WHEN DOES BLADE THRUST OCCUR?

Blade thrustcan occurwithoutwarningif the blade

snags,stalls,or binds. This ismore likelytooccurin

areaswhere itisdifficulttoseethematedal beingcut.

By using the unitproperly,the occurrenceof blade

thrustwill be reducedand the operatorwillbe less

likelyto lose control.

SOMEONE WHO DOES UNDERSTAND

THE FUEL SAFETY SECTION OR CALL

THE CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE-HOTLINE

AT 1-800-235-5878.

GASOLINE

The two-cycleengine on thisproduct requires a fuel mix-

ture of regular unleadedgasolineand a high quality40:1

2-cycle engine oil (AIR-COOLED) for lubrication of the

bearings and othermovingparts.The correctfuel/oil mix-

ture is 40:1 (see Fuel Mixture Chart). Too little oil or the

incorrectoil type will cause poor performance and may

cause the engine tooverheatand seize.

Gasoline and oil must be premixed in a clean approved

fuel container. Always use fresh regular unleaded gaso-

line.

This engine iscertifiedtooperate on unleaded gasoline.

IMPORTANT: Experience indicates that alcohol blended

fuels called gasohol (or usingethanol or methanol) can

attract moisture, which leads to oil/gas separation and

formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can dam-

age the fuel system of an engine while in storage, To

avoid engine problems,the fuel system should be emp-

tied before storage for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas

tank, then run the fuel outof the carburetor and fuel lines

by startingthe engine and letting it run untilit stops.Use

fresh fuel next season. See STORAGE instructions for

additional information.Never use engine or carburetor

cTeanerproductsin the fuel tank or permanent damage

may occur,

FUEL STABILIZER

Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in minimizing

the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add

stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container.

Always followthe fuel tank or storage container.Always

followthe fuel mix ratiofoundon the stabilizer container.

Run engine at least 5 minutesafter adding stabilizer to

ailow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. You do not

have to drain the fuet tank for storage if you are using

fuelstabilizer.

40:1 2-CYCLE AIR-COOLED ENGINE OIL

CRAFTSMAN 40:1 2-cycle engine oii (AIR-COOLED) is

strongly recommended.This oil is specially blended with

fuel stabilizersfor increased fuel stability(extendsfuel life

up to5 timeslonger) and reduced smoke.

If CRAFTSMAN 40:1 2-cycle engine oil (AIR-COOLED)

is not available, use a good quality 2-cycle engine oil

(AIR-COOLED) that has a recommended fuel mix ratio of

40:t,

IMPORTANT! Do no use:

• AUTOMOTIVE OIL

• BOAT OILS (NMMA, BIA, etc.)

These oilsdo not have proper additives for 2-cycle AIR-

COOLED engines and can cause engine damage.

GASOLINE AND OIL MIXTURE

Mixgasolineand oi!as follows:

° Consuifchart for correctquantities.

• Do not mix gasoline and oil directly in the unit's fuel

tank.

FOR ONE GALLON:

• Pour3.2 ounces of high quality, 40:1 2-cycle engine oit

(AIR-COOLED) into an empty, approved one gallon

gasoline container.

• Add one gallon of regular unleaded gasoline to the gal-

lon container, then securely replace thecap.

• Shake thecontainer.

• The mixture is now ready for use. Fuel stabilizer can be

added at this time if desired; follow mixing instructions

onthe label.

NOTE: Fuel containers may hold more than the specified

amount. If too much gasoline is in the container, the

resulting gas-to-oil fuel mixture witl not be correct for

properengineoperation.

CRAFTSMAN 40:1 2-cycle engine oil (AIR-COOLED) is

specially blended with fuel stabilizers. If you do not use

this Sears oil, you can add a fuel stabilizer (such as

line such as small posts, trees, fence.wireor concrete,

• The linewill easily remove grass and weedsfrom around

wals, fences, treesand flower beds; but, it also can cul

the tender bark of trees or shrubs and scar fences. To

help avoid damage espec;aly to delicate vegetation or

trees with tender bark, shorten line to4-5 inches and use

at partialthrottle.

, The tip of the line does the cutting. You wil!achieve the

best performance and minimum line wear by not crowd-

ing theline into cutling area.

• Always releasethrottle trigger and aEIowengine to return

INSTRUCTIONS

If yourtrimmer isto be storedfor a period oftime, clean

it thoroughlyprior to storage. Remove any dirt, leaves,

oi!,grease, etc. Store in a clean dry area.

• Clean theentire unit.

• Clean air filter.Refer to=Customer Responsibilities".

• Open the semi-automatic line head assembly and

clean any dirt,grass or debds that hascollected.

• Inspectthe cuttingline. Old cutting line may be chalky

or sticky to the touch. Remove and discard old line

and installfresh new line.

• Lightlyoilexternal metal surfaces to prevent rustIrom

forming.

• If yourunitis equippedwith a blade, remove itfromthe

unit. Refer to "Assembly".Apply a coating of oi! to the

entire surface ofthe blade and wrap in in heavy paper

or cloth.Also, apply a light coat of oit tothe arborshaft

threads, then tighten blade nut for storage.

• Re-assemble all loose parts, being sure that all han-

dles and guards are in place and are securely fas-

tened. Replace any damaged parts.

• The recommended storage position is either vertically

with the fuel cap on top, or horizontally with the rue!

cap up. Do not store unit with the cuffing attach-

ment up.

• Hang the unitbythe brackets under the motorhousing

to avoid fuel leaks. Make sure the unitis positionedso

that the bladescannot cause injury.

A........... Ij CAUTION: WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES

WHEN HANDLING LINE LIMITER. THE

BLADE IS SHARP AND CAN CUT YOU.

Never use engine or carburetor cleaner productsin the

fuel tank or permanent damage may occur to fuel sys-

tem components.

Followthese instructions:

• Drainthe fuel from the unitintoan approvedfuel con-

tainer.

• Drain the fuel lines and carburetor by starting the

: engineand letting it rununtilitstops.

• Allowthe engine to coolbefore storage.

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits

from forming in essentialfuel system parts such as the

carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage.

Also, experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels,

those that use ethanol or methanol (called gasohol or

oxygenated fuel), can attract moisture and form acidic

gas which will damage your engine. To avoid engine

problems, the fuel system should be emptied before

storageof 30 days or longer.

Fuel stabilizer isan acceptable alternative in minimizing

the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add

stabilizer to the gasolinein the fuel tank or fuel storage

container. Always follow the mix instructionsfound on

stabilizercontainers.Run engine at least 5 minutesafter

addingstabilizerto allow the stabilizer to reach the car-

buretor.

CRAFTSMAN 40:1 2-cycle engine oil (AIR-COOLED) is

specially blended withfuel stabilizer.If you do not usethis

Sears oil, you can add a fuel stabilizer (suchas CRAFTS-

MAN No,33500) to yourfuel tank.

• Lightlyoil extemal metal surface to prevent rust from

forming.

• Use fresh fuel havingthe proper gasoline tooil ratioat

the beginningofthe nextseason.

OTHER

- Do notstore gasolinefrom one season toanother.

• Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust.

Rust and/or dirt in your fuel system will cause prob-

lems.
