OPERATING TECHNIQUES
1.
Operate power equipment only at reasonable hours — not early in the morning or late at night when people may be disturbed. Comply with the times listed in local ordinances. Usual recommendations for hours of operation are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
2.
To reduce noise levels, limit the number of pieces of equipment used at any one time and operate power blowers at the lowest possible throttle speed to do the job.
3.
Check your equipment before operation, especially the muffler, air intakes and air filters.
4.
Use rakes or brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
5.
In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces or use a mister attachment when water is available.
6.
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.
7.
Use the full blower nozzle extension so the air stream can work close to the ground.
— 7 —
8.
Watch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly washed cars and blow debris safely away.
9.
After using blowers and other equipment, CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris in trash receptacles.

BEFORE OPERATION
FUELING
WARNING! The following precautions will lessen the risk of fire.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
• Gasoline contains gasses that can build up pressure inside a gas tank.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Fuel can be sprayed on you when removing fuel tank cap.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
• Remove fuel tank cap slowly to avoid injury from fuel spray.
DANGER
POTENTIAL HAZARD
• In certain conditions gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you, others, and cause property damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
• Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, when the engine is cold.
Wipe up any gasoline that spills.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add gasoline to the fuel tank until the level is 6 ~
13mm (1/4 ~ 1/2 inch) below the bottom of the filler neck. This empty space in the tank allows gasoline to expand.
• Never smoke when handling gasoline, and stay away from an open flame or where gasoline fumes may be ignited by a spark.
• Store gasoline in an approved container and keep it out of the reach of children.
• Never buy more than a 30-day supply of gasoline.
1.
Do not smoke near fuel.
2.
Mix and pour fuel outdoors and where there are no sparks or flames.
3.
Always shut off the engine before refueling. Never remove the fuel tank cap while the engine is running or immediately after stopping the engine.
4.
Always open the fuel tank cap slowly to release any possible pressure inside the tank.
5.
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Stop filling 6 ~ 13 mm (1/4 ~ 1/2 inch) from the top of the tank.
6.
Tighten the tank fuel cap carefully but firmly after refilling.
7.
Wipe up any spilled fuel before starting the engine.
8.
Move the Handheld Blower at least 3 m (10ft.) away from the fueling location and fuel storage container before starting the engine.

FUEL; MIXING GASOLINE AND OIL
IMPORTANT: The engine used on this Handheld Blower is of a 2-cycle design. The internal moving parts of the engine, i.e., crankshaft bearings, piston pin bearings and piston to cylinder wall contact surfaces, require oil mixed with the gasoline for lubrication. Failure to add oil to the gasoline or failure to mix oil with the gasoline at the appropriate ratio will cause major engine damage which will void your warranty. For your fuel premix, only use a quality oil designed for 2-cycle air-cooled engine.
FUEL MIXTURE: Always use a good quality 2-cycle, air-cooled engine oil mixed at a ratio of 25:1.
FUEL MIXTURE CHART:

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS: Always mix fuel and oil in a clean container approved for gasoline.
Mark the container to identify it as fuel mix for the Handheld Blower. Use regular unleaded gasoline and fill the container with half the required amount of gasoline. Pour the correct amount of oil into the container then add the remaining amount of gasoline. Close the container tightly and shake it momentarily to evenly mix the oil and the gasoline before filling the fuel tank on the Handheld
Blower.

SHAKE
(MIX OIL AND GASOLINE)
When refilling the Handheld Blower fuel tank, clean around the fuel tank cap to prevent dirt and debris for entering the tank during cap removal. Always shake the premix fuel container momentarily before filling the fuel tank.
Always use a spout or funnel when fueling to reduce fuel spillage. Only fill the tank to within 6 ~ 13 mm (1/4 ~ 1/2 inch) from the top of the tank. Avoid filling to the top of the tank filler neck.
NOTE:
1.
Never mix gasoline and oil directly in the Handheld Blower fuel tank.
2.
Do not use National Marine Manufacturer’s Association (NMMA) or BIA certified oils. This type of 2-cycle engine oil does not have the proper additives for air-cooled, 2-cycle engines and can cause engine damages.
3. Do not use automotive motor oil. This type of oil does not have the proper additives for aircooled, 2-cycle engines and can cause engine damage.

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT
This Handheld Blower is equipped with non-adjustable fuel mixture carburetor. The engine idle speed is the only adjustment for the operator.
WARNING
• Idle speed adjustment should be checked each time the unit is operated.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
• Engine must be running to make carburetor adjustments.
• When engine is running, fan is rotating and other parts are moving.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Contact with rotating fan or other moving parts could cause serious personal injury or death.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
• Keep hands, feet and clothing away from fan and other moving parts.
• Keep all bystanders and pets away from unit while making carburetor adjustments.
Wear the recommended personal protective equipment and observe all safety instructions.
Engine Idle Speed:
When the throttle trigger and the throttle setting lever is idle position the engine should return to an idle speed between 2700 and 3300 RPM. The engine should not stall (stop running) at engine idle speed.
To adjust the engine idle speed, rotate the idle speed adjustment screw on the carburetor.
• Turn the idle speed screw in (clockwise) to increase the engine idle speed.
• Turn the screw out (counterclockwise) to decrease the engine idle speed.
If idle speed adjustment is necessary, and after adjustment the engine stalls, stop using the Handheld Blower immediately!

SPARK PLUG
Maintenance Interval
• The spark plug should be removed from the engine and checked after each 25 hours of operation.
• Replace the spark plug after every 100 hours of operation.
Spark Plug Maintenance
1.
With the engine at ambient (room) temperature, twist the high tension lead boot on the spark plug back and forth a couple of times to loosen the boot, then pull the boot off of the spark plug.
2.
Remove the spark plug.
3.
Clean the electrodes with a stiff brush.
4.
Adjust the electrode air gap to 0.6- 0.7 mm
(024-.028 in).
TIPS
0.6 - 0.7 mm (0.024 - 0.02 inches)
5.
Replace the spark plug if it is oil-fouled, damaged, or if the electrodes are worn down.
6.
Do not overtighten the spark plug when installing. The tightening torque is 10.7-16.6 N·m
