Thank you for purchasing the Lawn Star Pro-Series 2-stroke petrol Blower which is one of the finest and
most advanced products today’s technology can produce. Before you begin using it, please read this
manual carefully and familiarise yourself with the control and the proper use of this product to ensure you
get the best possible performance from it.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Inspect your Blower and all its parts before each operation. If any part is damaged or worn, repair or
replace before operation. Use only genuine Lawn Star (Pty) Ltd. replacement parts when servicing or
repairing the unit. These parts are available from your supplying dealer or service agent. Have the blower
repaired only by an authorised repairer.
WARNING: Petrol and its vapours are highly flammable. Always stop the engine before refuelling. Do
not smoke or light any flames while refuelling. Wipe off any fuel that may have spilled. Start the engine
away from the place where it was refuelled. Ensure the tank cap is tightened properly.
CAUTION: Exhaust fumes are toxic and asphyxiating. Inhalation may be lethal. Do not start the engine
in closed or poorly ventilated environments.
It is essential that the operator wears safety goggles, face shield, gloves, ear muffs, protective
clothing and sturdy, non-slip footwear with toe-protector.
Inspect the unit before use. Replace damaged parts. Check for petrol leaks. Make sure all fasteners are in
place and secure. Failure to do so can result in personal injury to the operator and bystanders, as well as
damage to the unit. Children, pets and onlookers should be kept at least 15 meters away from the work
area, unless shielded by an effective barrier. If you are approached by a person or pet during use stop the
engine immediately. Never start or run the unit inside a closed room or building. Breathing exhaust fumes
can cause serious harm to a person or animal. Operate this unit only in a well-ventilated area outdoors.
Never run the unit without the proper equipment attached. When using this unit, always install the blower
tube. Switch the engine off and wait for the impeller to stop turning before putting the unit down,
performing maintenance, installing or removing the blower tubes or carrying out any maintenance.
Disconnect the spark plug before servicing or cleaning. Do not blow wet materials, liquids, flammable
materials, hot ash or any others materials that are a potential fire hazard. The operator and unit must be in
a stable position when starting the engine. Do not overreach. Always keep proper footing and balance. Do
not touch the engine or exhaust. These parts get extremely hot from operation. When turned off they
remain hot for a while. Do not operate the unit with loose or damaged parts. Do not operate before
repairing the damaged parts. Do not place unit on any surface except a clean, hard area while engine is
running. Debris such as gravel, sand, dust, grass, etc, could be picked up by the air intake and thrown out
by the discharge opening, damaging the unit, property, or causing serious injury to bystanders or operator.
Keep hands, face, and feet at a distance from all moving parts. Do not touch or try to stop the impeller
when it is rotating. Never point the Blower in the direction of people or pets, or in the direction of
windows. Always direct the blown debris away from people, animals, windows, and solid objects such as
vehicles etc. Allow the engine to cool and empty the fuel before storing or transporting. Be sure to secure
the unit while transporting. Store the unit in a dry secured area to prevent unauthorised use or damage.
Keep out of the reach of children. Never douse or squirt the unit with water or any other liquid. Keep
handles dry, clean and free from debris. Clean after each use, see Cleaning and Storage instructions.
Before using the appliance, ensure the blower tube is correctly fitted.

