Danger from rotating impeller 丨 Stop
the engine before installing or removing
the blower tubes! Never perform any
maintenance or assembly procedures
on this machine while the engine is
running!
WARNING!
Danger of fire! Never transfer or store
fuels in the presence of combustible
materials I Before starting the engine,
always move the blower to a clear area
at least 10-feet (3*metres) away from
fuels and other combustible materials!
CAUTION!
Never attempt to mix fuel in the blower fuel tank! Always mix all fuels in a clean, approved
container!
Some Fuel contains alcohol as an oxygenate! Oxygenated fuels may cause increased
engine operating temperatures! Under certain conditions , alcohol-based fuels may also
reduce the lubricating qualities of some mixing oils! Never use any fuel containing more
than 10% alcohol by volume! When an oxygenated fuel must be used, fuel containing an
ether-based oxygenate such as MTBE is preferred over alcohol!
Whenever possible, use 2-cycle engine oil or equivalent oil mixed at a 25-30:1 ratio. Be
aware that generic oils and some outboard mixing oils may not be intended for use in high
performance air cooled 2-cycle engines, and should never be used in your engine blower.

If necessary, repeat step 5 two or three times until the engine starts.

WHEN THE ENGINE STARTS
IMPORTANT!!
For maximum blower performance and operating life, allow the engine to warm before use.
1. Run the engine at idle speed until operating temperature is reached (2 to 3 minutes)
2. As the engine warms open the choke gradually by slowly pushing the choke control in
to the fully retracted position.
3. The blower should now be ready for use.
IF THE ENGINE DOES NOT START
Repeat the appropriate starting procedures for ‘hot’ or ‘cold’ engine. If the engine still will not
start, follow the ‘Starting a Flooded Engine procedure (below).
STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE
1. Disconnect the spark plug lead, use the
spark plug wrench to remove the plug in
a counterclockwise direction.
2. If the spark plug is fouled or is soaked
with fuel, clean or replace the plug as
required.
3. Clear excess fuel from the combustion
chamber by cranking the engine several
times while the spark plug is removed.
4. Install the spark plug and firmly tighten
it with the spark plug wrench. If a
torque wrench is available, torque the
spark plug to 148-165 inch-pounds.
Reconnect the spark plug lead.
5. Repeat the starting procedures for
6. If the engine still fails to fire or start,
refer to the troubleshooting flowchart
at the end of this manual.
Use low throttle settings when clearing lightweight materials from around lawns or
Use medium to higher throttle settings to move lightweight grass or leaves from parking
lots or walkways. Use full throttle when moving heavy loads such as dirt or snow.

IMPORTANT!
Blower noise increases at higher throttle settings! Always use the lowest throttle setting
required to get the job done!
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Daily Maintenance:
Remove dirt and debris from the blower exterior;
