STOP SWITCH
The STOPswitch is used to stop the en-
gine. To stop the engine, push and re-
lease the engine STOP switch.
PRIMER BULB
The PRIMER BULB removes air from
the carburetor and fuel lines and fills
them with fuel. This allows you to start
the engine with fewer pulls on the
starter rope. Activate the primer bulb
by pressing it and allowing it to return
to its original form.
START LEVER
The START LEVER helps to supply fuel
to the engine to aid in starting. Acti-
vate the starting system by moving the
start lever to the START position. DO
NOT squeeze the throttle trigger until
the engine has started and runs. After
the engine starts, allow the engine to
warm-up 10-15 seconds, then fully
squeeze the throttle trigger to deacti-
vate the starting system.
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
_WARNING: Be sure to read
the fuel information in the safety rules
before you begin. Ifyou do not
understand the safety rules, do not
attempt to fuel your unit. Call
1-800-235-5878.
FUELING ENGINE
_WARNING: Remove fuel cap
slowly when refueling.
This engine is certified to operate on
unleaded gasoline. Before operation,
gasoline must be mixed with a good
quality synthetic 2-cycle air-cooled
engine oil. We recommend
Craftsman <_brand synthetic oil. Mix
gasoline and oil at a ratio of 40:1. A
40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 3.2
ounces of oil with 1 gallon of unleaded
gasoline. Included with this trimmer 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
automotive oil or marine 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 follow the safety rules
relating to fuel before fueling your unit.
