OPERATION / MAINTENANCE
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Read the Operator Manual and Engine Manual.
Become familiar with the controls, how each func-
tions, and what it operates.
2. Check the engine oil level and add if necessary.
3 Fill the fuel tank with good quality, clean, unleaded
regular gasoline (petrol). Use a funnel to avoid
spilling.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Air flow can be directed to the side or front by the
two-position vertical deflector. The front discharge
position is used to remove debris from along walls,
fences, etc. The side discharge position is used to
form windrows or piles. The horizontal deflector
directs air downward to “chisel” under wet, heavy
leaves and litter. Air velocity is regulated by the
throttle setting.
To reduce windrowing or to blow over an obstacle,
point deflector upward.
To avoid blowing in an area, close deflector and
reduce throttle setting.
Slight changes in deflector position will have a big
effect on air flow. Experiment until you find the best
position for your needs.
When clearing a yard or parking lot, a little time spent
planning how to blow it off can greatly reduce the
total clearing time.
To stop the engine, move the throttle control to the
slow position and switch the engine off.
Stop the engine when moving from work site to work
site. This will save fuel and prevent inadvertently
blowing debris where you don’t want to.
NOTE: When transporting the machine by truck or
trailer, close the fuel valve. This avoids the possibil-
ity of flooding should any dirt get under the carbure-
tor float needle. Leaving the valve open can allow
severe flooding which may ruin the engine by diluting
the oil.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Stop engine and remove the spark plug wire before
performing any maintenance.
Keep blower air intake clear of debris for best
performance.
Clear air discharge area of any debris accumulation.
Ensure machine has been shut off and fan is no
longer moving before clearing.
Keep all hardware tight.
Check oil level daily. Top off as needed.
Change engine oil after the first 5 hours of operation.
Then change as recommended by the engine
manufacturer.
1. Remove drain plug and drain oil while engine is
warm.
2. Replace drain plug, remove fill plug and fill with
new oil. See engine manual for oil specification.
3. Start and run engine for 30 seconds. Stop
engine.
4. Wait 30 seconds, then re-check oil level.
5. Top off if necessary. See engine manual for
details.
