Service other than user maintenance should be performed by a McCulloch Authorized Service Center. [. . . ] pulling starter at an angle will cause rope to rub against the eyelet. This could cause rope to snag or fray and also damage the starter assembly. Place blower on your back by slipping arms through the shoulder straps as if you were putting on a jacket (Figure 4-4A). Once adjustments have been made, to the straps for user comfort, remove the blower from your back and place on level ground in an upright position. FUEL Use regular grade unleaded gasoline mixed with Genuine Factory Parts 40:1 custom 2-cycle engine oil for best results. This will cause permanent engine damage and void the manufacturer’s warranty for that product. If 2-cycle lubricant other than Genuine Factory Parts Custom Lubricant is to be used, it must be a premium grade oil for 2-cycle air cooled engines mixed at a 40:1 ratio. Do not use any 2-cycle oil product with a recommended mixing ratio of 100:1. If insufficient lubrication is the cause of engine damage, it voids the manufacturer’s engine warranty. RECOMMENDED FUELS Some conventional gasolines are being blended with oxygenates such as alcohol or an ether compound to meet clean air standards. Your McCulloch engine is designed to operate satisfactorily on any gasoline intended for automotive use including oxygenated gasolines. Use the blower for trees, shrubs, flower beds, and hard-to-clean areas. Use the unit around buildings and for other normal cleaning procedures. We recommend that a face mask be worn when operating blower in dusty areas. Stand away from the debris, at a distance that will easily allow you to control the direction of blown debris. To control velocity of airstream, blower can be operated at any speed between idle and full throttle. Experience with the unit will help you determine the amount of airflow necessary for each application. Operate power equipment only at reasonable hours-not early in the morning or late at night when people might be disturbed. To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of equipment used at any one time. Operate power blowers at the lowest possible throttle speed to do the job. Check your equipment before operation, especially the muffler, air intakes and air filters. 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. [. . . ] If further adjustments are necessary take your blower to a McCulloch or other qualified service dealer.
