Operation
■CONTROL ARM
1.Hold the upper end of the control arm in hand and, while pulling it away from the unit, rotate arm forward
■STARTING ENGINE IMPORTANT
•Avoid operating the blower with the flexible tube and swivel joint disconnected. That will reduce the cooling air and the engine could be damaged by overheating.
1.Push the primer bulb until fuel flows out in the clear tube.
2.When the engine is cool, close the choke.
3.Set the throttle lever in 1/3 open position.
4.To start, hold the top of the blower firmly with your left hand. Pull the starter knob slowly until you feel it engage and then give it a vigorous strong pull.
IMPORTANT
•Avoid pulling the starter rope out to its full extension. Do not allow the starter rope to snap back. Rewind the rope slowly. This will prevent premature damage to the starter.
•Do not let a person stand near the blower or the exhaust port.
5.Once the engine is running, gradually open the choke if it was set closed, and let the engine run at idle speed for a minute to warm it up.
NOTE
•When the engine fails to start after several attempts due to overchoking, open the choke and repeat pulling the rope.
■ADJUSTING IDLE SPEED
•The idling speed is set for 2000 rpm at the factory. If it is necessary to adjust the idle speed, use the adjustment screw on the top side of carburetor.
■STOPPING ENGINE
•Move the throttle lever to the idling position and press the stop switch (red button) until the engine comes to a complete stop.
