• Fuel goes off fairly quickly. If you find your blower
does not start, 1st change the fuel in the tank with newly
purchased fuel.

Operation safety instructions
WARNING.
Stop the engine and unplug the spark plug
before any repairs or maintenance operations.
• Check that all nuts, bolts and screws are well
tightened before every use.
• Do not run the engine in an enclosed and/or poorly
ventilated area. The gas of the engine contains carbon
monoxide, which is dangerous to your health.
• Work only when there is sufficient light.
• Do not use the blower when it is raining or when the
grass is wet.
• Caution must be taken while blowing on slopes.
• Turn off the engine if you must leave the blower
unattended.
• Never change the rated speed of the engine in any way.
• Stop the engine and remove the spark plug cover in
these cases:
- Before any maintenance, repairing or checking operations.
- If you leave the blower unattended.
- If the blower vibrates in an abnormal way, take the
blower to an authorized service centre.
- Check the bolts and nuts regularly. Bolts and nuts may
vibrate loose over time.
WARNING. Fuel is highly flammable.
• Keep fuel in a jerry can specially made for
this purpose.
• Fill the fuel tank with a funnel and outside. Do not
smoke or use a mobile phone during this process.
• Fill with fuel and oil before starting the engine.
Never open the cap of the fuel tank to add gasoline while
the engine is running or still hot.
• Do not start the engine if there is spilt fuel on the
blower or in the area surrounding. Take the blower
away from the zone where fuel has been split and
avoid any contact from a hot source as long as the split
gasoline is completely evaporated.
• Tighten the fuel tank cap and jerry can cap tightly.
Additional safety rules for petrol blowers
• Do not operate in a hazardous location. Such areas
include where there is a risk of explosion of petrol fumes,
leaking gas or explosive dust.
• Do not operate in a confined area. Exhaust gases,
smoke or fumes could reach dangerous concentrations.
• Protect your blower. This blower is NOT WEATHERPROOF
and should not be exposed to direct sunlight, high ambient
temperature and damp, wet or high humidity conditions.
• Do not smoke while refuelling. This is potentially
dangerous as it may ignite the fuel and cause an explosion.
• Take care not to spill fuel. When refuelling the blower
ensure that the motor has been switched off. Prevent the
spilling of fuel as this may also ignite with the hot motor.
Never refuel whilst the engine running.
• Be careful where you store the blower. Store the blower
in a dry area away from flammable liquids.
• Keep your distance. The blower emits exhaust fumes.
Ensure bystanders keep a safe distance.
• Ensure you use oil-mix fuel. Ensure that you mix 40 parts
unleaded fuel to 1 part engine grade oil. If not, the engine
will overheat and cause damage to your blower.
• Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel tank when engine
is running or hot. Do not smoke when filling fuel tank.
• Stop the engine before re-fuelling.
