Poor Blower Performance
•
CHECK THE AIR FILTER FOR
CLEANLINESS, CLEAN IF DIRTY- REFER
TO PAGE 5.2.
•
IF THE BLOWER IS A BELT-DRIVE, MAKE
SURE THE BELT(S) IS/ARE TIGHT. REFER
TO PAGE 5.4 FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON
CHECKING AND TIGHTENING THE
BELT(S).
•
IF THE BLOWER IS A DIRECT-DRIVE,
MAKE SURE THE BLADE IS TIGHT. REFER
TO PAGE 5.6
•
IF THE FUEL IS MORE THEN TWO MONTHS
OLD, REPLACE THE FUEL WITH FRESH
FUEL.
Blower Movement or “Walking”
•
ADJUST THE RUBBER FOOTPADS ON THE
BACK OF THE BLOWER BY TURNING
THEM EITHER IN OR OUT. ADJUST THE
SIDE THAT IS WALKING. THIS WILL HELP
TO EVENLY DISTRIBUTE THE WEIGHT OF
THE BLOWER TO ALL FOUR POINTS OF
THE FRAME.
•
MOST BLOWERS WILL WALK IF NOT
RUNNING AT FULL SPEED, MAKE SURE
THE BLOWER IS RUNNING AT FULL
SPEED.
•
MAKE SURE THE BLOWER IS SITTING
FLAT AND NOT ON SMALL ROCKS OR
OTHER OBJECTS
