FUEL CAP
WARNING:
A leaking fuel cap is a fire hazard and must be replaced
immediately.
The fuel cap contains a non-serviceable filter and a check
valve. A clogged fuel filter will cause poor engine perfor-
mance. If performance improves when the fuel cap is
loosened, the check valve may be faulty or filter clogged.
Replace the fuel cap if required.
SPARK PLUG
This engine uses a Champion RCJ-6Y with 0.63 mm
(0.025 in.) electrode gap. Use an exact replacement and
replace annually.
STORAGE (1 MONTH OR LONGER)
1 Drain all fuel from the tank into a container approved for
gasoline. Run engine until it stops.
2 Clean all foreign material from the blower. Store it in a
well-ventilated place that is inaccessible to children.
Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden
chemicals and de-icing salts.
3 Abide by all Federal and local regulations for the safe
storage and handling of gasoline. Excess fuel should be
used up in other 2-cycle engine powered equipment.
MAINTENANCE
SPARK ARRESTOR
The muffler is equipped with a spark arrestor screen inside
muffler body. After extended use the screen can become
dirty and may need to have the muffler replaced by an
authorized servicing dealer.
WARNING:
To avoid a fire hazard, never run the blower without the
spark arrestor in place.
CLEANING THE EXHAUST PORT AND MUF-
FLER
Depending on the type of fuel used, the type and amount of
oil used, and/or your operating conditions, the exhaust port
and muffler may become blocked with carbon deposits. If
you notice low power from the blower, have a qualified
service technician check the exhaust port and muffler for
carbon deposits. Removing the carbon deposits should
restore performance to the blower.
VACUUM BAG
A dirty bag will reduce performance. To clean the bag, turn it
inside out and shake. Wash the bag in soapy water at least
once a year. If the bag has deteriorated from normal use,
obtain a replacement bag from your authorized servicing
dealer.
