DESCRIPTION
Ground wire
S The ground wire (G) reduces static
build--up during operation in dry condi-
tions.
Inlet cover
S An inlet cover (H) is located on the side
of the fan housing. Opening this cover
allows access for cleaning and inspect-
ing the impeller. If the optional vacuum
accessory is used, the vacuum tubes
must be fitted to the opening in the inlet
cover. To open the inlet cover, use a tool
to lift the edge of the cover opposite the
hinge (indicated by arrow on inlet cover).
Cutters
S Two cutters (J) are fastened to the impel-
ler. The cutters are there to mulch leaves
and other debris that have been vacuumed
before they enter the collection bag.
Blower tube and nozzle
NOTE: The tube clamp bolt and nut must
be installed prior to initial use (see the gen-
eral description of the blower on page 6).
S
The blower tube (K) has a pegged slot
mounting system to the unit. To install or
remove the blower tube (or collection bag
tube for the optional vacuum accessory),
the tube clamp bolt must be removed.
Align slot in the blower air outlet with the
raised rib on the tube and insert tube until
the holes in the tube and housing align.
Re--insert the tube clamp bolt and tighten.
S The nozzles (L) have a bayonet mount
for connection to the blower tube. Air is
channeled through the blower tube to the
nozzles, where the air discharge velocity
increases and the air stream discharge
pattern is formed to provide best perfor-
mance. The length of the blower tube
can be adjusted by twisting the nozzle to
the left to disengage the bayonet mount
and sliding the nozzle to the appropriate
position. Twist the nozzle to the right until
a click is felt to resecure the nozzle.
Starter device and starter handle
S The starter device (M) is located on the
side of the engine shrouding and en-
gages the crankshaft only when the
starter handle (N) is pulled.
Fuel cap
S The fuel cap (O) is located at the rear of
the engine shrouding on the fuel tank
and has a seal to prevent fuel from leak-
ing out.
Air filter
S The air filter (P) consists of a fiber filter
medium in a resilient frame. The air filter
should be cleaned at specific intervals
(see Maintenance section). Otherwise,
the blower will consume too much fuel,
the performance will be reduced and an
oily deposit may form on the spark plug
electrodes.
WARNING: Never start the blower
if the inlet cover is not closed, is
damaged or cannot be closed
(except if the vacuum tube is fitted).
