OIL AND FUEL MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Old and/or improperly mixed fuel are the main reasons for the unit not running properly. Be sure to use
fresh, clean unleaded fuel. Follow the instructions carefully for the proper fuel/oil mixture.
Definition of Blended Fuels
Today's fuels are often a blend of gasoline and oxygenates such as ethanol, methanol, or MTBE (ether).
Alcohol-blended fuel absorbs water. As little as 1% water in the fuel can make fuel and oil separate. It
forms acids when stored. When using alcohol-blended fuel, use fresh fuel (less than 60 days old).
Using Blended Fuels
If you choose to use a blended fuel, or its use is unavoidable, follow recommended precautions:
• Always use the fresh fuel mix explained in your operator's manual
• Always agitate the fuel mix before fueling the unit
• Drain the tank and run the engine dry before storing the unit
Using Fuel Additives
The bottle of 2-cycle oil that came with your unit contains a fuel additive which will help inhibit corrosion
and minimize the formation of gum deposits. It is recommended that you use our 2-cycle oil with this unit.
If unavailable, use a good 2-cycle oil de-signed for air-cooled engines along with a fuel additive, such as
STA-BIL® Gas Stabilizer or an equivalent. Add 0.8 oz. (23 ml.) of fuel additive per gallon of fuel according
to the instructions on the container. NEVER add fuel additives directly to the unit's fuel tank.
Thoroughly mix the proper ratio of 2-cycle engine oil with
unleaded gasoline in a separate fuel can. Use a 40:1 fuel/oil
ratio. Do not mix them directly in the engine fuel tank. See the
table below for specific gas and oil mixing ratios.
NOTE: One gallon (3.8 liters) of unleaded gasoline mixed
with one 3.2 oz. (95 ml.) bottle of 2-cycle oil makes
a 40:1 fuel/oil ratio.
NOTE: Dispose of the old fuel/oil mix in accordance to
Federal, State and Local regulations.
MIXING RATIO - 40:1
UNLEADED GAS 2 CYCLE OIL
1 GALLON US
(3.8 LITERS)
3.2 FL. OZ.
(95 ml)
1 LITER 25 ml
CAUTION:
For proper engine operation and maximum reliability, pay strict attention to
the oil and fuel mixing instructions on the 2-cycle oil container. Using improperly mixed
fuel can severely damage the engine.
WARNING:
Gasoline is extremely flammable.
Ignited vapors may explode. Always stop the engine
and allow it to cool before filling the fuel tank. Do not
smoke while filling the tank. Keep sparks and open
flames at a distance from the area.
WARNING:
Remove fuel cap slowly to avoid injury from fuel spray. Never operate the
unit without the fuel cap securely in place.
WARNING:
Add fuel in a clean, well ventilated outdoor area. Wipe up any spilled fuel
immediately. Avoid creating a source of ignition for spilt fuel. Do not start the engine until
fuel vapors dissipate.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury,
always remove the vacuum bag prior to refueling
the unit. The bag may become a fire hazard
when saturated with fuel.

the fifth pull, proceed to step 6 (Fig. 11).
NOTE: The engine will not run with the choke lever in
Position 1 (Fig 10).
NOTE:The unit uses Spring Assist Starting™, which
significantly reduces the effort required to start the
engine. You must pull the starter rope out far enough
to hear the engine attempt to start. There is no need
to pull the rope briskly- there is no harsh resistance
when pulling. Be aware that this starting method is
vastly different from (and much easier than) what you may be used to.
6. Move the choke lever to Position 2, (Fig. 10).
7. Pull the starter rope out with a controlled and steady motion until the unit starts. (Fig. 11)
8. Keep the throttle control in the fast position ( ) and let the engine warm up for 15 to 30
seconds.
NOTE: Engine may take longer to warm up and reach maximum operating speed at cooler
temperatures.
9. Once the engine is warmed up, move the choke lever to Position 3, (Fig. 10). The unit is
ready for use.

Blower Operating Procedures
Hold the blower as shown in Figures 14, 15, and 16. Sweep from side to
side with the nozzle several inches above the ground or floor. Slowly
advance the unit, keeping the accumulated pile of debris in front of you.
Most dry blowing operations are better suited to low speeds, rather
than high. High speed blowing is a better way to move heavier items
like large debris or gravel.
1 Use the blower for trees, shrubs, flower beds and hard-to-
clean areas (Fig. 14).
2. Use the unit around buildings and for other normal cleaning
procedures (Fig. 15).
3. Use the blower around walls, overhangs, fences and
screens (Fig. 16).

