REGULAR MAINTENANCE

Before each use, the power blower should be inspected for proper assembly and fitness of all
components.  All fasteners should be checked for correct tightness.  Always inspect for fuel  leaks.

WARNING

Do not attempt to start or operate a power blower that indicates a fuel leak.

AIR FILTER

The air filter should be inspected each time the
power blower is used (or more often with extreme
conditions).
To inspect, remove the air filter cover and remove
the filter from the case.
Clean air filter(s) by gently tapping element or
cleaning with a suitabe solvent the filter should be
completely dry before using again.

SPARK PLUG

The spark plug should be removed from the engine and
checked after each fifty (50) hours of use.  The tips can be
cleaned with a stiff brush.  Adjust the gap to 0.6 - 0.7 mm (see
sketch).  Replace the spark plug if it is oil-fouled or damaged .

CAUTION!  

The correct torque for the spark plug is 12 - 17 N

m (1.2 -

1.7kg

m).  Do not over-tighten.

FUEL FILTER

The fuel filter should be cleaned and inspected for damage after each twenty (20) hours of use.
The fuel filter is attached to the fuel pick-up tube inside the fuel tank.  Loosen the clamp and take
out the fuel filter.

To clean the fuel filter, remove it from the fuel tube and wash it with safety solvent.  Inspect and
clean the fuel tank before re-installing the fuel filter.
Always replace a defective fuel filter.
