Daily Maintenance

■ Remove all dirt and debris from
blower exterior and the engine.
Check the cooling fins and air
cleaner for clogging and clean
as necessary.
■ Inspect the engine, tank, and hoses
for possible fuel leaks, and repair
as necessary.
■ Inspect the entire blower for loose,
damaged, or missing components,
and repair as necessary.
■ Carefully remove any accumulations
of dirt or debris from the muffler and
fuel tank. Dirt build-up in these areas
can lead to engine overheating, fire
or premature wear.

Dirty or damaged cooling system
components may allow the engine
to overheat, possibly causing
serious engine damage!
CAUTION!
Operating the blower with loose,
missing, or damaged components
could allow the engine to
