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.