Use the unit for vacuuming up light debris like leaves and paper.
Hold the vacuum, tilting the suction tube slightly (2-4 in or 50-100 mm),
and use a sweeping action to collect light debris (Fig. 17). The debris
will flow into the vacuum bag. Items such as small leaves and small
twigs will be mulched as they pass through the fan housing, allowing
the vacuum bag to hold more debris.
When the bag is full, suction will noticeably decrease. Turn off the
unit before removing the bag. Remove and unzip the bag and
empty the contents before continuing.
NOTE: Empty the bag after each use to avoid deterioration
and obstructing air flow, which will reduce the
performance of the vacuum.

2. Place the round opening of the patio head into the round
vacuum opening (Fig. 19).
3. Press down until the patio head seats into place.
Operation
Hold the vacuum, tilting the blower/vacuum tube down. The Patio Head
should roll without scraping, adjust the angle of the tube so that the Patio
Head opening runs parallel to the ground. Use a forward and backward
motion to vacuum up debris (Fig. 20). Small leaves and twigs will flow into
the vacuum bag and be mulched as they pass through the fan housing,
allowing the vacuum bag to hold more debris. DO NOT attempt to
vacuum up materials that are larger than the Patio Head Openings.
When the bag is full, suction will noticeably decrease. Turn off the
unit before removing the bag. Unzip the bag and empty the
contents before continuing.

tubes and guards are in place and secure.
• Always hold the unit with both hands when operating. Keep a
firm grip on both the front and rear handle or grips.
• To reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with sound
level(s), hearing protection is required.
• Operate power equipment only at reasonable hours— not early in the morning or late at night when
people might be disturbed. Comply with times listed in local ordinances. Usual recommendations are
9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Saturday.
• To reduce noise levels, limit the number of pieces of equipment used at any one time.
• To reduce noise levels, operate power blowers at the lowest possible speed to do the job.
• Check your equipment before operation, especially the muffler, air intakes and air filters.
• Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
• In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces or use a mister attachment when water is available.
• 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.
• Watch out for children, pets, open windows or freshly washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
• Use the full blower nozzle extension so the air stream can work close to the ground.
• Clean up after using blowers and other equipment. Dispose of debris appropriately.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Perform these required maintenance procedures at the frequency stated in the table. These procedures
should also be a part of any seasonal tune-up.
NOTE: Some maintenance procedures may require special tools or skills. If you are unsure about
these procedures take your unit to any non-road engine repair establishment, individual or

