Idaho, Maine, Minnesota, New Jersey, Ore-  
gon, and Washington: Certain internal com-  
bustion engines operated on forest, brush,  
and/or grass covered land in the above areas  
are required to be equipped with a spark arres-  
tor, maintained in effective working order, or  
the engine must be constructed, equipped,  
and maintained for the prevention of fire.  
Check with your state or local authorities for  
regulations pertaining to these requirements.  
Failure to follow these requirements is a viola-  
tion of the law. This unit is not factory equipped  
with a spark arrestor; however, a spark arres-

SPECIAL NOTICE: Exposure to vibrations  
through prolonged use of gasoline powered  
hand tools could cause blood vessel or nerve  
damage in the fingers, hands, and joints of  
people prone to circulation disorders or abnor-  
mal swelling. Prolonged use in cold weather  
has been linked to blood vessel damage in oth-  
erwise healthy people. If symptoms occur  
such as numbness, pain, loss of strength,  
change in skin color or texture, or loss of feel-  
ing in the fingers, hands, or joints, discontinue  
the use of this tool and seek medical attention.  
An anti- vibration system does not guarantee  
the avoidance of these problems. Users who  
operate power tools on a continual and regular  
basis must monitor closely their physical con-  
spark arrestor, blower tubes, and nozzles dition and the condition of this tool.

OPERATION  
OPERATING TIPS  
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE  
S Operate power equipment only at reasonable  
hours--not early in the morning or late at night  
when people might be disturbed. Comply with  
times listed in local ordinances. Usual recom-  
mendations are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,  
Monday though Saturday.  
WARNING: 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  
1-800-554-6723.  
S To reduce noise levels, limit the number of  
pieces of equipment used at any one time.  
S To reduce noise levels, operate power blow-  
ers at the lowest possible throttle speed to do  
the job.  
S Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris be-  
fore blowing.  
S In dusty conditions, slightly dampen sur-  
faces when water is available.  
S Conserve water by using power blowers  
instead of hoses for many lawn and garden ap-  
plications, including areas such as gutters,  
screens, patios, grills, porches, and gardens.  
S Use the full blower nozzle extension so the  
air stream can work close to the ground.  
S After using blowers and other equipment,  
CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris in trash re-  
ceptacles.  
FUELING ENGINE  
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded  
gasoline. Gasoline must be mixed with a good  
quality 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil designed to  
be mixed at a ratio of 40:1. Poulan/Weed Eater  
brand oil is recommended. (A 40:1 ratio is ob-  
tained by mixing 3.2 ounces of oil with 1 gallon of  
unleaded gasoline). When mixing fuel follow the  
instructions printed on the container. Always read  
and follow the safety rules under FUEL SAFETY.  
Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in  
minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits  
during storage. Poulan/Weed Eater brand oil is  
already blended with fuel stabilizer.
