GASOUNE AND OIL MIXTURE

Important! Do not useautomotiveor boatoilsin

yourair blower.These oilsdo nothave proper

additivesfor 2-cycle, air-cooled enginesand can

cause engine damage.

The 2.cycle engine onthis productrequiresa fuel

mixtureof regularunleaded gasolineand a highquality

2-cycleair-cooled engine oilfor lubricationofthe

bearingsand other movingpads.The correctfuel:oil

mixtureis40-1 (see Fuel MixtureChad). Too littleoil

or the incorrectoiltype willcause poorperformance

and may cause the engine to overheatand seize.

Gasoline and oilmustbe premixedina clean

approvedfuel container.Alwaysuse fresh regular

unleadedgasoline. Thisengine iscertifiedto operate

on unleaded'gasoline.

USING THE MULTI-FUNCTION HANDLE

_Themulti-functionhandle has an on-offswitch (Fig. 5,

desired RPM. This freesthe operatorfrom holdingthe

throttlelever. If notset on maximumRPM and a

• greater RPM is required,simplysqueeze thethrottle

lever. To returnto the lower RPM, release thethrottle

lever. If theoperator planson blowingat the maximum

RPM for a long periodoftime, the speed lever is

movedtothe =max"setting. Ifthe operatorisonly
