FILL/ADD OIL:

This Edger was shipped with a 20 ounce container of SAE30 motor oil. This oil must be added to the engine before operating.

Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick and fill the crankcase to FULL line on dipstick.

Your

engine may not require the entire 20 ounces of oil. DO NOT OVERFILL.

NOTE: Engine may already contain some residual oil.

Tighten the fill cap/dipstick securely each time you check the oil level.

OIL RECOMMENDATIONS

Only use high quality detergent oil rated with API service classification SG. Select the oil's SAE viscosity grade according to your expected operating temperature:

>> I

NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30,

10W30, etc.) improve starting in cold we_tther, these multi-viscosity oils will result in increased oil consumption when used above 32°F.

Check your engine oil level

more frequently to avoid possible engine

damage from running low on oil.

TO ADD ENGINE OIL

• Place the Edger on a level surface.

• Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick as shown in next figure.

Fill the engine crankcase, pouring slowly.

DO NOT OVERFILL.

/_ CAUTION: Never fill the gas tank

while the engine is running or hot.

Immediately wipe off any spilled gasoline before attempting to start the engine.

FILL GAS:

NOTE: ENGINES WHICH ARE CERTI-

FIED TO COMPLY WITH CALIFORNIA

AND US EPA EMISSION REGULATIONS

FOR ULGE ENGINES: Are certified to operate on regular unleaded gasoline.

Include the following emission control system(s): EM, TWC (if so equipped).

include any user adjustable features - therefore no other adjustments are needed.

Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh, unleaded premium, or reformulated automotive gasoline only. DO NOT use leaded gasoline.

Be sure that the container you pour the gasoline from is clean and free from dust or other foreign particles.

Never

use gasoline that may be stale from long periods of storage in the container.

Reinstall fuel cap.

WARNING: Experience indicates that

alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or

using 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. Drain fuel tank, start engine and let it run until 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.

Z_ WARNING: Gasoline is flammable and caution must be used when handling or stodng it. Do not fill fuel tank while Edger is running, hot, or when Edger is in an enclosed area. Keep away from open flame, electrical spark, and do not smoke while filling the fuel tank. Never fill fuel tank completely; but fill the tank to within 1/4-1/2 inch from the top to provide space for expansion of fuel. Always fill fuel tank outdoors and use a funnel or spout to prevent spilling. Make sure to wipe up any

spilled fuel before starting the engine. Store gasoline in a clean, approved container, and keep the cap in place on the container.

Keep gasoline in a cool, well ventilated place; never in the house.

Never buy more than a 30 day supply of gasoline to ensure volatility.

Gasoline is intended to be used as a fuel for internal combustion engines; therefore, do not use gasoline for any other purpose.

Since many children like the smell

of gasoline, keep it out of their reach because the fumes are dangerous to inhale, as well as being explosive.

TO START THE ENGINE

Before starting the engine, be sure you have read and understood all the instruc-

tions on the preceding pages. The Edger is equipped with a recoil starter. The opera-

tion of the engine is controlled by the throttle control lever. See page 6.

Push the depth control lever forward and

latch in the forward slot of the adjustment

bracket to raise the blade.

Move the throttle control lever, see figure on page 6, to the FAST ,(me position.

NOTE: Do not use primer to restart a warm engine after a short shutdown.

Pull the engine control lever back to contact the upper handle tube and hold

the Edger handle and control lever firmly

withyourleft hand.

• To startengine,graspthe enginestarter handlefirmlywithyour

fight hand.

• Pull back sharply on the recoil starter handle. DO NOT allow the starter rope to snap back, let it rewind slowly while holding the starter handle.

NOTE: If engine fails to start after three pulls, push primer button two times and pull starter rope again.

When the engine starts, run at full engine speed during normal use.

NOTE: The cutting blade speed is

controlled by the engine speed. To reduce the cutting blade speed, push back on the throttle control lever. To increase the blade speed, push the throttle control lever forward.

To stop O the engine, make sure the depth control lever is all the way forward and release the engine control lever to the stop position or push the throttle control lever to stop I_!.

See figure on page 6.

Z_ WARNING: Never run the engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated area.

Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas. Keep hands,

feet, hair and loose clothing away from any moving parts on the engine or Edger. Avoid the muffler and surrounding areas. Temperaturas may exceed 150 ° F.

EDGING TIPS

• Edging is best performed when conditions

are dry. If the soil is too wet, dirt becomes packed in and around the blade causing premature belt wear and decreased performance.

• If dirt does become packed around the blade, stop the engine, remove the spark plug wire, and remove the packed debris before continuing to edge.

• If very deep edging is required, we recommend that a shallow cut be made first, then cuts at greater depth until the desired depth is obtained.

• Uniform edging can be performed when the blade guide (see figure on page 6) rides on and against the surface which you are edging.

• Edging can be customized by varying the number of passes and by the distance your blade is from the surface you are edging.

IMPORTANT:A yearly checkup or tuneup by a Craftsman Service Center is a good way of ensuring that your Edger will provide maximum performance for the next season.

ENGINE

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent

gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose, or tank during storage.

Also, experience indicates that using alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, 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 prevent engine damage (if Edger is not

used for more than 30 days) follow the steps below.

To remove gasoline, run the engine until the tank is empty and the engine stops.

If you do not want to remove gasoline, a fuel stabilizer (such as Craftsman fuel stabilizer No. 33500) may be added to any gasoline left in the tank to minimize gum deposits and acids. If the tank is almost empty, mix stabilizer with fresh gasoline in a separate container and add some to the tank. Always follow instructions on stabilizer container, Then run engine at least 10 minutes after stabilizer is added to allow mixture to reach

14 carburetor. Store Edger in a safe place.

See waming on this page.

Store the Edger in the wheels-down, operating position. If the Edger is stored

in any other position, oil from the crankcase could enter the cylinder, causing a service problem.

You can keep your engine in good operating condition during storage by:

Changing oil.

Lubricating the piston/cylinder area. This

can be done by first removing the spark plug and squirting clean engine oil into the spark plug hole. Then cover the spark plug hole with a rag to absorb oil spray.

Next, rotate the engine by pulling the starter two or three times. Finally,

reinstall spark plug and attach spark plug wire.
