Original Instructions Version July 12

Storage 

(30 days or longer)

CLEANING Thoroughly clean the machine exterior.

INSPECTION Inspect the entire machine and tubes 

for damage, including loose or missing components, 
and repair as necessary.

FUEL Drain the fuel tank, and then clear the carburetor and lines by running the

machine until it stops from lack of fuel.

LUBRICATION Remove the spark plug, and then pour approximately 1/4-oz of oil into  the  cylinder through 
the spark plug hole. Before reinstalling the spark plug, pull the recoil starter 2 or 3 times to distribute the oil 

over the cylinder walls.

AIR CLEANER Remove, clean, and reinstall  the  filter  element  as  described under “daily maintenance.”

 STORAGE  Store  the  machine  in  a clean, dry, dust-free environment.

IMPORTANT!

• 

After every use, check that all nuts, bolts and screws are securely fastened and tighten if  

 necessary.

• 

In the event of an accident, breakdown or blockage, ensure the engine is turned off  

 

before any work is carried out to rectify this.

• 

Make sure the engine has stopped and is cool before performing any service to the  

 

machine. Contact with moving parts or hot muffler may result in a personal injury.  

 

Always wear heavy-duty gloves when handling the blades.

  

Transportation

• 

Never transport the Blow/Vac with the engine running. An engine that is running could be  

 

accidently accelerated causing the implleor to engage.

• 

Make sure the blade safety guards are in place when transporting the Blow/Vac.

• 

Ensure the Blow/Vac is secure when transporting in a vehicle and the tank is drained of fuel.
