5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
Regular maintenance tasks must be carried out at
specific intervals to retain the engine's performance.
10.1 CLEANING THE AIR FILTER –
FIGS. 30 – 32
A dirty, clogged air filter will restrict the air flow in to
the engine and will cause rough running. It will
increase fuel consumption and may result in starting
problems.
Attention: Stop the engine before removing the air
filter assembly.
Pull the choke lever  upwards to the closed
position to prevent any debris entering the
carburettor inlet.
Unscrew the retaining bolt  on the air filter
cover  to remove it.
Remove the air filter element .
Wash the element in warm soapy water to clean
it. Do not use solvents to clean it.
Allow the filter to dry 100% before refitting it on
to the engine.
– Refit cover .
– Replace the filter if it appears worn or
damaged.
10.2 SPARK PLUG MAINTENANCE –
FIGS. 33 – 34
Over time the spark plug  can become
contaminated.
This can be due to adverse running
conditions such as, working with part throttle for a
prolonged period or a fuel mix containing too much
oil. This contamination can build up causing the
engine to run roughly, reduce the fuel consumption
or create starting problems.
Without using any tools so as to avoid damaging
the H.T. lead, remove the lead  from the
back of the spark plug.

– Storing fuels in closed containers. Keeping in mind that fuels may evaporate at room
temperature and collect on the floor of closed rooms (risk of explosion).
– Start the device at least nine metres away from any stored fuels or flammable liquids.
Fuels are toxic, they contain substances that have an immediate toxic effect and may cause
permanent damage to your health. Take all precautionary measures to prevent your body from
absorbing any of these substances:
– Tank and siphon fuels only outdoors or in well-ventilated rooms.
– Do not inhale fuel fumes.
– Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
– Wear gloves when transferring fuel.
– When fuel has come into contact with your clothes, change them immediately. Clean your
clothes before putting them back on.
– Store fuels out of the reach of children.
When handled inappropriately, fuels may cause damage to the environment:
– Transfer fuel carefully. Fuel must never trickle into the ground or the sewage system.
– Dispose of any remaining fuel in an appropriate manner. Never dispose of fuel with regular
household waste.
– Fuels may be stored only for a limited time. Purchase only such quantities that can be used up
within a few months.

 9.1 FUELLING – FIGS. 13 – 15
This petrol blower vac is equipped with a 2 stroke
air cooled petrol engine.
This type of engine requires a mixture of fuel and oil
to perform and function. Failure to use the correct
oil, fuel or mixture ratio will cause permanent
damage to the engine. Only use fresh, clean, good
quality unleaded fuel mixed with a high quality 2
stroke oil. Do not use any other types of oil e.g.
engine oil as this will cause damage to the
engine.
For synthetic oil or semi-synthetic a mix ratio of 30:1
must be used. To mix a ratio of 30:1:
Add 166ml of 2 stroke oil into 5 litres of
unleaded fuel (2%).
Attention: Always handle fuel with caution.
Pour the fuel/oil mixture into a specifically
designed mixing receptacle before replacing
the cap and shaking gently.
Remove the fuel tank cap  by turning it
anti-clockwise. To prevent identification
problems or accidents the fuel tank cap is
stamped with the symbol .
With the aid of a funnel, if needed, pour the
fuel/oil mixture into the fuel tank before
replacing the cap firmly. Avoid spillage and do
not over fill.
Note: Always mix and refuel in a well ventilated
area away from sources of ignition.
Note: Store fuel for short periods only and avoid
mixing more than is required. Store in a container
specifically designed for petrochemical applications
away from heat and direct sun light.

9. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
9.6 USING THE BLOWER/VAC – FIGS. 27 – 29
Note: As a general rule, try to operate the machine using the lowest throttle setting necessary for
the task in hand.
Blower Operation – Figs. 27 – 28
Note: To set up the machine for blowing
applications, refer to Section 8: Assembling The
Petrol Blower/Vac.
– Use low throttle settings when clearing
lightweight materials from around lawns or
shrubbery.
– Use medium to higher throttle settings to move
lightweight grass or leaves from open areas.
– Use full throttle when moving heavy loads such
as dirt or snow.
– Machine noise increases at higher throttle
settings. Always use the lowest possible throttle
setting.
– To keep from scattering debris, blow around the
outer edges of a debris pile.
Never blow directly into the centre of a pile.
– Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before
blowing.
– In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surface with
water (if available).
Vacuum Operation – Fig.29
Note: To set up the machine for vacuuming
applications, refer to Section 8: Assembling The
Petrol Blower/Vac.
– When using the machine in vacuuming
operation, be sure not to allow the collection
bag to become overfilled.
– Allowing the collection bag to become overfilled
will reduce the appliances effectiveness and
may cause damage to the bag itself or the
appliance.

5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
Regular maintenance tasks must be carried out at
specific intervals to retain the engine's performance.
10.1 CLEANING THE AIR FILTER –
FIGS. 30 – 32
A dirty, clogged air filter will restrict the air flow in to
the engine and will cause rough running. It will
increase fuel consumption and may result in starting
problems.
Attention: Stop the engine before removing the air
filter assembly.
Pull the choke lever  upwards to the closed
position to prevent any debris entering the
carburettor inlet.
Unscrew the retaining bolt  on the air filter
cover  to remove it.
Remove the air filter element .
Wash the element in warm soapy water to clean
it. Do not use solvents to clean it.
Allow the filter to dry 100% before refitting it on
to the engine.
– Refit cover .
– Replace the filter if it appears worn or
damaged.
10.2 SPARK PLUG MAINTENANCE –
FIGS. 33 – 34
Over time the spark plug  can become
contaminated.
This can be due to adverse running
conditions such as, working with part throttle for a
prolonged period or a fuel mix containing too much
oil. This contamination can build up causing the
engine to run roughly, reduce the fuel consumption
or create starting problems.
Without using any tools so as to avoid damaging
the H.T. lead, remove the lead  from the
back of the spark plug.

– Storing fuels in closed containers. Keeping in mind that fuels may evaporate at room
temperature and collect on the floor of closed rooms (risk of explosion).
– Start the device at least nine metres away from any stored fuels or flammable liquids.
Fuels are toxic, they contain substances that have an immediate toxic effect and may cause
permanent damage to your health. Take all precautionary measures to prevent your body from
absorbing any of these substances:
– Tank and siphon fuels only outdoors or in well-ventilated rooms.
– Do not inhale fuel fumes.
– Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
– Wear gloves when transferring fuel.
– When fuel has come into contact with your clothes, change them immediately. Clean your
clothes before putting them back on.
– Store fuels out of the reach of children.
When handled inappropriately, fuels may cause damage to the environment:
– Transfer fuel carefully. Fuel must never trickle into the ground or the sewage system.
– Dispose of any remaining fuel in an appropriate manner. Never dispose of fuel with regular
household waste.
– Fuels may be stored only for a limited time. Purchase only such quantities that can be used up
within a few months.
