8. Operation
STARTING ENGINE
IMPORTANT
•Avoid operating the blower with the flexible tube and swivel joint disconnected.That will reduce the cool- ing air and the engine could be damaged by over- heating.
1.Push the primer bulb until fuel flows out in the clear tube.
2.When the engine is cool, close the choke.
6.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 adjust- ment screw on the top side of carburetor.

5.To start, hold the top of the blower firmly with your left hand. Pull the starter knob slowly until you feel it en- gage and then give it a vigorous strong pull.
IMPORTANT
•Avoid pulling the starter rope out to its full extent and allowing the starter rope to snap back.This will prevent premature damage to the starter.
•Do not let a person stand near the blower or the exhaust port.
