OPERATION
INTENDED USE: This machine is designed for cleaning
outdoor surfaces, where the debris can be effectively
blown into a consolidated area for convenient pickup and
removal.
OPTIONAL GUST ADJUSTER KIT increases blowing
distance and blowing control. ( can be purchased
separately, see page 1 for optional accessories).
Do not operate if excessive vibration occurs. If excessive
vibration occurs, shut engine off immediately and check
for damaged or worn impeller, loose impeller bolt, loose
impeller key, loose engine or lodged foreign objects.
Deflectors adjusted upward
increases air volume and
blowing distance.
Note: See parts list for proper impeller bolt torque specifications. (See trouble shooting section on page 16).
Like all mechanical tools, reasonable care must
be used when operating machine.
Inspect machine work area and machine before operating. Make sure that all operators of this equipment are
trained in general machine use and safety.
PUT OIL IN ENGINE BEFORE STARTING
Fig. 2
16.1
STARTING
ENGINE: See engine manufacturer’s instructions
for type and amount of oil and gasoline used.
Deflectors adjusted
downward increases air
velocity for cleaning crevices
and blowing heavier debris.
Engine must be level when checking and filling oil and
gasoline.
ENGINE SPEED: Controlled by throttle lever on the handle.
Under normal conditions, operate at minimum throttle to
accomplish your current cleaning task.
STOP SWITCH: Located on engine for Push models and on
upper handle for SP models. Switch must be in "ON"
position to start engine.
FUEL VALVE: Move fuel valve to "ON" position.
CHOKE: Operated with choke lever on side of engine .
Debris in the air stream can be blown farther by adjusting
the deflectors in a consistent up-and-down motion.
Fig. 3
THROTTLE: Move remote throttle control to fast position.
Pull starting rope to start engine.
16.4
HANDLING & TRANSPORTING:
IF YOUR UNIT FAILS TO START:
See Troubleshooting on page 16.
16.2
The diverter rod controls the closing (O) and opening ( I ) of the
exhaust outlet. Adjust diverter rod to side discharge for normal
blowing or to forward discharge for blowing along walls, fences or
hard-to-reach areas (see Fig. 1).
BLOWING OPERATION
Diverter Rod
Move diverter rod to closed (O) position. Do not lift by hand. Use
loading ramps or other mechanical assistance. Secure in place during
transport.
16.5
STORAGE
Never store engine indoors or in enclosed poorly ventilated areas with fuel in tank, where fuel fumes may reach an
open flame, spark or pilot light, as on a furnace, water heater,
clothes dryer or other gas appliance.
If engine is to be unused for 30 days or more, prepare as
follows:
Be sure engine is cool. Do not smoke. Remove all
gasoline from carburetor and fuel tank to prevent gum deposits
from forming on these parts and causing possible malfunction
of engine. Drain fuel outdoors, into an approved container,
away from open flame. Run engine until fuel tank is empty and
engine runs out of gasoline.
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer (such as Sta-Bil) is an acceptable alternative in
minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add
stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container. Always follow
mix ratio found on stabilizer container. Run engine at least 10 m in.
after adding stabilizer to allow it to reach the carburetor.

16.6
PROPULSION: QB1601 self-propelled blowers are equipped
with 5 forward gears, neutral and reverse. (see TABLE 1 below)
With the engine running, and the bail in released position
select desired drive gear.(see Fig. 4) Pull bail against handle
to automatically release brake and engage drive (see Fig. 5).
Smoothly engage the bail.
Use good judgement when operating the self propelled drive.
Fifth gear is a fast walking speed and should be used only for
moving quickly from place-to-place. Using neutral, on level
terrain is advisable when maneuvering in tight areas. This
increases operator control, and can prevent bumping into
nearby objects.
Do not force-shift gears of transmission. Shift gears only when
drive is disengaged. To stop machine, release operator's bail.
To move unit by hand "freewheeling", requires that the gear
shift be in neutral (see Fig. 4), and the operator hold the drive
bail against the handle to disengage the parking brake.
PROPULSION self propelled only
When using Reverse - Set Throttle to Idle.
