help with a Stihl Trimmer

[steve20]

As a member of our town recycling committee we often work Saturdays to keep the place clean, and help people to decide which dumpster their junk goes in. I found a Stihl FS 36 hanging on a dumpster-which to me, means it works, but someone got tired of it, died, or moved to a condo.
I got home, dumped the very stale gas out, filled er up with a fresh mix and she was going in no time
Need help getting an online owner's manual
STIHL Model FS 36
C.A.R.B. cert sticker says valid 1996-1998, so I would assume it is of that era.
Ther isn't a mix ratio on the fuel cap, so I used 50:1. Would also appreciate help in how to wind the string correctly, and should I use 85 or 90 string?

85 or 90 string, it will not matter-

50;1 is the correct ratio using Stihl oil-

Winding the string, tough to help online-

Here's the online manual-

I have one of the FS-36 trimmers. It really is a nice machine for the price. In the 12 years I have had it, only had to change the spark plugs a couple times and clean the spark arrestor once. It has run most of its life on red bottle Stihl 2 cycle oil, but in the past year have switched to the Stihl Hp ultra synthetic.
