You are thereby part of a story that started long ago,when the McCulloch Corporation startedits manufacturing of engines during WorldWar II. In 1949, when McCulloch introduced its first light one-man chain saw, woodworking would never be the same again. The line of innovative chainsaws wouldcontinue over thedecades, andbusiness was expanded, first by airplane and kart engines in the 1950s, then by mini chainsaws in the 1960s. Later, in the 1970s and 80s, trimmers and blower/vacs were added to the range. Today, as a part of the Husqvarna group, McCulloch continues the tradition of powerful engines, technical innovations, and strong designs that have been our hallmarks for more than half a century. Lowering fuel consumption, emissions and noise levels are of top priority to us, as is improving safety and user-friendliness. We certainly hope that you will be satisfied with your McCulloch product, as it is designed to be your companion for a long time. By following this operators manual’s advice on usage, service, and maintenance, its lifespan can beextended. If you should need professional help with repairor service, please use the Service Locator at www.mcculloch.com. McCulloch has a policy of continuous product development and therefore reserves the right to modify the design and appearance of products without prior notice.

WARNING: While vacuuming or

blowing debris, hold the unit with the muffler side facing away from your body and clothes (see OPERATING POSITION). S To reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with sound level(s), hearing protection is required. S To reduce the risk of injury associated with contacting rotating parts, stop the engine be- fore installing or removing attachments. Do not operate without guard(s) in place. S 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 recom- mendations are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday though Saturday. S To reduce noise levels, limit the number of pieces of equipment used at any one time. S To reduce noise levels, operate power blowers at the lowest possible throttle speed to do the job. S Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris be- fore blowing. S In dusty conditions, slightly dampen sur- faces or use a mister attachment when wa- ter is available. S 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. S Watch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly washed cars. Blow debris away safely. S Use the full blower nozzle extension so the air stream can work close to the ground. S After using blowers and other equipment, CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris in trash re- ceptacles.

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 engineoil designed to be mixed at a ratio of 40:1. A 40:1-- 9 -- OPERATION ratio is obtained by mixing 5 liters of unleaded petrol with 0,125 liter of oil. DO NOT USE automotive oil or marine oil. These oils will cause engine damage. When mixing fuel, follow instructions printed on oil container. Once oil is added to petrol, shake container momentarily to assure that the fuel is thoroughly mixed. Always read and follow the safety rules relating to fuel before fueling your unit. MIXING RATIO Petrol, litre Two--stroke oil, litre 40:1 (2,5%) 2 0,050 5 0,125 10 0,250 CAUTION: Never use straight petrol in your unit. This will cause permanent engine damage. FUEL REQUIREMENTS Use good quality unleaded petrol. The lowest recommended octane grade is 90 (RON). IMPORTANT Use of alcohol blended fuels (more than 10% alcohol) can cause major engine performance and durability problems.

WARNING: Incorrect use of fuel and/

or lubricants will cause problems such as: improper clutch engagements, overheat- ing, vapor lock, power loss, lubrication defi- ciency, deterioration of fuel lines, gaskets and internal carburetor components, etc. Alcohol blended fuels will cause a high ab- sorption of moisture in the fuel/oil mixture, causing the separation of oil and fuel.

HOW TO STOP YOUR ENGINE

S Release the throttle trigger. S Push and hold the STOP switch in the STOP position until the engine stops.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

WARNING: You MUST make sure the

tubes are secure before using the unit. D Fuel engine. Move at least 3 meters away from the fueling site. D Hold the unit in the starting position as shown. Make sure the blower end is di- rected away from people, animals, glass, and solid objects. Blower Vacuum STARTING POSITION

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 engineis running. De- bris 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 seri- ous injury to bystanders or the operator.
