OPERATING TIPS • While vacuuming or blowing debris, hold the unit with the muffler side fac- ing away from your body and clothes (see OPERATING POSITION below). • 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. -9-

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. OPERATING POSITION Blower Vacuum BEFORE STARTING ENGINE _IkWARNING: 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 _ILWARNING: 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 mix- ing 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 entire contents of this container into 1 gallon of gasoline to achieve the proper fuel mixture. DO NOT USE auto- motive oil or boat oil. These oils will cause engine damage. When mixing fuel, follow instructions printed on con- tainer. Once oil is added to gasoline, shake container momentarily to assure that the fuel is thoroughly mixed. Always read and follow the safety rules relating to fuel before 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. IMPORTANT Use of alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can cause major engine performance and durability problems. WARNING: Alternative fuels (not gasoline) such as E-15 (15% alcohol), E-20 (20% alcohol), E-85 (85% alcohol) are NOT classified as gasoline and are NOT approved for use in 2-stroke gaso- line engines. Use of alternative fuels will cause problems such as: improper clutch engagements, overheating, vapor lock, power loss, lubrication deficiency, deterioration of fuel lines, gaskets and internal carburetor components, etc. Al- ternative fuels cause high moisture ab- sorption into the fuel/oil mixture leading to oil and fuel separation. HOW TO STOP YOUR ENGINE ° Release the throttle trigger. • Push and hold the STOP switch in the STOP position until the engine stops. HOW TO START YOUR ENGINE _IL WARNING: You MUST make sure the tubes are secure before using the unit. ° Fuel engine. Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from the fueling site. ° Hold the unit in the starting position as shown. Make sure the blower end is directed away from people, ani- mals, glass, and solid objects. STARTING POSITION Blower / / / / -10-

hold the unit as illustrated. Do not set unit on any surface except a clean, hard area when starting engine or while en- gine is running. Debris such as gravel, sand, dust, grass, etc. could be picked up by the air intake and thrown out through the discharge opening, damag- ing the unit or property, or causing seri- ous injury to bystanders or the operator. STARTING A COLD ENGINE (or warm engine after running out of fuel) 1. Slowly press the primer bulb 6 times. 2. Move choke lever to the FULL CHOKE position. 3. Squeeze the throttle trigger fully and hold through all remaining steps. Starter Handle Choke Lever Primer _ Bulb 4, 5, 6. This unit has the Sim--pulTM starting system. You do not have to pull the starter rope handle sharply or briskly. Pull starter rope handle with a con- trolled and steady motion until en- gine sounds as if it is trying to start, but do not pull rope more than 6 times. As soon as engine sounds as if it is trying to start, move choke lever to HALF CHOKE position. Pull starter rope until engine runs, but no more than 6 pulls. NOTE: If the engine doesn't start after 6 pulls (at the HALF CHOKE position), move the choke lever to the FULL CHOKE position and press the primer bulb 6 times. Squeeze and hold the throttle trigger and pull the starter rope 2 more times. Move the choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position and pull the starter rope until the engine runs, but no more than 6 pulls. If the engine still doesn't start, it is probably flooded. Proceed to STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE. 7. Once the engine starts, allow it to run 10 seconds, then move the choke lever to the RUN position. Al- low the unit to run for 30 more se- conds at RUN before releasing the throttle trigger. NOTE: If engine dies with the choke lever in the RUN position, move the choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position and pull the rope until engine runs, but no more than 6 pulls. STARTING A WARM ENGINE 1. Move the choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position. 2. Squeeze the throttle trigger fully and hold through all remaining steps. 3. Pull starter rope with a controlled and steady motion until engine runs, but no more than 6 pulls. 4. Allow engine to run 15 seconds, then move the choke lever to RUN. NOTE: If engine has not started, pull starter rope 5 more pulls. If engine still does not run, it is probably flooded. STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE Flooded engines can be started by plac- ing the choke lever in the RUN position; then, pull the rope to clear the engine of excess fuel. This could require pulling the starter handle many times depend- ing on how badly the unit is flooded. If the unit still doesn't start, refer to TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE or call 1-800-235-5878. -11 -
