Instruction Manual
FUEL & OIL MIXTURE
Fuel & its vapors are very flammable. Do not use or fuel the machine near a flame, sparks or while smoking.
Allow the engine to cool for more than 2 minutes, before re-fueling. Never fuel the machine with the engine
running. Fuel the engine at least 3 metres away from your work area. Always fuel your machine outdoors.
FUEL MIXTURE
THE MACHINE SHOULD USE A 40:1 UNLEADED PETROL TO TWO STROKE SYNTHETIC OR SEMI SYNTHETIC OIL
MIXTURE RATIO. USE GOOD QUALITY UNLEADED FUEL ONLY WITH AN OCTANE OF 89 OR ABOVE.
Operating the engine with insufficient oil within your fuel mixture, can have catastrophic consequences. Any
failure caused by insufficient oil, will not be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
40:1 FUEL MIXTURE RATIO
Unleaded Petrol
(litre)
Two Stroke Synthetic or
Semi-Synthetic Oil
(ml)
1 25
2 50
3 75
4 100
5 125
The mixture should be shaken prior to entering the machine fuel tank.
Fuel which is older than 30 days old can become stale and cause acid & gum deposits in the fuel system or
essential carburettor components. This could result in starting issues which would not be covered by your
manufacturer’s warranty.
To keep fuel fresh, we recommend you use SURE-START FUEL ADDITIVE (HP-199) from Handy Parts. A fuel
additive added to your fuel at the time of mixture, will help make your machine easier to start, extend the
shelf life of your fuel mixture for up to two years, keeps the carburettor & engine clean, plus reduces emissions
and increases fuel economy. A 250ml bottle of SURE-START FUEL ADDITIVE will treat 25 litres of fuel mix
Only use 2-stroke air cooled engine oil. DO NOT USE automotive or marine oil.
It is recommended that you use a Fuel Mixing Bottle, to ensure the correct fuel mixture is used with your
machine. We recommend HANDY PARTS – FUEL MIXING BOTTLE (HP-120).
IMPORTANT
Ensure that any stored petrol/oil mixture is clearly marked in a separate appropriate canister for a
maximum of 4-6 weeks if not mixed with a fuel additive. If the machine is not going to be used for a long
period, drain the mixture from the fuel tank, start the engine and drain the carburetor of any remaining fuel.
(See Maintenance for further instruction). Dispose of any unwanted 2-stroke mixture at an authorised
recycling point.
FUELING THE MACHINE
Place the machine onto a solid flat surface, ensuring the engine is not running.
Unscrew the fuel cap slowly and fill the fuel tank with your fuel mixture to a maximum of 80% capacity. This
will allow the fuel tank to expand. Fasten the fuel cap tightly, being careful not to cross-thread. This will also
prevent loosening through vibration during use. Wipe away any spillage, with an appropriate material.
If the machine has continued leaks, the product should not be started. Never use the machine with damaged
ignition cable or spark plug cap, as there is a risk of sparks.
OPERATION
DANGER
DANGER ZONE - WITHIN 15 METRES OF USER
RISK ZONE - GREATER THAN 15 METRES OF USER
All model Blowers can throw small stones, metal or small objects as well as material. Do not allow anyone to
enter the operating DANGER ZONE with you. The danger zone is an area 15 metres in radius.
Insist that persons in the RISK ZONE beyond the danger zone wear eye protection from thrown objects. If
the unit must be used where there are unprotected people, operate at a low throttle speed to reduce the
risk of thrown objects. Turn the machine off, if approached by any bystander, child or animal.
GENERAL USE
WARNING
Prior to using the machine, ensure all hardware (bolts, screws & nuts) are securely tightened.
• Operate the trigger with your right hand & hold the Lower Handle with your left hand.
• The trigger increases and decreases the power of the engine to the attachment, increasing the
revolution/reciprocation of the shredder fan.
WORKING PLAN
•
Blow material to a safe collection point, away from stones and other hard debris, which could damage the
shredding fan within the machine.
• Limit the amount of time the product is used continuously to a maximum of 40 minutes per session.
• Leave the machine to rest between sessions for between 10-20 minutes.
• Total amount of work performed per day with the machine, should be limited to 120 minutes maximum.
• Continuous use of the machine can cause “Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI)”. If you feel discomfort, redness or
swelling of your hands and fingers or any other body part, consult your doctor.
•
Check local regulations for sound level and hours of operation constraints.
• Never transport the machine, whilst the engine is running.
USING THE VACUUM
• When using the vacuum, ensure the bag is not damaged and the zip is in working order, to ensure debris is
not thrown.
• When the bag is full, open the zip on the bag and tip the contents into a recycling bin or compost heap.
USING THE BLOWER
• Always be aware of the strength and direction of the air stream.
•
Never direct the blower towards period or animals.
