OPERATION

Hold the engine higher than the inlet end of the vacuum tube.

Always point vacuum tube downhill when working on a hillside.

To avoid serious injury to the operator or damage to the unit, do not pick up rocks, metal, broken glass, bottles, or other similar objects.

If the vacuum tubes should clog, stop the engine , ensure impeller blades have stopped spinning, and disconnect the spark plug wire before cleaning out the obstruction.

Remove the vacuum tubes and clear the debris from the blower fan housing. Remove the bag and clear the tube. A small rod or stick may be required to clear the entire tube length. Ensure that all debris has been cleared before reassembling the vacuum tubes.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.

WARNING:

Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1, along with hearing protection. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes and other possible serious injuries.

WARNING:

Before inspecting, cleaning, or servicing the machine, shut off engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and disconnect spark plug wire and move it away from spark plug. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury or property damage.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, lubricant, grease, etc.

WARNING:

Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum- based products, penetrating lubricants, etc., come in con- tact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which could result in serious personal injury.

You can often make adjustments and repairs described here. For other repairs, have the blower/vacuum serviced by an authorized service dealer.

CLEANING THE AIR FILTER

See Figure 13 - 14.

For proper performance and long life, keep air filter clean.

Remove the air filter cover by turning the dial counter- clockwise while gently pulling on the cover.

Rinse filter with clean water.

Gently squeeze filter until excess water is removed. Replace filter.

Place the air filter cover back on the unit. Turn dial clock- wise until cover is secure.

CLEANING THE EXHAUST PORT, MUFFLER AND SPARK ARRESTOR

NOTE:  Depending on the type of fuel used, the type and amount of lubricant used, and/or your operating conditions, the exhaust port, muffler, and/or spark arrestor screen may be- come blocked with carbon deposits. If you notice a power loss with your gas powered tool, you may need to remove these deposits to restore performance. We highly recom- mend that only qualified service technicians perform this service.

The spark arrestor must be cleaned or replaced every 50 hours or yearly to ensure proper performance of your prod- uct. Spark arrestors may be in different locations depending on the model purchased. Please contact your nearest service dealer for the location of the spark arrestor for your model.

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.
