6.4 BLOWER OPERATIONS
Your blower is designed to easily remove debris from
patios, walkways, lawns, bushes, etc., and many
hard to reach areas where debris may accumulate.
WARNING: Because of flying debris, always wear
American National Standards Institute (A.N.S.I.)
approved shielded safety glasses or face shield when
operating blower.
Before using your blower, review Safety Precautions
in your User Manual, and all regulations for operation
of the unit. These precautions and regulations are for
your protection.
CAUTION: Hold the blower so that hot exhaust does
not damage clothing and is not inhaled by operator.
DO NOT operate the blower with other people or
animals in the immediate vicinity. Allow a minimum of
30 feet (9 meters) between operator and other
people or animals.
We recommend that a face mask be worn when
operating blower in dusty areas.
Stand away from the debris, at a distance that will
easily allow you to control the direction of blown
debris. Never blow debris in direction of bystanders.
To control velocity of airstream, blower can be
operated at any speed between idle and full throttle.
Experience with the unit will help you determine the
amount of airflow necessary for each application.
To use the appliance:
Follow the motor starting instructions as described in
the operating instructions.
Let the motor run in idle mode and attach the
appliance as shown in Fig. 5. Make sure that nothing
is covering the exhaust pipe as this would cause heat
to build up.
Hold the handle securely with the right hand (Fig. 6)
and swing the blow pipe back and forth so that the
desired surface is freed from dirt.
The throttle lever (Fig 4a/Item 2) and the ON/OFF
switch (Fig. 4a/Item 4) are integrated in the handle
(Fig.4a/Item 1).
The throttle lever lock (Fig. 4a/Item 3) can stop the
motor at full throttle without the necessity of
constantly pressing the throttle lever. Important:
Before switching the appliance off, push the throttle
lever lock to idling mixture supply.
7. Cleaning, maintenance, storage,
transport and ordering of spare
parts
Always switch off the equipment and pull out the
spark boot plug before carrying out any maintenance
work.
7.1 Cleaning
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
n
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it
with compressed air at low pressure.
We recommend that you clean the device
n
immediately each time you have finished using it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth
n
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts
of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep
into the device.
7.2 Maintenance of the air filter (Fig. 7a-7b)
Soiled air filters reduce the engine output by supply
too little air to the carburetor.
Regular checks are therefore essential. The air filter
should be checked after every 25 hours of use and
cleaned if necessary. If the air contains a lot of dust,
the air filter should be checked more frequently.
1. Remove the air filter cover (Fig. 7a)
2. Remove the filter element (Fig. 7b)
3. Clean the filter element by tapping it or blowing
it.
4. Assemble in reverse order.
Please note: Never clean the air filter with petrol or
inflammable solvents.
Maintenance of the spark plug (Fig. 8a-8b)
Spark plug gap = 0.6 mm. Tighten the spark plug
with a torque of 12-15 Nm.
Check the spark plug for dirt and grime after 10
hours of operation and if necessary clean it with a
copper wire brush. Thereafter service the spark plug
after every 50 hours of operation.
1. Pull off the spark plug boot (Fig. 8a) by twisting.
2. Remove the spark plug (Fig. 8b) with the
supplied spark plug wrench.
3. Assemble in reverse order.
