Side Discharge Down Position

This position directs the air stream down at the ground to allow the operator to deliver the maximum power to debris that is stuck or difficult to remove. This position is also very useful for cleaning out cracks and expansion joints in pavement.

16.4ADJUSTING AIR DIRECTOR

When you lock the lever, the default position of air director is in the middle or straight out. If you want to raise or lower air director lock position you must adjust the threaded fitting on the cable.

2. Loosen the top nut on the threaded cable fitting until the air director position is satisfactory.

3. Tighten the bottom nut.

Front Discharge Position

The removable front discharge adapter can be slipped on to direct the air stream forward. This option is extremely useful for cleaning out long cracks in pave- ment or for cleaning under bushes or building over- hangs.

Lower Lock Position

1. Lock the lever at the handle by pulling on the lever then slide it over to right.

2. Loosen the bottom nut on the threaded cable fitting and back it off 1/4 inch.

3. Pull the threaded cable fitting up while pushing down on the air director then check for air director position.

4.Loosen or tighten the same bottom nut then repeat step 3 until the air director position is satisfactory.

5.Tighten the top nut.

16.5STORAGE

Never store engine indoors or in enclosed poorly ventilated 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:

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. Be sure engine is cool. Do not smoke. 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.
