PREPARATION

1.Open the packing. Make certain the engine’s spark plug wire is disconnected.

2.Assemble the upper and lower handles to the engine plate and the brace to the engine or fan housing as shown i the parts list.

3.Check and tighten all nuts and bolts as necessary.

4.Check the air pressure in the tires. It should be 14- 18 psi. CAUTION: Do not overinflate.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Prior to Each Day’s Use:

1.Disconect the engine’s spark plug wire.

2.Clean the cooling air intake screen and cooling fins.

3.Clean the air filter paper element by gently tapping o the flat side. Do not wash or use pressurized air.

4.Position the blower o a level surface and check the engine oil level.

5.Fill the gas tank.

6.Check and tighten all nuts and bolts as necessary.

To Start the Blower:

1.Connect the engine’s spark plug wire.

2.Open the fuel shutoff valve.

3.Move the engine switch to “ON”. Move the choke control on the engine to “CHOKE”. Move the throttle control to halfway between “SLOW” and “FAST”.

4.Grasp the starter grip and pull slowly until the starter engages and then pull the cord rapidly to overcome compression, prevent kickback and start the engine. Allow the cord to recoil slowly. Repeat if necessary.

5.Fill the engine with oil. The oil should be up to but not over the “Full” mark on the dipstick. Above 32° F. use SAE 30 oil. Below 32° F. use SAE 5W20 or SAE 5W30.

6.Fill the gas tank. Use fresh, clean, regular, unleaded gasoline. Leave 1/4 inch at the top of the tank for expansion.

5.Once the engine starts, close the choke control and when the engine has warmed up, adjust the throttle to produce the amount of sweeping power required.

6.Move to the point where you want to begin sweeping. Move the front door handle at the outlet of the fan housing to point to the side if you want to blow forward. The sweeping action is most effective if, as you move forward, you keep the front of the machine down and close to the work surface to blow out holes and crevices.

7.To shut off the machine, move the engine throttle control to the “OFF” or “SLOW” position, shut off the engine switch and after the engine has stopped, disconnect the engine’s spark plug wire and shut the fuel shutoff valve.

8.After use, thoroughly clean the machine especially the engine’s air intake screen and cooling fins.
