OIL AND FUEL
FUELING THE UNIT
1. Position the unit with the fuel cap facing up.
2. Remove the fuel cap.
3. Place the fuel container spout into the fill hole on the fuel tank
and fill the tank.
NOTE: Do not overfill the tank.
4. Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled.
5. Reinstall the fuel cap.
6. Move the unit at least 30 ft. (9.1 m) from the fuel container and
the fueling site before starting the engine.
OIL AND FUEL MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
The use of old and/or improperly mixed fuel is the most common cause
of performance problems. Use only fresh, clean unleaded gasoline.
Follow the instructions carefully for the proper gasoline/oil mixture.
Definition of Blended Fuels
Today's fuels are often a blend of gasoline and oxygenates such as
ethanol, methanol or MTBE (ether). Alcohol-blended fuel absorbs
water. As little as 1% water in the fuel can make fuel and oil
separate, forming acids when stored. ALWAYS use fresh fuel (less
than 30 days old).
NOTE: Dispose of old fuel according to federal, state and local
regulations.
Using Blended Fuels
If using a blended fuel:
Always use the fresh fuel mix explained in your operator's manual
Use the fuel additive STA-BIL® or an equivalent
Always agitate the fuel mix before fueling the unit
Drain the tank and run the engine dry before storing the unit
Using Fuel Additives
The bottle of 2-cycle oil provided with this unit contains a fuel
additive to help inhibit corrosion and minimize gum deposits.
Always use the brand of 2-cycle oil that came with this unit. If this is
unavailable, use a 2-cycle oil designed for air-cooled engines and
mix it with a fuel additive, such as STA-BIL Fuel Stabilizer or an
equivalent. Add 0.8 oz. (23 ml) of fuel additive per gallon of fuel,
according to the instructions on the container. NEVER add fuel
additives directly to the unit's fuel tank.
Mixing the Fuel
NOTE: This unit comes with a 3.2 oz. bottle of 2-cycle oil. To obtain
the correct fuel mixture described below, pour the entire bottle
into one gallon of unleaded gasoline.
Thoroughly mix the proper ratio of unleaded gasoline with 2-cycle
engine oil. Do not mix them directly in the unit’s fuel tank. Use a
separate fuel can. Use a 40:1 gasoline/oil ratio. See the table below
for specific gasoline and oil mixing ratios.
Unleaded gasoline 2-cycle oil
1 gallon U.S.
(3.8 liters)
3.2 fl. oz.
(95 ml)
1 liter 25 ml
MIXING RATIO - 40:1
CAUTION:
For proper engine operation and maximum
reliability, pay strict attention to the gasoline and oil mixing
instructions on the 2-cycle oil bottle. Using improperly
mixed fuel can severely damage the engine.
WARNING:
Gasoline is extremely flammable. Ignited
vapors may explode. 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 at a distance
from the area.
WARNING:
Remove the fuel cap slowly to avoid injury
from fuel spray. Never operate the unit without the fuel cap
securely in place.
WARNING:
Add fuel in a clean, well ventilated outdoor
area. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately. Avoid creating
a source of ignition for spilled fuel. Do not start the engine
until fuel vapors dissipate.
WARNING:
DO NOT USE E85 FUEL IN THIS UNIT. It
has been proven that fuel containing greater than 10%
ethanol will likely damage this engine and void the warranty.

MAINTAINING THE AIR FILTER
Failure to maintain the air filter can result in poor performance or can
cause permanent damage to the engine. Engine failure due to
improper air filter maintenance is not covered by the product warranty.
Cleaning the Air Filter
1. Open the air filter cover: press in the lock tab and swing the air
filter cover to the right (Fig. 16).
2. Remove the air filter from inside the air filter cover (Fig. 16).
3. Wash the air filter in detergent and water. Rinse the air filter
thoroughly and allow it to dry.
4. Lightly coat the air filter with clean SAE 30 oil.
5. Squeeze the air filter to spread and remove excess oil.
6. Reinstall the air filter inside the air filter cover (Fig. 16).
NOTE: Operating the unit without the air filter and air filter cover will
VOID the warranty.
7. Close the air filter cover: swing the air filter cover to the left and
press it closed until the lock tab snaps into place (Fig. 16).
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always stop
the engine and allow it to cool before cleaning or maintaining
the unit.

ADJUSTING THE IDLE SPEED
NOTE: Careless adjustments can seriously damage the unit. A qualified
service dealer should make carburetor adjustments.
If, after checking the fuel and cleaning the air filter, the engine still
will not idle, adjust the idle speed screw as follows:
1. Start the engine. Refer to Starting and Stopping.
2. Release the throttle control and let the engine idle. If the engine
stops, use a small Phillips screwdriver to turn the idle speed screw
clockwise, 1/8 of a turn at a time (as needed) until the engine idles
smoothly (Fig. 17).
3. If the engine is idling too quickly, turn the idle speed screw
counterclockwise, 1/8 of a turn at a time (as needed) to reduce the
idle speed (Fig. 17).
Checking the fuel, cleaning the air filter, and adjusting the idle speed
should solve most engine problems. If not, and any of the following
conditions are true, take the unit to a qualified service dealer:
the engine will not idle
the engine hesitates or stalls on acceleration
there is a loss of engine power
WARNING:
The cutting head may spin during idle speed
adjustments. Wear protective clothing and observe all
safety instructions to prevent serious personal injury.
