MAINTENANCE

SPARK ARRESTOR

The muffler is equipped with a spark arrestor screen inside muffler body. After extended use the screen can become dirty and you may need to have the muffler replaced by an authorized servicing dealer.

WARNING:

Never run the blower without the spark arrestor in place. Failure to do so could result in a fire that could cause serious personal injury.

CLEANING THE EXHAUST PORT AND MUFFLER

Depending on the type of fuel used, the type and amount of oil used, and/or your operating conditions, the exhaust port and muffler may become blocked with carbon deposits. If you notice low power from the blower, have a qualified service technician check the exhaust port and muffler for carbon deposits. Removing the carbon deposits should restore performance to the blower.

FUEL CAP

WARNING:

A leaking fuel cap is a fire hazard and must be replaced immediately. Failure to do so could result in a fire that could cause serious personal injury.

The fuel cap contains a non-serviceable filter and a check valve. A clogged fuel filter will cause poor engine performance. If performance improves when the fuel cap is loosened, the check valve may be faulty or filter clogged. Replace the fuel cap if required.

SPARK PLUG

This engine uses a Champion RCJ-6Y with 0.63 mm (0.025 in.) electrode gap. Use an exact replacement part and replace annually.

WARNING:

Be careful not to cross-thread the spark plug. Cross- threading will seriously damage the product.

STORAGE (1 MONTH OR LONGER)

nDrain all fuel from the tank into a container approved for gasoline. Run engine until it stops.

nClean all foreign material from the blower. Store it in a well-ventilated place that is inaccessible to children. Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden chemicals and de-icing salts.

nAbide by all Federal and local regulations for the safe storage and handling of gasoline. Excess fuel should be used up in other 2-cycle engine powered equipment.
