A. FUELING YOUR ENGINE

1.FUEL SAFETY

a.Useonly recommended fud mixtures.

b. Mix and pour fuel ouldoors and where there are

nosparksorflames.

c. Use a container approved for fud.

d. Do notsmoke or allow smoking nearfuelor the tool

or while using the tool.

e. Wipe up all furl spills before starting the engine_

f. Move at least 10 feet away from furling site

before starting engine.

g. Stop engine before-removing fuel calx Allow

the engine to cool before refueling.

h. Before storing toot; use up fad left in carbm_

lor by starting engiffe and letting 'it run until it

stops.

i. Store tool and fuel in an area where fuel vapors

cannot reach sparks or olden flames from water

heaters, eloctdc motors or switches, furnaces, etc.

•. FUEL MAXTIJRE

•Your tool is powered by a 2-cycle engine which

requires a furl _of regular unleaded gaso-

line and a high qu_ity engine oil specially made

for 2-¢ycle_ air cooled engines.

The internal design oftbe 2-c-ycle engine requires

lubrication of moving parts. I__brication is provided

when the reoommended mixture ofgasol ine andoil

is used.

•Genuine Sears40:l, 2-cycle engine oil is str_

recommended for the protection,of your unit.

Exte_iveengineeiingtestshavepi_veathat Sears

-2-cycle erigine o'flresists brzak-downa_-operatlng

•Gasoline must bedean and not over two months

old. Aftera shortperiod of time, gasolin_willchem-

ically break down and form compounds thaf_ause

hard starting _damage in 2-cycle engines.

s The correct measure of gasoline to Oil is very

important. Toomuch oil in the mixtu_ will foul the

spark plug.

ICAUrloN:] Too little oH or incorrect oil will

cause the engine to overheat and seize.

3. USE THE FOLLOWING ONLY:

SEARS CRAFTSMAN 2-cycle engine oil

mixed at 40:1 is stronglyrecommended. Con-

suit the in.structions on the oil container for

Rroper nnxmg.

1PART OIL TO 40 PARTS GASOLINE=

3.2 ft. oz. oil to Igallon gasoline

8.0 ft. oz. off to 2.5 gallon gasoline

Not all air cooled 2-cycle engine oils ha_'e the

same qualities. If SEARS CRAFTSMAN 2-cycle

engine oil is not available, use a good quality,

2-cycle engine oil recommended for air-cooled

engines. Mix at a ratio of 40: I(3.2 oz. oil to i

gallon gasoline).

4.DO N0T USE:

The tip of the line does the cutting. You will achi_

the best performance and minimum line wear by not

cr(r,vding the line into the cutting area. The fight and

:wrong ways are shown in Figure 15+

• The line will easily remove grass and weeds from

around wai_ fences, trees, andflower beds, butit

also can cut the tender bark of trees or shrubs and

sctwfences. To avoid damage, especially to delicate

vegetation or tre_ with tender bark. use less than full

thr_e and keep a 3inch distance away. Keep in mind

that the line "_11 advance suddenly toa longer length

when it wears down to 4-5 inches.

•oFor bfmmingor scalping use less than full throttle

to' prevent line breakage and _cessive line usage:

-- near objects around which the line can wrap, such

as small posts, trees, or fence wire.
