.
2.
Use a special additive.
3.
Always agitate the fuel mix before fueling the unit.
4.
Drain the tank and run the engine dry before storing
the unit.
Use of Fuel Stabilizer
If using a brand of oil other than Craftsman, use of fuel
stabilizer will inhibit corrosion and minimize the formation
of gum deposit. Add 0.8 oz. (23 ml) per gallon of fuel per
instructions on container. NEVER add fuel stabilizer
directly to the unit's fuel tank. Using a fuel stabilizer can
keep fuel fresh for up to six (6) months.
A
CAUTION:
For proper engine operation and
maximum reliability, pay strict attention to the oil
and fuel mixing instructions on the 2-cycle oil
container. Use a 40:1 fuel/oil ratio. Use 2-cycle
oil. Using improperly mixed fuel can severely
damage the engine.
