When using the vacuum attachment, the mulching blades automatically reduce debris at a ratio of up to 16:1. STOP SWITCH The STOP switch is used to stop the engine. To stop the engine, push and hold the STOP switch in the STOP posi- tion until the engine stops, THROTTLE TRIGGER The THROTTLE TRIGGER is used to se- lect the desired engine speed, -8-
THROTTLE POSITION LEVER The THROTTLE POSITION LEVER is de- signed to allow setting engine speed during blower use only. To avoid caus- ing damage to the unit, DO NOT at- tempt to use the throttle position lever during vacuum use. PRIMER BULB The PRIMER BULB removes air from the carburetor and fuel lines and flits them with fuel This allows you to start the engine with fewer pulls on the starter rope. Activate primer bulb by pressing it and allowing it to return to its original position. START LEVER The START LEVER helps to supply fuel to the engine to aid in starting. Activate 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 t 0-15 seconds, then fully squeeze the throttle trigger to deacti- vate the starting system (start tever re- turns to RUN position). OPERATING TIPS ⢠While vacuuming or blowing debris, hold the unit with the muffler side fac- ing away from your body and cIothes (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 eady in the morn- ing or late at night when people might be disturbed. Compty 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, timit 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 btowing. ⢠In dusty conditions, siightly 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. ⢠Watch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly washed cars. Blow debris away safely. ⢠Use the fult 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 _ 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 1-800-235-5878. FUELING ENGINE WARNING: 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-cycte 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 ounces of oil with 1 gatlon of un- -9-
leaded gasoline. Included with this blow- er is a 3.2 ounce container of oil. Pour the entire contents of this container into 1 gallon of gasoline to achieve the prop- er fuel mixture. DO NOT USE automotive oil or boat oil. These oils will cause en- gine 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 fol- low the safety rules relating to f_el be- fore fueling your unit. IMPORTANT Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract mois- ture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel sys- tem of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, empty the fuel system before storage for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season, Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur. Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alter- native in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Craftsman brand oil is already blended with fuel stabilizer. See the STORAGE section for additional information. HOW TO STOP YOUR ENGINE ⢠Release the throttle trigger. ⢠Push and hold the STOP switch in the STOP position until the engine stops.

When using the vacuum attachment, the mulching blades automatically reduce debris at a ratio of up to 16:1. STOP SWITCH The STOP switch is used to stop the engine. To stop the engine, push and hold the STOP switch in the STOP posi- tion until the engine stops, THROTTLE TRIGGER The THROTTLE TRIGGER is used to se- lect the desired engine speed, -8-
THROTTLE POSITION LEVER The THROTTLE POSITION LEVER is de- signed to allow setting engine speed during blower use only. To avoid caus- ing damage to the unit, DO NOT at- tempt to use the throttle position lever during vacuum use. PRIMER BULB The PRIMER BULB removes air from the carburetor and fuel lines and flits them with fuel This allows you to start the engine with fewer pulls on the starter rope. Activate primer bulb by pressing it and allowing it to return to its original position. START LEVER The START LEVER helps to supply fuel to the engine to aid in starting. Activate 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 t 0-15 seconds, then fully squeeze the throttle trigger to deacti- vate the starting system (start tever re- turns to RUN position). OPERATING TIPS ⢠While vacuuming or blowing debris, hold the unit with the muffler side fac- ing away from your body and cIothes (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 eady in the morn- ing or late at night when people might be disturbed. Compty 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, timit 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 btowing. ⢠In dusty conditions, siightly 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. ⢠Watch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly washed cars. Blow debris away safely. ⢠Use the fult 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 _ 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 1-800-235-5878. FUELING ENGINE WARNING: 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-cycte 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 ounces of oil with 1 gatlon of un- -9-
leaded gasoline. Included with this blow- er is a 3.2 ounce container of oil. Pour the entire contents of this container into 1 gallon of gasoline to achieve the prop- er fuel mixture. DO NOT USE automotive oil or boat oil. These oils will cause en- gine 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 fol- low the safety rules relating to f_el be- fore fueling your unit. IMPORTANT Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract mois- ture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel sys- tem of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, empty the fuel system before storage for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season, Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur. Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alter- native in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Craftsman brand oil is already blended with fuel stabilizer. See the STORAGE section for additional information. 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 _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 WARNING: When starting engine, 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.
