3. Wash the filter unit in hot water and a mild
detergent, and allow to dry.
NOTE:
• Never use petrol or flammable solvents to
clean the filter.
• Always replace a damaged air filter,
otherwise the engine can be damaged.
• Do not start the engine without an air filter.
Fuel filter
There is a filter in the fuel tank to prevent
impurities getting into the engine. Have the
filter replaced every year at an authorised service
centre.
Adjusting the idling speed
The idling speed must be adjusted if the engine
keeps stopping, or if the speed cannot be
controlled with the throttle lever.
1. Start the engine and run on idle for a few
minutes. Now adjust the idling speed with
the screw.

2. Turn clockwise to increase the engine speed.
3. Turn anticlockwise to reduce the engine
speed.
4. The engine should idle smoothly after
adjusting.
Cleaning and replacing the
spark plug
Check the electrode gap on the spark plug every
year, or if the engine does not run properly or
is difficult to start. The electrode gap should be
0.6–0.7 mm.
1. Wait until the engine has cooled.
2. Release the spark plug lead from the spark
plug and unscrew the spark plug with the
supplied spanner.
3. Replace the spark plug with a new one
of the same type if the electrodes are
corroded or burnt, or if there are excessive
deposits on the electrodes.
4. Deposits on the spark plug can be a result
of too much oil in the fuel mixture, poor
quality of oil, old fuel mixture, or blocked
air filter.
5. Carefully screw in the spark plug by hand to
avoid threading problems.
6. Tighten the spark plug with the spark plug
spanner.
7. If a torque wrench is used, tighten to 12–15
Nm.
8. Connect the spark plug lead to the spark
plug.

Emptying the fuel tank
The fuel tank should be emptied before putting
the leaf blower away for a long time. Empty
outdoors, or in a well-ventilated area. Allow the
engine to cool completely before emptying the
fuel tank. Use a suitable underlay, and make
sure fuel or oil does not get into the ground.
1. Place a suitable container under the fuel
tank.
2. Unscrew the fuel cap.
3. Turn the fuel tank upside down.
4. Allow the fuel to run out.
5. Replace the fuel cap and firmly tighten.
Storage
If the leaf blower is not going to be used for a
month or more, prepare it for long-term storage.
Failure to follow the storage instructions can
result in fuel in the carburettor evaporating and
leaving deposits, which can make the engine
difficult to start and lead to expensive repairs.
