A. _ELING YOUR ENGINE
1. $_E_. S&FETY
a Use only recommended fuel mixtures.
b_ Mix and pour fuel outdoors and where there are
no sparks or flames
c Use a container approved for fuel,
d, Do not smokeor allow smoking near fuel or the tool
of' while using the tool
e. Wipe up all fuel spills before starting the engineo
f Move at least 10 feet away from fueling site
before starting engine,
g Stop engine before removing fuel cap. Allow the
engine to cool before refueling.
h Before storing tool, use up fuel left in carbine-
tot and fuel lines by starting engine and letting
it run until it stops.
io Store tool and fuel in an area where fuel vapor_
cannot reach sparks or open flames from water
heaters, electric motors or switches, furnaces, etc
_-. _./EL M_TURE
Your tool is powered by a 2-cycle engine which
requires a fuel mixture of regular unleaded gaso-
line and a high quality engine oil specially made
for 2-cycle, air cooled engines.
The internal design of the 2-cycle engine requires
lubrication of moving parts. Lubrication is provided
when the recommended mixture ofgasoline and oil
is used.
® Genuine Sears 2-cycle engine oil mixed at 40:1 is
strongly recommended for the protection ofyour
unit. Extensive engineering tests have proven that
Sears 2-cycte engine oil resists break-down at
operating temperatures common to 2-cycle engines,
resulting in dependable performance and longer
engine life_
o Gasoline must be clean and not over two months
old. After a short period of time, gasoline will chem-
ically break down and form compounds that cause
hard starting and damage in 2-cycle engines.
® The correct measure of gasoline to oil is very
important. Too much oil inthe mixture will foul the
spark plug
[CAu'IrlIoN:] Too little oil or incorrect oil will
cause the engine to overheat and seize.

3. USE THE _'_)LL@_G ONLY:
" 3.2 oz., 40:1, 2-cycle air cooled engine oil to
1 gal_ gasoline OR
• 8 oz 40:1, 2-cycle air cooled engine oil to 2 5
gat_ gasoline.
_ (40 parts gasoline to 1 part oil)

SEARS 2-cycte air cooled engine oil mixed at 40:1
is strongly recommended
I1:SEARS 2-cycle air cooled engine oil is not avail-
able, use a good quality, 2-cycle air cooled engine
oil mixed at a ratio of 16:1 (8 oz oil to ! gallon
gasoline)
4. DO N_ USE:
o NMMA Oil-- National Marine Manufacturers
Association ((brmerly BIA)
--Does not have proper additives tbr 2-cycte, air-
cooled engines and can cause engine damage,
• AUTOMOTIVE OIL --
-- Does not have proper additives for 2-cycle, air_
cooled engines and can cause engine damage,
CAUTION
Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called
gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract
moisture which leads to separation and formation of
acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel
system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine
problems, do not leave fuel in the unit when storing for
30 days or longer. Start the engine and let it run until the
fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next
season. See the "Storage" section for additional
information. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
products in the fuel tank or permanent damage
can occnr.
NOTE: If you do not want to remove the fuel flom
your unit, SEARS CRAFTSMAN Fuel Stabilizer
(#71-33500) may be added to fuel left in the tank to
minimize gum deposits and acids If the tank is almost
empty, mix stabilizer with fresh fuel in a separate con-
tainer and add to the tank
&. HOW T@ MIX $_IEL AND FILL TANK
a. Pour the proper measure of engine oil into an ap-
proved, marked container Do trot mi,r gasoline and
oil directly in the fiwl tank_
b Using a spout or funnel, fitl the tank with regular
unleaded gasoline.
c, Reinstall the fuel cap securely
NOTE: If fuel is already in the fuel container; add the
proper measure of engine oil, Then, close the con-
tainer tightly and shake it momentarily,
