OPERATION FILLING THE TANK WARNING: WARNING: Do not allow familiarity with this product to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury. Petrol is extremely flammable and explosive. A fire or explosion from petrol will burn you and others. Always shut off engine before fueling. Never add fuel to a machine with a running or hot engine. Move at least 10m from refueling site before starting engine.
OPERATION SET the choke lever to the START position. PULL the starter rope with a quick, firm and consistent motion until the engine starts. Allow engine to warm up for 5-20 seconds, then squeeze the throttle trigger to run. NOTE: Squeezing the throttle trigger releases the choke lever to the RUN position. To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of equipment used at any one time.
OPERATION Install the vacuum tubes and the bag. Refer to the Assembly section earlier in this manual. Start the blower. Refer to Starting and Stopping earlier in this manual. Place the vacuum bag strap over your right shoulder. Hold the upper handle in your left hand and the vacuum handle in your right hand. Move the blower/vacuum from side to side along outer edge of the debris. To avoid clogging, do not place the vacuum tube directly into the debris pile.
MAINTENANCE The spark arrestor must be cleaned or replaced every 50 hours or yearly to ensure proper performance of your product. Spark arrestors may be in different locations depending on the model purchased. Please contact your nearest service dealer for the location of the spark arrestor for your model.
