Learn How To Operate Your Machine Safely
The Hyundai HYBV 2600X machine is
designed to clear dry leaves and light
debris from gardens, paths, sports areas
and hard-standings. It is not designed to
collect stones or twigs.
The machine can be operated in two
di󰀨erent ways:
• To collect by suction and shred ma-
terial into a bag ready for composting
or disposal
• To move material by blowing
Because the machine can be used in two
di󰀨erent ways it has to be assembled to
either collect and shred or to blow prior
to use.
The motor is an internal combustion two
stroke design. As it does not have an oil
sump to lubricate the moving parts, it can
only be operated with a pre-mixed petrol
and two-stroke oil fuel.
Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE)
The machine must not be operated un-
less the user is wearing well tted, tough
clothing, sturdy footwear with gripped
soles and gloves.
It is essential to wear
head, eye and ear pro-
tection to defend against
ying debris and engine
noise.
The operator must make certain that
there are no humans, animals, fragile
items such as glass or vehicles within the
safe working vicinity.
When assembled
in blower mode, the
machine will sweep by
expelling air at high
velocity, therefore do not
operate in the vicinity (at
least 6 metres) of anything that is likely to
be injured or damaged.
6m (19ft)
When the fan door is
open the shredding
blades will be exposed
and will cause serious
injury if touched.
The machine’s exhaust
fumes contain carbon
monoxide, hydrocarbons,
nitrogen oxides and lead
and are deadly poison-
ous. Therefore, it must
only be operated out of doors in well
ventilated areas and if the operator thinks
they’ve inhaled fumes because they feel
dizzy, nauseous or confused they must
stop the machine, breathe fresh air and
seek immediate medical attention.
Please also note that the
engine and particularly
the exhaust pipe are hot
during use and remain so
after the engine has been
stopped.

3
The machine requires a
combination of 40 parts
unleaded petrol to 1 part
semi-synthetic two stroke
oil (40:1) and a callibrat-
ed can is provided.
Before handling the fuel,
please ensure you’re in a
well ventilated area with
no naked ames. Do
not re-fuel your machine
whilst it’s hot and if you
spill fuel clean the area immediately. If
fuel gets onto your clothing change right
away and always wash your skin if it has
also been in contact with the fuel. Petrol
containers expand if
they’re in a warm envi-
ronment. Never leave
them in direct sunlight.
Remove the contain-
er’s cap slowly to allow
fumes to escape and any
pressure to reduce which should prevent
the fuel from bursting out. When you’ve
fuelled the machine, make sure the tank’s
cap is tted correctly and tightened rmly
to prevent it from undoing during opera-
tion.
Prior to starting.
Under no circumstances should the
motor be started if the machine has not
been fully assembled for use and safety
checked.
To carry out a safety
check, please open the
air intake cover and don’t
operate the machine if
you nd any cracks or
damage to the fan blades
or if the shredder blades
are loose. Using the
tools supplied with the machine, make
sure all xings are rm, that the throttle is
operating smoothly and that there are no
fuel leaks.
Open the spark plug
cover by lifting it (see
picture) and press the
rubber cap to make sure
it’s rmly connected
to the plug’s terminal.
Finally, check that the
blower or suction pipes
are unobstructed and secure and if you’re
operating the machine in the vacuum/
shredder mode make sure the zip is
closed on the collecting bag.
Starting
Make sure the area you’re going to work
in is safe. Wearing the necessary protec-
tive equipment, place the machine on the
ground, hold it rmly with one hand and
pull the starter cord with the other (please
see starting instructions). Please note
that if the machine is in blower mode, it
will scatter objects near to the end of the
tube immediately.
Operating in blower mode
The machine is designed to be operated
with one hand in this mode. The operator
can either control the power with their n-
ger or by using the friction throttle which
will maintain a constant engine speed.
The machine should be moved from left
to right in a gradual sweeping movement
whilst the operator advances. Each task
may vary and it is usual to develop a
method accordingly, for instance blowing
leaves into small piles to gather later,
is often quicker and more e󰀩cient than
trying to create one huge mound. Whilst
you’re working it is vital to remain aware
of your surroundings to help to prevent
accidents.

Operating in vacuum mode
In the vacuum mode, the machine is col-
lecting, shredding and depositing material
in the zipped bag. The operator must
support the bag by using the adjustable
shoulder strap and empty it regularly via
the zipped aperture to prevent blockages.
In this mode, the machine is designed for
two handed operation and the movement
for the collection process is generally
slower than when blowing. If you notice
that the machine’s e󰀩ciency has reduced
or that the engine note has changed
the airways may have bocome blocked.
Please stop the machine immediately
by switching the red button on the upper
handle to o󰀨 and empty the collector bag.
Whilst it is open, see if the curved pipe
which connects it to the powerhead is
blocked and if it is, clear it by pulling the
material out with a gloved hand. If it isn’t
blocked, remove the collector tubes and
inspect them and the fan/shredder area
behind the air intake cover. It is essential
that all the airways are unobstructed for
the machine to operate correctly and it
may be necessary to dismantle the tubes
to gain full access to ensure this. Wet
material is the normal cause of blockages
so try and operate the machine in reason-
able dry conditions.
Remember to keep a watchful eye on the
collector bag and empty it as soon as it’s
full.

