OPERATION

OPERATING POSITION

OPERATING TIPS

• While vacuuming or blowing debris, hold the unit with the muffler side facing away from your body and clothes (see OPERATING POSITION).
• To reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with sound level(s), hearing 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 reasonable hours-not early in the morning or late at night when people might be disturbed. Comply with times listed in local ordinances. Usual recommendations are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday though Saturday.
• To reduce noise levels, limit the number of pieces of equipment used at any one time.
• To reduce noise levels, operate power blowers at the lowest possible throttle speed to do the job.
• Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
• In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces or use a mister attachment when water is available.

• Conserve water by using power blowers 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 full blower nozzle extension so the air stream can work close to the ground.

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. Contact an authorized service dealer.

FUELING ENGINE

WARNING: Remove fuel cap slowly when refueling.

This engine is certified to operate on unleaded petrol. Before operation, petrol must be mixed with a good quality 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil. We recommend McCulloch® brand oil mixed at a ratio of 40:1 (2.5%). A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 5 liters of unleaded petrol with 0,125 liter of oil. When mixing fuel, follow the instructions printed on the container. Always read and follow the safety rules before fueling your unit.

IMPORTANT

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, 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.

STOPPING YOUR ENGINE

• To stop the engine, move the throttle lever to the STOP position.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

WARNING: You MUST make sure the tubes are secure before using the unit.

• Fuel engine. Move at least 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, animals, glass, and solid objects.

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 engine is running. Debris such as gravel, sand, dust, grass, etc. could be picked up by the air intake and thrown out through the discharge opening, damaging the unit or property, or causing serious injury to bystanders or the operator.

STARTING A COLD ENGINE (or a warm engine after running out of fuel)

1. Move throttle lever to the position.
2. Move choke lever to the FULL CHOKE position.
3. Slowly press the primer bulb 8 times. Throttle Lever Primer Button

Choke Lever

1. Pull starter rope sharply until engine attempts to run, but no more than 5 pulls (below 0^ C, 8 pulls).
   NOTE: If engine attempts to start before the 5^th pull, go to next step immediately.
2. Move the choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position.
3. Pull the starter rope sharply until the engine runs, but no more than 5 pulls (below 0^ C, 10 pulls).
