The safe use of this product requires an understanding of the information on the tool and in this operator’s manual as well as a knowledge of the project you are attempting. Before use of this product, familiarize yourself with all operating features and safety rules. The blower has a powerful 30cc engine with sufficient power to handle tough jobs.
ASSEMBLY WARNING: Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire before installing parts, making adjustments, cleaning, or when not in use. Failure to do so could result in possible serious personal injury. ASSEMBLING THE BLOWER TUBES See Figure 2. � Screw the nozzle onto the blower tube and tighten securely. Check tightness after initial run and retighten if needed. Place clamp around the neck of the blower housing outlet. Do not tighten the knob yet.
OPERATION FILLING THE TANK WARNING: WARNING: Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury. Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive. A fire or explosion from gasoline will burn you and others. Always stop the engine before filling the fuel tank. Never add fuel to a machine with a running or hot engine. Move at least 30 ft. from the refueling area before starting engine.
OPERATION STARTING AND STOPPING THROTTLE TRIGGER See Figures 3 - 4. Starting the product differs depending on whether the engine is cold or warm. To start a cold engine: Set switch to ON. PRIMER BULB Push the primer bulb, slowly, 8 times. Set the choke lever to FULL. Squeeze throttle trigger fully (thru next 2 steps) and pull starter handle sharply (no more than 4 times). Set the choke lever to HALF. Pull the starter rope until the engine runs (no more than 6 times).
OPERATION � Check your equipment before operation, especially the muffler, air intakes, and air filters. � Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing. WIDE SWEEPER NOZZLE � In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces when water is available. � Watch out for children, pets, open windows or freshly washed cars, and blow debris safely away. � Use the full blower nozzle extension so the air stream can work close to the ground.
MAINTENANCE REPLACING AND CLEANING THE AIR FILTER WARNING: When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage. See Figure 8. For proper performance and long life, keep air filter clean. Loosen the knob on the air filter cover. Remove the cover. Remove the air filter and clean it in warm soapy water. Rinse and let dry completely.
MAINTENANCE SPARK ARRESTOR The muffler is equipped with a spark arrestor screen inside muffler body. After extended use the screen can become dirty and you may need to have the muffler replaced by an authorized servicing dealer. The fuel cap contains a non-serviceable filter and a check valve. A clogged fuel filter will cause poor engine performance. If performance improves when the fuel cap is loosened, the check valve may be faulty or filter clogged. Replace the fuel cap if required.
TROUBLESHOOTING IF THESE SOLUTIONS DO NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM CONTACT YOUR AUTHORIZED SERVICE DEALER. PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE Engine will not start 1. No spark. SOLUTION 1. Check spark. Remove spark plug. Reattach the spark plug cap and lay spark plug on metal cylinder. Pull the rope and watch for spark at spark plug tip. If there is no spark, repeat test with a new spark plug. 2. Push primer bulb until bulb is full of fuel. If bulb does not fill, primary fuel delivery system is blocked.