Health and Wellbeing
It is very important that you make certain
that you don’t collect items which could
harm you or damage the machine,
especially hot or abrasive things. You
should also take particular care not to
spread material that could cause injury
or damage. As you become used to
working with the machine, your technique
and condence will improve and so will
your e󰀩cency.
Consider loosening matter such as
leaves that are stuck to a surface with a
sti󰀨 broom or rake before you attempt to
move them. The blower may create a lot
of dust in certain conditions which can be
reduced by lightly dampening the surface
to be worked on rst or by delaying the
operation to another time.
If you’re working in hot conditions make
sure you drink su󰀩cient uids. Regular
breaks will help to prevent problems that
may be caused by vibrations. Use the
friction throttle to prevent your nger from
being in a xed position for long periods
of time. Also, continually, adjust your grip
and keep it rm but not tight.
Keeping your machine clean and in good
working order will help to ensure your
safety whilst you’re using it so please
refer to the maintainence guide in this
manual.
Unboxing your machine
You’re nearly ready to un-
box your machine. Take
special care if you’re
using a blade. Remove
the components and
familiarise yourself with
each one by referring to the components
page in this book. Please pay particular
attention to the xing bolts as they vary in
design.
However, before you go ahead, please
read the next section and carry out a
thorough risk assessment.

Likelihood X Severity of injury = Band Control measures
Unlikely - 1 Slight - 1 1 - Low risk Review
Likely - 2 Serious - 2 4 - Medium risk Improve
Highly likely - 3 Major - 3 9 - High risk Don’t carry out procedure
RISK RATING RATING ACTION BANDS
Now that you’ve read about some of the correct procedures you should follow, before you learn how to assemble the machine we
would like you to carry out a risk assessment.
Prior to carrying out any procedure e.g. assembling the machine, fuelling or starting and using it, you will benet from conducting a
risk assessment. To compile the assessment you should consider the hazards associated with your planned actions and rate the
risk of their possible occurence. A hazard is anything that can cause harm and a risk is the likelihood, high or low, that someone
will be harmed by the hazard. Make a list of all the hazards associated with your planned actions and using the table below rate
them. Your objective is to prevent injury by developing control measures as part of your operating procedures. Ideally, you should
try to remove every hazard so that there is no risk of it occurring. Please think about the environment you’ll be working in before
you commence each job and include the hazards in your assessment, consider the ground you’ll be clearing and whether it may be
slippery, the obstacles you may encounter and the dangers associated with transporting your machine and the fuel.
Here is an example to help you:
A hazard could be the potential for a person or animal to be hit by ying debris blown by the machine whilst being operated in
blower mode. The risk of harm could be very high. A control measure would be to ensure that there is no living presence within a
certain distance of the machine during operation. This could be accomplished by signage or cordening o󰀨 the working area. The
operator of the machine must, of course, wear full protective clothing

The Engine.
Fuel and fuelling.
Your machine is tted with a two-stroke
combustion engine.
Instead of a separate
oil tank to lubricate the
internal components a
semi-synthetic two-stroke
oil is mixed with unlead-
ed petrol. Petrol is highly ammable and
must be stored in an approved contain-
er in a safe, cool place, out of direct
sunlight. Petrol becomes stale over time
so only store su󰀩cient quantities for the
work required. Once you’ve mixed the
fuel you should use it within 30 days.
The container supplied with your machine
is marked to show you the correct petrol
and oil quantities, the ratio is 40 parts
petrol to 1 part oil (40:1). If you wish to
mix larger quantities please refer to the
table below.
Fuel (L) Oil (mL)

through the carburettor, you’ll hear and
feel the change from air to liquid.
If the engine is cold, put
the choke lever to the
START position (up) to
richen the mixture by
reducing the amount of
air entering the engine.
If the engine is warm
please leave the choke in
the run position.
Press the red ON/OFF
switch to the ON (I)
position.
With the machine on
rm ground press down
on the handle with your
left hand and pull the
recoiling starter handle
slowly with your right
hand until you feel
resistance (about 6cm) at which point
pull the starter smartly upwards (about
60cm). If the engine res or tries to run,
set the choke to the RUN position (down)
and repeat the procedure until the engine
runs. N.B. Return the starter handle
slowly to carefully allow the cord to recoil,
do not release the handle until it’s at its
Shake the fuel/oil mixture before use,
every time, to ensure the oil is well dis-
tributed.
To minimise the risk of
dirt entering the fuel
supply, it’s good practice
to clean the area around
the ller cap with a sti󰀨
brush prior to opening.
Remove the cap slowly
in case the tank has become pressur-
ised and fuel the machine in an upright
position as shown, in a well ventilated
area. Tighten the cap rmly and clean
any spillage immediately.
Starting the engine.
Under no circumstances must the engine
be started if the machine is not fully as-
sembled for use.
In a safe environment
and wearing the cor-
rect personal protective
equipment (PPE) press