With operator's bail released, move shift lever past neutral
stop, by pulling the shift lever back and moving it to the right,
into "Reverse" gear position. Then smoothly pull operator's
bail against handle. Release bail to stop (see figure 5).

MAINTENANCE continued
Clear intake screens on housing and engine throughout use.
Inspect machine for loose bolts before starting engine.
Lubrication: Using S.A.E. 30 weight oil or
equivalent. See maintenance schedule.
Chain: See SP section below.
Lower Control Ends: Oil moving parts, such as
bail, and deflector door pivots.
Grease: Front wheel, and Caster(SP only).
Tire air pressure: Check at regular intervals & maintain:
Low tire pressure will make unit hard to push and turn.
Front tire at 30 psi. (21.1 kPa).
Rear push 16" tires at 30 psi. (21.1 kPa).
Rear SP 16" tires at 35 psi. (24.6 kPa).
Rear caster tire (SP only) at 30 psi (21.1 kPa)
17.3 DRIVE
Chains and Belts are normal replaceable wear items. A new
chain should not be used on worn sprockets. Sprockets
should be inspected and replaced when worn.
MAINTENANCE- SP MODELS ONLY
Brake Adjustment: As parking brake wears, the brake discs
may eventually require adjustment. To adjust, remove bottom
guard from engine base and tighten brake adjusting nut on
transmission. Adjust cable nut as required. Unit must freewheel in neutral with clutch engaged and brake off.
DO NOT OVER ADJUST.
Chain Adjustment: (See fig. 11)
1. Remove spark plug wire.
2. Remove bottom drive guard.
3. Inspect chain and sprockets for wear, lubrication and
tension. Replace if badly worn or damaged. Skip to CHAIN
REPLACEMENT
4.Check chain tension. There should be no more than 0.25"
total movement when chain is flexed from top to bottom.
5. To increase chain tension, loosen, do not remove, the bolts
that hold the bearings in place on each side and in the center
of the differential.
6. Loosen, do not remove, the Jam nut that locks the bolt into
the chain tensioner on each side of the differential.
7. With the bolts loose, equally tighten the chain tensioner bolt
on both the left and right side of the differential.
8. Adjust in small increments, checking chain alignment,
tension and axle squareness between steps. Roll wheels to
check that there are no excessively tight areas in the chain.
Repeat adjustment steps if necessary. A slightly loose chain is
better than an over tightened one.
9. With chain properly adjusted securely tighten the jam nuts,
and bearing mount bolts.
10. Reinstall drive guard.
11. Reconnect spark plug wire.
Chain Lubrication: With machine not running, oil chain using
general purpose S.A.E. 30 weight oil every 25 hours or as
needed. Chain oiling hole is located on operator's left at rear
of engine base. Note: Be sure that entire length of chain is
properly oiled. Oiling only a few positions in the chain rotation
will not properly oil the chain.
Belt Adjustment: As V-belt wears, adjustments may be
required to maintain proper clutch engagement. Adjust by
tightening or by loosening clutch cable adjusting nut as
required, located on operators left near the face of the engine
(See fig. 10). When replacing belt, see BELT REPLACEMENT.
DO NOT OVER ADJUST.
Belt Replacemment:
1. Remove impeller, follow impeller removal instructions on
page 13.
2. Remove six screws securing blower housing.
3. Inspect for worn or damaged pulleys. Replace if necessary.
4. Replace worn belt.
5. Replace housing. Note: Be sure to replace lock clip on
upper bolts in exact manner that it was originally installed.
6. Replace impeller, refer to impeller removal instructions on
page 13.
7. It may be necessary to adjust the belt engagement. See Belt
Adjustment.
Chain Replacement: (See fig. 11)
1. Remove spark plug wire.
2. Remove bottom drive guard.
3. Inspect sprockets for wear. Replace if badly worn or damaged.
4. Release chain tension. See Chain Adjustment.
5. Remove operators right and center axle bearings.
6. Remove old chain by sliding over the axle and out the hole
that the right axle bearing was mounted in.
7. Install new chain in the reverse order of removal.
8. Set chain tension. See Chain Adjustment.
9. Replace bottom drive guard.
10. Replace spark plug wire.
