WARNING:
Use only identical replacement parts when servicing this
product. Use of any other parts could 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.
Head protection may also be required depending on the
type of attachment used and as prescribed in the attach-
ment’s Operator’s Manual. 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 can result in serious personal injury.
CLEANING THE PRODUCT
Stop the product before cleaning.
Clean the exterior of the product with a damp cloth.
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.
Scrape debris away from air intake vents on both sides
of the motor housing.
NOTICE:
Keeping air intake vents free of grass and debris prevents
motor overheating and possible failure.
SERVICING THE PRODUCT
Check and tighten all fasteners. If any part is damaged or
lost, repair it or replace it.
CHECKING THE FUEL CAP, TANK, AND LINES
WARNING:
Check for fuel leaks. A leaking fuel cap, tank, or lines
are a fire hazard and must be replaced immediately. If
you find any leaks, correct the problem before using the
product. Failure to do so could result in a fire that could
cause serious personal injury.
The fuel cap contains a non-serviceable filter and check
valve. A clogged fuel filter causes poor engine perfor-
mance. If performance improves when the fuel cap is loos-
ened, the check valve may be faulty or the filter may be
clogged. Replace the fuel cap if necessary.
CLEANING AIR FILTER
See Figure 16.
A wet or dirty air filter can affect the way the engine starts,
performs, and wears. The air filter should be checked and
cleaned after 5 hours of operation. Inspect and clean more
frequently if used in dusty dirty conditions.
For best performance, the air filter should be replaced ev-
ery 25 hours or yearly.
To clean the air filter:
Loosen the knob on the air filter cover.
Remove the cover.
Lift the edge of the air filter carefully and peel it out.
Wash the air filter with warm, soapy water.
Rinse and squeeze to dry.
Reinstall the air filter.
Note: Make sure the filter is seated properly inside the
cover. Installing the filter incorrectly will allow dirt to enter
the engine, causing rapid engine wear.
Install the air filter cover.
Tighten knob to secure.

CLEANING THE EXHAUST PORT, MUFFLER,
AND SPARK ARRESTOR
See Figure 17.
WARNING:
Stop engine, remove spark plug boot, and allow engine
and muffler to cool before replacing the spark arrestor.
Contact with a hot muffler or engine could cause burns
or other serious personal injuries.
NOTE: Depending on the type of fuel used, the type and
amount of lubricant used, and/or your operating condi-
tions, the exhaust port, muffler, and/or spark arrestor
screen may become 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 recommend that only qualified service technicians
perform this service.
The spark arrestor may need to be cleaned or replaced
after repeated use. If replacement is necessary, use part
number 638268001.
TO REPLACE THE SPARK ARRESTOR:

Note: Removing these screws requires the use of a T20
and T25 torx screwdriver.
Remove the cover.
Remove the two screws holding the muffler assembly in
place.
Remove the muffler assembly and muffler gasket. It may
be necessary to work the muffler assembly free from the
muffler gasket.
Separate the muffler cover from the muffler.
Remove the three screws that hold the plates on the
muffler.
Remove the spark arrestor.
Replace the old spark arrestor with the new one.
Assemble the muffler by reinstalling the plates
and tightening the three screws (torque to 18 in.lb
[2.03 Nm] minimum, 22 in.lb. [2.48 Nm] maximum).
Reassemble the muffler and muffler cover and attach to
the muffler gasket with the two screws.

engine (torque to 60 in.lb [6.78 Nm] minimum, 80 in.lb.
[9.04 Nm] maximum).
Reinstall the cover on the tool and fasten with the
five screws (torque to 26 in.lb [2.94 Nm] minimum,
39 in.lb. [4.41 Nm] maximum).
Note: Do not over-tighten screws.
WARNING:
To avoid a fire hazard, never run the without the spark
arrestor in place.
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. Replacement parts available online at
www.blackmaxtools.com.
SPARK PLUG REPLACEMENT

THE FOLLOWING CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD (CARB) STATEMENT ONLY APPLIES TO MODEL NUMBERS
REQUIRED TO MEET THE CARB REQUIREMENTS.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the California Air Resources
Board (CARB), and OWT Industries, Inc., are pleased to explain the Emissions
Control System Warranty on your 2014 model year non-road or small off-road
engine. In California, new equipment that uses small off-road engines must be
designed, built, and equipped to meet the state’s stringent anti-smog standards. In
other states, new 2000 and later model year non-road engines must be designed,
built, and equipped at the time of sale to meet the U.S. EPA regulations for small
non-road engines. The non-road engine must be free from defects in materials
and workmanship which cause it to fail to conform with U.S. EPA standards for the
first two years of engine use from the date of sale to the ultimate purchaser. OWT
Industries, Inc., must warrant the emission control system on your non-road or
small off-road engine for the period of time listed above provided there has been no
abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance of your non-road or small off-road engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel
injection system, the ignition system, catalytic converters, fuel tanks, valves, filters,
clamps, connectors, and other associated components. Also included may be
hoses, belts and connectors, and other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, OWT Industries, Inc., will repair your non-road
or small off-road engine at no cost to you, including diagnosis, parts, and labor
performed at an authorized service center for Black Max brand outdoor products.
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
This product’s emissions control system is warranted for two years. If any emission-
related part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by
OWT Industries, Inc., free of charge.
OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES
(a) As the non-road or small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the
performance of the required maintenance listed in your operator’s manual. OWT
Industries, Inc., recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance
on your non-road or small off-road engine, but OWT Industries, Inc., cannot deny
warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance
of all scheduled maintenance. Any replacement part or service that is equivalent
in performance and durability may be used in non-warranty maintenance or
repairs, and shall not reduce the warranty obligations of OWT Industries, Inc.
(b) As the non-road or small off-road engine owner, you should be aware, however,
that OWT Industries, Inc., may deny you warranty coverage if your non-road or small
off-road engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance,
or unapproved modifications.
(c) You are responsible for presenting your non-road or small off-road engine to an
authorized service dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should
be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibili-
ties, you should contact a OWT Industries, Inc., Customer Representative at
1-800-726-5760.
DEFECT WARRANTY COVERAGE REQUIREMENTS:
(a) The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment is delivered
to an ultimate purchaser.
(b) General Emissions Warranty Coverage. OWT Industries, Inc., warrants to the
ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that your non-road or small
off-road engine is designed, built, and equipped at the time of sale to conform
with all applicable regulations adopted by the California Air Resources Board or
the United States Environmental Protection Agency; and that it is free from defects
in materials and workmanship which cause the engine to fail to conform with ap-
plicable regulations for a period of two years from the date the non-road or small
off-road engine is purchased by the initial purchaser.
(c) The warranty on emissions-related parts will be interpreted as follows: Any
warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required in the Emissions
Maintenance Schedule and Warranty Parts List set forth below is warranted for
two years. If any such part (including any part that is scheduled only for regular
inspection) fails during the period of warranty coverage, it will be repaired or re-
placed at any Black Max Authorized Service Center at no charge. Any such part
repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the remaining warranty
period. A statement to the effect of “repair or replace as necessary” would not
reduce the period of warranty coverage. Any warranted part that is scheduled for
replacement as required maintenance in the Emissions Maintenance Schedule and
Warranty Parts List is warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled
replacement point for that part. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty
is warranted for the remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replace-
ment point, and will be repaired or replaced at any Black Max Authorized Service
Center for no charge until that replacement point is reached.
OWT Industries, Inc., shall remedy warranty defects at any authorized Black Max
Authorized Service Center, including any distribution center that may be franchised
to service the subject engines. Any diagnostic work done at a Black Max Authorized
Service Center shall be free of charge to the owner if such work determines that a
warranted part is defective. Any manufacturer-approved or equivalent replacement
part may be used for any warranty maintenance or repairs on emission-related
parts, and must be provided free of charge to the owner if the part is still under
warranty. OWT Industries, Inc., is liable for damages to other engine components
caused by the failure of a warranted part still under warranty.
Add-on or modified parts that are not exempted by the California Air Resource
Board may not be used. The use of any non-exempted add-on or modified parts
will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim. OWT Industries, Inc., will not be
liable to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a non-exempted
add-on or modified part.
The California Air Resources Board’s Emission Warranty Parts List specifically
defines the emission-related warranted parts. (EPA’s regulations do not include
a parts list, but the EPA considers emission-related warranted parts to include
all the parts listed below.) OWT Industries, Inc., will provide any documents that
describe its warranty procedures or policies within five days upon request by the
California Air Resources Board.
