OPERATEYOUR UNIT SAFELY
WARNING: Stop the engine before
opening the vacuum inlet door. The engine
must be stopped and the impeller blades no
longer turningto avoid serious injury from the
rotating blades.
D This garden blower/vacuum is only designed
for blowing away or removal of leaves and
other debris on the ground.
D Inspect unit before each use for worn, loose,
missing, or damaged parts. Do not use until
unit is in proper working order.
D Keep outside surfaces free of oil and fuel.
D Never start or run engine inside a closed
room or building. Breathing exhaust fumes
can kill.
D Mufflers fitted with catalytic converters get
very hot during use and remain so for some
time after stopping. This also applies at idle
speed. Contact can result inburns to theskin.
Remember the risk of fire!
D To avoid static electricity shock, do not wear
rubber gloves or any other insulated gloves
while operating unit.
D Do notsetunit onany surface exceptaclean,
hard area while engine is running. Debris
such as gravel, sand, dust, grass, etc. could
be picked up by the air intake and thrown out
through discharge opening, damaging unit,
property, orcausing serious injury tobystanders or operator.
D Avoid dangerous environments. Do notusein
unventilated areas orwhereexplosive vapors
or carbon monoxide build up could be present.
D Do not overreach or use from unstable sur-
faces such as ladders, trees, steep slopes,
rooftops, etc. Keepfirm footing andbalanceat
all times.
D Never place objects inside the blower tubes;
always direct the blowing debris away from
people, animals,glass, andsolid objects such
as trees, automobiles, walls, etc. The force of
air can cause rocks, dirt, or sticks to be
thrown ortoricochet which can hurt peopleor
animals, breakglass, orcause otherdamage.
D Never run unit without the proper equipment
attached. When using your unit as a blower,
always install blower tubes. When using your
unit as a vacuum, always install vacuum
tubes and vacuum bag assembly. Make sure
vacuum bag assembly is completely zipped.
D Check airintake opening,blower tubes, vacu-
um tubes, and elbow tube frequently, always
with engine stopped and spark plug disconnected. Keep vents and discharge tubes free
of debris which can accumulate and restrict
proper air flow.
D Never place any object in the airintakeopen-
ing as this could restrict proper air flow and
cause damage to the unit.
D Neveruseforspreadingchemicals, fertilizers,
or other substances which may contain toxic
materials.
D Toavoid spreading fire,donot use nearleafor
brush fires, fireplaces, barbecue pits, ashtrays, etc.
D Use only for jobs explained in this manual.
MAINTAIN YOUR UNIT PROPERLY
D Have all maintenance other than the recom-
mended procedures described in the instruction manual performed by an authorized service dealer.
D Disconnect spark plug before performing
maintenance except for carburetor adjustments.
D Use onlyrecommended Partnerrepla cement
parts; use of any other parts may void your
warranty and cause damage to your unit.
D Empty fuel tank before storing the unit. Use
upfuelleftincarburetor by starting engineand
letting it run until it stops.
D Do not use any accessory or attachment
other than those recommended by manufacturer for use with your unit.
D Do not store the unit or fuel in a closed area
where fuel vapors can reach sparks or an
open flame from hot water heaters, electric
motor s or switch es,furnaces, etc.
D Store in a dry area out of reach of children.
D Secure the machine during transport.
SAFETY NOTICE: Exposure to vibrations
through prolonged use of gasoline powered
hand tools could cause blood vessel or nerve
damage in thefingers, hands, andjointsofpeople prone to circulation disorders or abnormal
swelling. Prolonged use in cold weather has
been linked to blood vessel damage in otherwise healthy people.If symptoms occur such as
numbness, pain,loss ofstrength, changeinskin
color or texture, or loss of feeling in the fingers,
hands, or joints, discontinue the use of this tool
and seek medical attention. An antivibration
system does not guarantee the avoidance of
these problems.Users whooperate power tools
on a continual and regular basis must monitor

OPERATING TIPS
S While vacuuming or blowing debris, hold
the unit with the muffler side facing away
from yourbodyand clothes (seeOPERATING POSITION).
S To reduce the risk of hearing loss
associated with sound level(s), hearing
protection is required.
S To reduce the risk of injury associated with
contacting rotating parts, stop the engine before installing or removing attachments. Do
not operate without guard(s) in place.
S Operate power equipment only atreasonable
hours- -not early in the morning or late at night
when peoplem ightbe disturbed. Comply with
times listed in localordinances. Usual recommendations are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,
Monday though Saturday.
S To reduce noise levels, limit the number of
pieces of equipment used at any one time.
S To reduce noise levels, operate power
blowers at the lowest possible throttle
speed to do the job.
S Use rakes andbrooms toloosendebris be-
fore blowing.
S In dusty conditions, slightly dampen sur-
faces orusea mister attachment whenwater is available.
S 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.
S Watchoutforchildren, pets,open windows,
or freshly washed cars. Blow debris away
safely.
S Use thefullblower nozzleextension sothe
air stream can work close to the ground.
S After using blowers and other equipment,
CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris in trash receptacles.

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
WARNING: Be sure to read the fuel
information in the safety rules before you
begin. If you do not understand the safety
rules, donot attemptto fuelyour unit. Contact
an authorized service dealer.
FUELING ENGINE
WARNING: Remove fuel cap slowly
when refueling.
This engine is certified to operate on
unleaded petrol. Before operation, petrol
must be mixed with a good quality 2-cycle
air-cooled engineoil. Werecommend Partner
brand oil mixed at a ratio of 40:1 (2.5%). A
40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 5 liters of
unleaded petrol with 0,125 liter of oil. When
mixing fuel, follow theinstructions printed on
the container. Always read and follow the
safety rules before fueling your unit.
IMPORTANT
Experience indicates that alcohol blended
fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or
methanol)canattract moisturewhichleads to
separation andformation ofacids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system
of anengine whilein storage. To avoid engine
problems, empty the fuelsystem beforestorage for30days or longer.Drainthe gas tank,
start theengine andlet itrun untilthefuellines

4. Allow filter to dry.
5. Apply a few drops of oil to the filter;
squeeze filter to distribute oil.
6. Replace parts.
REPLACE SPARK PLUG
Replace spark plug each year to ensure the
engine starts easier and runs better. Set
spark plug gap at 0.6 mm. Ignition timing is
fixed, nonadjustable.

Note 1: Noise emissions in the environment measured as sound power (L
with EC directive 2000/14/EC. Reported sound power level for the machine has been measured with the original cutting attachment that gives the highest level. The difference between
guaranteed and measured sound power is that the guaranteed sound power also includes
dispersion in the measurement result and the variations between different machines of the
same model according to Directive 2000/14/EC.
Note 2: Reported data for equivalent sound pressure level for the machine has a typical
statistical dispersion (standard deviation) of 1 dB(A).
Note 3: Reported data for equivalent vibration level has a typical statistical dispersion (standard deviation) of 1 m/s
