OPERATING PROCEDURES
Fuel (Fig. 13)
Fig. 13
WARNING
○The unit/machine is equipped with a two-stroke engine. Always
run the engine on fuel, which is mixed with oil.
Provide good ventilation, when fueling or handling fuel.
○Fuel contains highly flammable and it is possible to get the
serious personal injury when inhaling or spilling on your body.
Always pay attention when handling fuel. Always have good
ventilation when handling fuel inside building.
Fuel
○Always use branded 89 octane unleaded gasoline.
○Use genuine two-cycle oil or use a mix between 25:1 to 50:1,
please consult the oil bottle for the ratio or HiKOKI Authorized
Service Centers.
○If genuine oil is not available, use an anti-oxidant added quality
oil expressly labeled for air-cooled 2-cycle engine use (JASO
FC GRADE OIL or ISO EGC GRADE). Do not use BIA or TCW
(2-stroke water-cooling type) mixed oil.
○Never use for four-stroke engine oil or waste oil.
○Always mix fuel and oil in a separate clean container.
Always start by filing half the amount of fuel, which is to be used.
Then add the whole amount of oil. Mix (shake) the fuel mixture. Add
the remaining amount of fuel.
Mix (shake) the fuel-mix thoroughly before filling the fuel tank.
Fueling
WARNING
○Always shut offthe engine and let it cool for a few minutes
before refueling.
○Slowly open the fuel tank, when filling up with fuel, so that
possible over-pressure disappears.
○Tighten the fuel cap carefully, after fueling.
○Always move the unit at least 3 m from the fueling area before
starting.
○Do not smoke and/or allow flames or sparks near fuel when
handling or filling fuel.
○Always wash any spilled fuel from clothing immediately with
soap.
○Be sure to check for any fuel leakage after refueling.
Before fueling, clean the tank cap area carefully, to ensure that
no dirt falls into the tank. Make sure that the fuel is well mixed by
shaking the container, before fueling.

Operating blower (Fig. 18)
○A low speed should be used to blow leaves and dry grass.
○A medium speed should be used to clean wet leaves and grass.
○A high speed should be used when moving gravel, dirt or other
heavy materials.
○When working in a dusty area, hose down the area with water.
Fig. 18
WARNING
○Do not direct discharge of air toward people or pet.
○The unit should be operated in a well ventilated area.
○Never perform assembly or disassembly procedures with
engine running or serious personal injury may result.
○Never touch muffler, spark plug, or other metallic parts while
engine is in running or immediately after shutting offengine.
○Do not use this blower indoors.
○Do not operate if there is an open window near the work area
and its surroundings.
CAUTION
This blower has been designed and adjusted to be used with
blowing pipes attached. It must never be operated without the
straight pipe.
NOTE
Blowing Pipe Selection
• Straight Blowing Pipe
Allows operation at maximum blow capacity.
Suitable for operation in widespread areas, engine revolution
is kept at a minimum, resulting in improved fuel consumption
when compared with the conic/fan-shaped blowing pipe.
The straight blowing pipe is recommended for normal use.
• Conic/Fan-Shaped Blowing Pipe
Allows operation at maximum blow speed.
Ideal for blowing wet leaves stuck to the ground or releasing a
powerful air discharge in limited spaces.
Operating vacuum (Fig. 19)
WARNING
Do not vacuum bottles, cans or any other hard materials,
which may cause damage or serious injuries.
○Do not use a bag with holes or tears in it. Even a small hole
can cause a lot of dust to come out. Repair or replace it
immediately.
○Make sure zipper of the bag is completely closed.

○Wear shoulder strap over right or left shoulder.
○Make sure bevel at end of suction pipe faces downward.
○The unit should be operated In a well ventilated area.
○Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before vacuuming.
○A low speed should be used to vacuum small leaves and dry
grass.
○A medium speed should be used to vacuum large leaves and
grass.
○A high speed should be used to vacuum larger or wet leaves
and grass.
○Dispose of debris in the bag more frequently in dusty condition.
Fig. 19
NOTE
When you hear or feel strange sound or vibration, stop engine
immediately and check if anything blocks fans or pipes, If so,
remove it and check for damage.

MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE, REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF THE EMISSION
CONTROL DEVICES AND SYSTEMS MAY BE PERFORMED BY ANY
NON-ROAD ENGINE REPAIR ESTABLISHMENT OR INDIVIDUAL.
Carburetor adjustment (Fig. 21)
The carburetor is a precision part that mixes air and fuel, and it is
designed to ensure high performance from the engine. Before the
tool is shipped from the factory, its carburetor is adjusted during
a test run. Only make adjustments if it is necessary because of
environmental conditions (the climate or atmospheric pressure), the
type of fuel, the type of two-cycle oil, etc.
WARNING
○Because the carburetor is manufactured with a high degree of
precision, do not disassemble it.
○For this product, the only setting of the carburetor that can be
adjusted is the idle speed (T).
T = Idle speed adjustment screw.
Idle speed adjustment (T)
Check that the air filter is clean. If adjustment is required, turn
IDLE speed Adjustment Screw (T) close (clockwise) to increase
engine speed, open (counterclockwise) to decrease engine speed.
Standard Idle rpm is 2800-3200 rpm.
CAUTION
The above adjusting procedure must be followed when
adjustment is MADE or DAMAGE to engine will occur because
of the incorrect condition.
NOTE
Some models sold areas with strict exhaust emission
regulation do not have high and low speed carburetor
adjustments. Such adjustments may allow the engine to be
operated outside of their emission compliance limits. For these
models, the only carburetor adjustment is idle speed.
Fig. 21
RECOMMENDATION
CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT NEEDS THE SKILL OF
EXPERIENCED OR WELL TRAINED PEOPLE, OR IS
RECOMMENDED TO TAKE THE UNIT TO HiKOKI AUTHORIZED
SERVICE CENTERS.
Air filter (Fig. 22)
The air filter must be cleaned from dust and dirt in order to avoid:
○Carburetor malfunctions
○Starting problems
○Engine power reduction
○Unnecessary wear on the engine parts
○Abnormal fuel consumption
Clean the air filter daily or more often if working in exceptionally
dusty areas.
Fig. 22
Cleaning the air filter
Open the air filter cover and remove the air filter. Clean it. Check
that the filter is dry before reassembly. An air filter that has been
used for some time cannot be cleaned completely. Therefore, it
must regularly be replaced with a new one. A damaged filter must
always be replaced.
Fuel filter (Fig. 23)
Remove the fuel filter from the fuel tank, and replace it if it is dirty.
NOTE
A blocked fuel filter can prevent the supply of fuel and cause a
rotation malfunction of the engine.

Fig. 23
Spark plug (Fig. 24)
When removing the spark plug, twist and remove the plug cap
covering the spark plug as shown in the illustration. (Fig. 25)
The spark plug condition is influenced by:
○An incorrect carburetor setting
○Wrong fuel mixture (too much oil in the gasoline)
○A dirty air filter
○Hard running conditions (such as cold weather)
These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes, which
may result in malfunction and starting difficulties. If the engine
is low on power, difficult to start or runs poorly at idling speed,
always check the spark plug first. If the spark plug is dirty, clean it
and check the electrode gap. Re-adjust if necessary. The correct
gap is 0.6 mm. The spark plug should be replaced after about 100
operation hours or earlier if the electrodes are badly eroded.
0.6 mm
Fig. 24
Fig. 25
NOTE
In some areas, local law requires using a resistor spark plug
to suppress ignition signals. If this machine was originally
equipped with resistor spark plug, use same type of spark plug
for replacement.
For long-term storage
Drain all fuel from the fuel tank. Start and let engine run until it
stops. Repair any damage which has resulted from use. Clean the
unit with a clean rag, or the use of high pressure air hose. Put a few
drops of two-cycle engine oil into the cylinder through the spark
plug hole, and spin the engine over several times to distribute oil.
Cover the unit and store it in a dry area.