PREPARATION FOR USE
WARNING: To prevent serious personal injury, do not attempt to attach the tube while the engine
is running and the impeller is turning.
1. Align the Slot (Fig 1-1) on the upper blower tube with the tab(Fig 1-2) on the blower housing. Slide
the tube in and rotate 90 degrees clockwise to secure (Fig 1). Secure with screw supplied(Fig 1-3)
2. Align the slots on the lower blower tube with the tabs on the upper tube (Fig 2).
3. Slide the lower blower tube onto the upper blower tube.
4. Turn the lower blower tube clockwise until a click is felt to secure the lower blower tube to the upper
blower tube.
NOTE: When the upper and lower blower tubes are assembled together properly, the arrows on both
tubes will be aligned. ( )
WARNING:
Before starting engine, the upper blower tube must be installed.
FUELLING
This product is equipped with a 2-stroke engine which requires 2-stroke lubricating oil to be pre-mixed
with petrol. Use only genuine Lawn Star 2-stroke engine oil (Part No. 90-20000) and use lead-free petrol
(Octane 95). Mix both thoroughly (as per fuel-mix ratio) in a separate container. Always prepare the fuel-
mixture and refuel the blower outside in a well-ventilated environment. Do not smoke! Do not use marine
or automotive 2-stroke oil.
Oil/fuel mix ratio for normal 2-stroke engine oil 1:25 (4%) e.g. 40 ml of oil per 1 litre of petrol or 200ml
of oil per 5 litres of petrol.
Always stop the engine before refuelling. Do not smoke or light any flames while refuelling. Wipe off
any fuel that may have spilled. Start the engine away from the place where it was refuelled. Ensure the
tank cap is tightened properly.

STARTING COLD ENGINE AND STOPPING
1. Switch the ON/OFF switch (No 1 Fig 3) to the “ON” position.
2. Lift the choke lever (No 11 Fig 4) located to the right of the air-filter cover into the (H) ON position.
3. Repeatedly press the primer bulb (No 10 Fig.4) 5-10 times.
4. Slightly open the throttle by pulling the throttle lock lever (No 2 Fig 3) slightly backwards to fast idle
position.
6. Pull the recoil starter handle (No 8 Fig 4) 5 times fully, engine may start.
7. Push the choke lever (No 11 Fig 4) down to the off position (lll).
8. If the engine did not start, pull the recoil starter handle (No 8 Fig 4) repeatedly until the engine starts
and allow to run for a few seconds to warm.
9. Push the throttle lock lever (No 2 Fig 3) fully forward into the idle position and the engine should idle.
10. To stop the engines switch the ON/OFF switch (No 1 Fig 3) to the “OFF” position.
STARTING WARM ENGINE
Proceed as with cold engine start but with the choke lever in the OFF/RUN position lll .
STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE
Flooded engines can be started by moving the choke lever (No 11 Fig 4) down to the off position (lll) and
fully squeezing the throttle trigger. Pull the recoil starter handle (No 8 Fig 4) repeatedly while squeezing
throttle trigger until engine starts and runs. This could require pulling the starter handle many times,
depending on how badly the unit is flooded. If the unit still doesn’t start, refer to the
TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before operating the unit, stand in the operating position and check that the harness is correctly adjusted.
Ensure the operator is wearing proper clothing, such as boots, safety glasses or goggles, ear/hearing
protection, gloves and long pants.
OPERATING TIPS
Ensure the blower is not directed at loose debris or persons before starting it. The blower is in good
working condition and the blower tubes and guards are in place and secure. To reduce the risk of hearing
loss associated with sound level(s), the use of hearing protection is required. Watch out for children, pets,
open windows, or freshly washed cars etc. when blowing debris away. Start engine (see starting/stopping
instructions).
1. Place the shoulder harness over your head or onto your shoulder, and adjust it properly.
2. Hold the blower as shown in Fig 5 with the exhaust muffler (No 5 Fig 4) facing away from your body
and clothing. Sweep from side to side with the nozzle several inches above the ground or floor.
Advance slowly, keeping the accumulated pile of debris in front of you.
3. Most dry blowing operations are better suited to low speed than high. High speed is better for moving
heavier items like large debris or gravel.
4. Use the blower for trees, shrubs, flower beds and hard to clean areas.
5. Use the blower around buildings and for other normal cleaning.
6. Use the blower for walls, overhangs and screens.

NOTE: Do not clean filter in gasoline or other flammable solvent. Doing so can create a fire hazard
or produce harmful evaporative emissions.
6. Allow filter to dry.
7. Apply a few drops of oil to the filter; squeeze filter to distribute oil.
8. Check filter for damage and replace if damaged.
9. Reassemble ensuring that the filter is correctly seated and secure the filter cover with the securing

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENTS
The carburettor has been carefully set at the factory. Adjustments may be necessary if you notice any of
the following conditions:
