Before starting
Check the following points before starting the
engine:
• That the fuel system is not leaking.

with the safety devices and accessories
undamaged and correctly fi tted.
• That all screw unions are properly
tightened.
• That all moving parts can move freely and

Refi lling fuel
WARNING!
• Risk of personal injury. Petrol is highly
fl ammable and can in some circumstances
be explosive.
• Do not smoke when refuelling, or when
using the machine.
• Switch off the engine and allow the leaf
blower to cool before fi lling up with fuel.
• Fill up with fuel outdoors or in a well-
ventilated area.
• The fuel mixing ratio is 40:1 (40 parts of
petrol to 1 part of two-stroke oil).
• Move the leaf blower at least 3 metres
from the fi lling point before starting the
engine.
1. Carefully clean the area around the fuel
cap to avoid impurities getting into the fuel
tank.
2. Shake the fuel container before fi lling.
3. Open the cap slowly to relieve any
overpressure.
4. Carefully pour the fuel in the tank. Do not
fi ll more than to the bottom edge of the
fi ller tube, so that the fuel can expand.
5. Replace the fuel cap and fi rmly tighten.
6. Clean the area around the fuel cap.
7. Check that the tank and fuel lines are not
leaking fuel.

4. Pull the starter handle 3–5 times to start
the engine. Pull the starter cord slowly until
it catches (10–15 cm) and then pull it out
fully a few times, to turn the engine over
and distribute the oil.
5. When the engine has started, wait a few
seconds and put the choke in the open
position
.
6. Switch off the engine immediately by
putting the engine switch in the OFF
position if there is a problem while working.

NOTE:
• See troubleshooting chart if the engine
does not start after several attempts.
• Always pull the starter handle straight
out. If the handle is pulled at an angle the
cord will rub against the guide and get
worn. Keep a fi rm grip on the handle and
move it slowly back to its original position.