cover (Fig. 21). Use a T20 Torx bit screwdriver.
2. Pull the cover from the engine. Do not force.
Cleaning the Air Filter
Clean and re-oil the air filter every 10 hours of operation. It is an important
item to maintain. Failure to maintain your air filter properly can result in
poor performance or can cause permanent damage to your engine.
1. Remove air filter/muffler cover. Refer to Removing the Air
Filter/Muffler Cover.
2. Turn cover over and look inside to locate the air filter.
Remove the air filter from inside the air filter/muffler cover
(Fig. 22).
3.
Wash the filter in detergent and water (Fig. 23). Rinse the filter
thoroughly. Squeeze out excess water. Allow it to dry completely.
4. Apply enough clean SAE 30 oil to lightly coat the filter (Fig. 24).
5. Squeeze the filter to spread and remove excess oil (Fig. 25).
6. Replace the air filter inside the air filter/muffler cover (Fig. 22).
NOTE: Operating the unit without the air filter and air
filter/muffler cover assembly will VOID the warranty.
Reinstalling the Air Filter/Muffler Cover
1. Place the air filter/muffler cover over the back of the
carburetor and muffler. Align the screw holes.
NOTE: The choke lever must be in Position 2 (Fig. 21) to
install the air filter/muffler cover.
2. Insert the four (4) screws into the holes in the air
filter/muffler cover (Fig. 21) and tighten.
Do not over tighten.
SPARK ARRESTOR MAINTENANCE
NOTE: The exhaust can only flow in one direction: AWAY
from the engine. Pay close attention when
disassembling the muffler so you can put it back
together correctly. Failure to do so will damage the
unit and may cause serious personal injury.
1. Remove air filter/muffler cover. Refer to Removing the Air
Filter/Muffler Cover.
2.
Locate the muffler, but do not remove it. Find the two (2) screws
on the bottom of the muffler (Fig. 26). These two screws hold the
Spark Arrestor Hood Assembly and the spark arrestor screen to
the bottom of the muffler. Remove the two (2) screws using either
a torx #20 or flat blade screwdriver.
3.
Using a small flat blade screwdriver, carefully pry up the spark
arrestor screen from the recessed hole, taking care to notice that
the “raised” part of the spark arrestor screen is inside the recessed
hole. Remove the spark arrestor screen from the muffler.
4. Clean the spark arrestor screen with a wire brush. Replace
it if it is damaged, or if you are unable to clean it thoroughly.
5. Reinstall the spark arrestor screen by putting the “raised”
portion of the screen inside the recessed hole of the muffler.
Make sure that the spark arrestor screen fits flat against the
muffler.
6. Place the spark arrestor plate on top of the spark arrestor
with the “raised” side up and the opening facing towards the engine (Fig. 26).
7. Place the spark arrestor hood on top of the spark arrestor plate with the “raised” side up and the opening
facing AWAY from the engine (Fig. 26). Verify that the exhaust will be directed AWAY from the engine.
8. Replace the two screws you removed in Step 2 and tighten them securely.
9. Reinstall the air filter/muffler cover.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT
The idle speed of the engine is adjustable through the air filter/muffler cover (Fig. 27).
NOTE: Careless adjustments can seriously damage your unit. An authorized service dealer should
make carburetor adjustments.
Check Fuel Mixture
Old and/or improperly mixed fuel is usually the reason for improper unit performance. Drain and refill the
tank with fresh, properly-mixed fuel prior to making any adjustments. Refer to Oil and Fuel Information.
Clean Air Filter
The condition of the air filter is important to the operation of the unit. A dirty air filter will restrict air flow
and change the air/fuel mixture. This is often mistaken for an out of adjustment carburetor. Check the
condition of the air filter before adjusting the idle speed screw. Refer to Air Filter Maintenance.
Adjust Idle Speed Screw
If after checking the fuel mixture and cleaning the air filter the engine still will not idle, adjust the idle speed
adjuster as follows.
1. Start the engine and let it run at the fast position for a minute to warm up.
2.
Set the blower/vacuum mode Quickshift®lever to the up position (Blower Mode). Refer to Operating as a Blower.
NOTE: Setting the lever to the blower mode prevents the vacuum bag from filling up while starting or
running the unit.
3. Move the throttle control and let the engine idle. If the engine stops, insert a small phillips
screwdriver into the hole in the air filter/muffler cover (Fig. 27). Turn the idle speed adjuster in,
clockwise, 1/8 of a turn at a time (as needed) until the engine idles smoothly.
4. If the unit appears to be idling too fast, turn the idle speed adjuster counterclockwise 1/8 of a turn
at a time (as needed), to reduce idle speed.
Checking the fuel mixture, cleaning the air filter, and adjusting the idle speed should solve most engine problems.
If not and all of the following are true:
• the engine will not idle
• the engine hesitates or stalls on acceleration
• there is a loss of engine power
Have the carburetor adjusted by an authorized service dealer.
REPLACING THE SPARK PLUG
Use spark plug P/N 791-610311B, or equivalent. The correct air
gap is 0.025 inch (0.635 mm). Remove the plug after every 25
hours of operation and check its condition.
1. Stop the engine and allow it to cool. Grasp the plug wire
firmly and pull it from the spark plug.
2. Clean around the spark plug. Remove the spark plug from the cylinder head by turning a 5/8-inch
socket counterclockwise.
3. Replace a cracked, fouled or dirty spark plug. Set the air gap at 0.025 inch (0.635 mm) using a
feeler gauge (Fig. 28).
4. Install a correctly-gapped spark plug in the cylinder head. Tighten by turning the 5/8-inch socket
clockwise until snug.
If using a torque wrench torque to: 110-120 in.•lb. (12.3-13.5 N•m)
Do not over tighten.
CLEANING THE UNIT
Use a small brush to clean off the outside of the unit. Do not use strong detergents. Household cleaners
that contain aromatic oils such as pine and lemon, and solvents such as kerosene, can damage plastic
housing or handle. Wipe off any moisture with a soft cloth.
CLEANING THE VACUUM BAG
1. Empty the bag after each use to avoid deterioration and obstructing air flow, which will reduce the
performance of the vacuum.
2. Wearing eye protection and a dust mask, clean the bag as needed. Turn the bag inside out after
initial emptying and vigorously shake out dust and debris.
3. Wash the bag once a year or more often if needed:
a. Remove the vacuum bag.
b. Turn bag inside out.
c. Hang it up.
d. Hose it down thoroughly.
e. Hang to dry.
f. Turn bag right-side out and reinstall.
STORAGE
• Never store a fueled unit where fumes may reach an open flame or spark.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing.
• Store the unit locked up to prevent unauthorized use or damage.
