UNCLOGGING A CLOGGED HOSE:

With engine running and unit secured to a trailer, truck bed, or other similar surface, fully stretch hose in a straight line to dislodge the clog. If the clog will not clear, turn unit off, and allow engine to come to a complete stop. Remove hose and manually clear hose clog.

NOTE: The clogged debris may be sharp. Always wear durable gloves when removing clog.

UNCLOGGING A CLOGGED HOUSING OR EXHAUST ELBOW:

Turn engine off and wait for impeller to come to a complete stop. Disconnect spark plug wires and battery cables. Remove the hose coupler from the

housing and determine where the clog is located. If possible clear the clog through the intake opening. It

may require removal of the intake adaptor (item 33) to allow access to clear the housing. If clog is in the elbow, carefully remove the elbow. Remove elbow by removing the knobs on the elbow clamp. Then remove 3 bolts so that the split plate can be taken out. FInally, the elbow can be removed by sliding it past the remaining attached clamp.

NOTE: Elbow is very heavy. Do not stand directly under elbow during removal.

Danger, the clog may contain sharp materials. Wearing durable gloves, clear the clog. Reconnect spark plug wire.

HANDLING & TRANSPORTING

The unit is equipped with small front wheels to allow for easier transportation to storage. With unit removed from its mounting, tilt unit forward toward the ground and use wheels to manuever it into storage area.

ALWAYS ATTACH NOZZLE TO THE TRAY BEFORE TRANSPORTING UNIT

ALWAYS TRANSPORT WITH NOZZLE

SECURED TO THE TRAY.

STORAGE

Drain all fuel prior to storage.

Never store engine indoors or in enclosed poorly venti- lated areas with fuel in tank, where fuel fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light, as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or other gas appliance.

If engine is to be unused for 30 days or more, prepare as follows:

Be sure engine is cool. Do not smoke. Remove all gasoline from carburetor and fuel tank to prevent gum deposits from forming on these parts and causing possible malfunction of engine. Drain fuel outdoors, into an approved container, away from open flame. Run engine until fuel tank is empty and engine runs out of gasoline.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer (such as Sta-Bil) is an acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container. Always follow mix ratio found on stabilizer container. Run engine at least 10 min. after adding stabilizer to allow it to reach the carburetor.

HOSE STORAGE: Store hose as straight and flat as possible. Storing hose in a covered area, out of sunlight and heat will prolong hose life. Do not store hose where it could be stepped on or where other objects could crush or damage hose.
