ADD GASOLINE
• Fill fuel tank to bottom of gas tank
filler neck. Do not overfill. Use fresh,
clean, regular unleaded gasoline with a
minimum of 87 octane. Do not mix oil
with gasoline.
Purchase fuel in quanti-
ties that can be used within 30 days to
assure fuel freshness.
CAUTION:
Wipe off any spilled oil or
fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline
near an open flame.
_k,CAUTION:
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, the
fuel system should be emptied before
storage of 30 days or longer. Empty
the gas tank, start the engine and let it
run until the fuel lines and carburetor
are empty. Use fresh fuel next season.
See Storage Instructions for additional
information. Never use engine or
carburetor cleaner products in the fuel
tank or permanent damage may occur.
NOTE: In cooler weather it may be
necessary to repeat priming steps. In
warmer weather overpriming
may cause
flooding and engine will not start.
If you
do flood engine, wait a few minutes before
attempting to start and do not repeat
priming steps.

TO STOP
ENGINE
• To stop engine,
move throttle
control
lever to STOP
position.
TO START
ENGINE
1. To start a cold engine, push primer three
(3) times before trying to start.
Use a
firm push. This step is not usually neces-
sary when starting an engine which has
already run for a few minutes.
2. Move throttle control lever to FAST
position.
3. Hold upper handle firmly and pull
starter handle quickly. Do not allow
starter rope to snap back.
TRIMMING TIPS
• Set the throttle control in the FAST posi-
tion. If the weeds or grass are tall and
thick, operate the trimmer at a slower
walking speed.
• Frequently clean the underside of the
trimmer to remove any grass build up.
Keep top of engine around starter clear
and clean of grass clippings and chaff.
This will help engine air flow and extend
engine life.
• For best results and longer lasting line,
use the ends of the line to do the cutting.
This is easily done by moving slowly
through very thick and heavy weeds.
• Use the left side of trimmer when trim-
ming along fences, walls, flowerbeds
and other such objects.
• If trimmer lines become too short, it will
take longer to complete the job. If trim-
mer lines are worn to less than half their
original length, they should be replaced.
See "TO REPLACE TRIMMER LINE" in
the Maintenance
section of this manual.
• Trimmer head contact with concrete, as-
phalt or other hard surfaces may cause
premature wear of the ball on bottom of
trimmer head.
