• Never place flammable material close the the
engine muffler.
• Never operate the blower-vac without a
properly functioning muffler and spark arres-
tor installed.

dition.
• Do not use petrol which contains ethanol or
methanol as it may damage the fuel lines and

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
STARTING A COLD ENGINE
1. Make sure ignition
switch (A) is in the ON (I)
position.
2. Pump primer bulb 10
times by pressing up on
the bulb (D).
3. Your unit is designed
with a 3 position choke:
full choke, partial choke,
and run. Move choke lever
to full choke position.
4. With the unit on the
ground, hold the top assist
handle and step on the bottom of the frame
with foot.
5. Pull starter rope 4-6 times, if unit does not
start move choke lever to position 2 and pull
4-6 more times.Wait 10 sec. after unit starts
then move choke lever to position 3.
6. Push the Lock-out (C) button and press throt-
tle trigger (B) to run.
NOTE: If engine fails to start after repeated at-
tempts, refer to Troubleshooting section.
NOTE: Always pull starter rope straight out.
Pulling starter at an angle will cause rope to
rub against the eyelet. This friction will cause
the rope to fray and wear more quickly. Always
hold starter handle when rope retracts. Never
let a rope snap back from extended position.
This could cause rope to snag or fray and also
damage the starter assembly.
IMPORTANT IDLING INFORMATION
In some cases due to operating conditions (alti-
tude, temperature etc.) your blower may need
a slight adjustment to the idle speed. After
warm up, if unit does not Idle after restarting
2 times, follow these steps to adjust idle.
1. Locate the idle adjustment screw (G) on the
carburetor.
2. Using a Phillips or slot-
ted screwdriver, turn
screw 1/4 to 1/2 turn clock-
wise (to the right).Unit

fences, and screens.
4. We recommend that a face mask be worn
when operating blower in dusty areas.
5. Stand away from the debris, at a distance
that will easily allow you to control the direc-
tion of blown debris. Never blow debris in di-
rection of bystanders.