resting position. Let the engine run for a
few moments to reach its correct work-
ing temperature. Squeeze the throttle
beneath the handle with your index nger
to increase the engine’s revs when you’re
ready to commence work.
Alternatively you may
prefer to set the revs to
a constant speed by ad-
justing the friction throttle
adjacent to the ON/OFF
switch.
Running out of fuel.
It’s inevitable that the machine will run
out of fuel from time to time. When this
occurs simply re-fuel once the engine has
cooled and repeat the starting procedure
remembering to ll the carburettor with
fuel by pressing the fuel primer bulb a few
times.
Stopping the engine.
Release the throttle and allow the engine
to idle. Press the red ON/OFF switch on
top of the handle to the OFF (0) position
and the machine will stop.
Adjusting the engine idle
speed.
The idle speed of your
engine is the speed
that it rotates with-
out you touching the
throttle. If it’s incorrect,
you can make a simple
adjustment using the
screwdriver in your tool kit. Make sure
the engine’s reached normal operating
temperature ( 2- 3 minutes). Locate the
idle adjustment screw adjacent to the
choke lever and rotate it clockwise, if your
engine’s stalling or anti-clockwise if it’s
running too fast.
Cleaning the air lter.
After every 10 hours of operation your
machine will benet from having the air
lter cleaned. A dirty lter makes the
engine less e󰀩cient and harder to start.
To access your air lter,
unscrew the securing
knob on the cover by
turning it anti-clockwise.
Slowly withdraw the cov-
er taking care to avoid

the choke lever. The air
lter is a soft sponge-like
material which is held in
position by supporting
rods moulded into the
housing.
Lift the lter out, wash it
in warm soapy water until
it’s throughly cleaned
and allow it to dry. Take
care to re-install it so that
the supporting rods are
inside the central hole in
the lter which will ensure that it’s correct-
ly positioned.
Checking the spark plug.
The compressed air and fuel mixture in
your engine is ignited by an electrical
charge created by a spark plug. If your
engine’s performance has deteriorated
you may like to check the spark plug.
To do so please make
sure the engine isn’t hot
and raise the cover to the
right of the upper handle
using your index nger or
the at blade of a screw-

Carefully examine the
plug’s electrode, this is
where the spark occurs
and it must not be burnt
away. If it is, replace
the spark plug with a
new Champion RCJ6Y
or equivalent. If your
engine’s running correct-
ly, the area around the
electrode should be a tan
brown colour. If it’s black
and oily the fuel mixture
may be too rich or the air lter could be
dirty. If the electrode looks intact, clean
it thoroughly with a wire brush and then,
using a feeler gauge
measure the gap and
carefully re-set it to 0.6
mm - 0.7 mm if neces-
sary. The spark plug
should be replaced every
100 hours. Re-install
the plug into the engine’s cylinder head
using your index nger and thumb. You
can rotate it anti-clockwise a little if the
threads do not engage immediately and
then try again. The plug should screw
into the engine freely which proves the
driver and lift it o󰀨. You will now see the
spark plug lead and insulated cap.
Hold the cap with your
thumb and index nger
and carefully pull it away
from the engine, you may
nd it helps to rotate the
cap backwards and for-
wards a little as you pull.
The spark plug screws directly into the
engine’s cylinder head above the piston
and it is vital that nothing enters this area
so carefully clean away any dirt or debris.
When you’re certain the area is clean, put
on a pair of gloves to protect your hands
and engage the box spanner in your
machine’s tool kit with the spark plug.
With the engine on a
rm surface, press down
(anti-clockwise) on the
tool’s lever to undo the
plug. Initially, you may
nd it requires quite a lot
of force. Once you’ve
loosened the plug, con-
tinue unscrewing it using
the wrench.

threads are not crossed. After about four
rotations the plug will be seated at which
point you should tighten it, either rmly
with the box spanner or a torque wrench
set to 20Nm.
Replacing the fuel lter.
The fuel lter should be replaced annually
or if no other reason can be found for a
drop in the engine’s performance.
To replace the fuel lter
unscrew the fuel tank
ller cap and holding the
plastic retainer between
your thumb and index
nger, ease the retaining
piece through the ller neck and detach
the assembly from the tank.
Next, take a length of
fairly sti󰀨 wire, bend a
hook in one end and feed
it into the tank. Work the
wire around the fuel line,
not the breather tube and
coax it towards the opening. You will
see the lter at the end of the fuel line.
Lift it until you can access the ears of the
spring clip which secures the lter to the
