General Maintenance Hints

After a running in period of approx. 5 hours, all accessible screws and nuts (except for car- buretor mixture adjustment needles) have to be checked and re-tightened if required. Any service jobs, other than those described in this manual, should only be carried out by an authorized service center.

•Any cleaning, maintenance or repair jobs should only be performed when the engine is stopped and with removed spark plug cap. The exception, of course, is carburetor tuning.

Maintenance Guide Lines

•Any service jobs, other than those described in this manual, should only be carried out by an authorized service center. Only origi- nal parts may be used for any maintenance and service work.

•Never modify your motorized mistblower

– your personal safety is at risk.

•Never service or store the machine near an open flame.

•Regularly check the fuel tank lid for sealing and tank ventilation. Only use recommen- ded spark plugs. Check ignition cable for any damage.

•Never operate a motorized mistblower with a damaged muffler or without muffler (fire risk and risk of damage to hearing). Do not touch hot muffler.

Storage Hints

If the unit is to be laid up or kept idle for any length of time, proceed as follows:

a)Rinse and clean thoroughly. Never use formula container of your mist blower for storing chemicals.

b)Shut off fuel cock and keep engine running until lines and carburetor are empty. Other- wise gasiline evaporates, and the remaining lubricant would clog the carburetor ducts.

c)Remove spark plug and squirt an ounce or

two of corrosion inhibitor (LPS, WD-40 etc.) or plain engine oil into the cylinder. Crank engine several times to spread the agent, then reinsert spark plug.

d)Please store your machine away from sunlight, order to protect of the materials against influence of ultraviolet radiations.

e)Before putting the unit back into service, remove and clean spark plug; crank engine a few times with plug removed.

For transport in a vehicle, ensure the mistblower is well secured to avoid fuel spillage.

Completely empty the fuel tank before exten- ded storage or shipment.

Fuel

Petrol and Oil

The engine of your motorized mistblower is a high performance 2-cycle engine and has to be operated with a fuel/oil mix or with a spe- cial, pre-mixed fuel for 2-cycle engines avai- lable from specialized dealers. Important: For the fuel mixture, use lead-free regular (stan- dard) petrol, lead-freeEuro-petrol or lead-free Super (premium) petrol. The minimum octane rating is 92 ROZ.

Mixing Ratio: We recommend a mixing ratio of 50 parts fuel to 1 part of oil (50:1 – 2%) with the use of special 2-cycle oil ”SOLO Profi

2T Oil”.

When using other 2-cycle oils we recommend

amixture ratio of 25:1 (4%). Note: Never store fuel mixture for longer than 3-4 weeks.
