Items Included
2Assembling the Blower Vac
Blower tube assembly (Fig. 1a)
Push the blower tube (14) into the blower housing and secure the blower tube using the securing screw (19). Tighten the screw (19).
Suction extension assembly (Fig. 1b)
When in suction mode, the suction extension (16) can be assembled. For this, insert the suction extension (16) into the blower pipe (14).
Fitting the carrying strap (Fig. 2)
Attach the carrying strap clips to the eyelets on the handle provided for them.
Fitting the debris bag (3a – 3c)
Push the debris bag (11) over the debris bag adapter and secure it with the Velcro fastening (A) above the ridge (B) on the suction tube.
Attach the debris bag to the lug (C) on the blower/suction tube.
Use only a mixture of normal unleaded petrol and special 2-stroke engine oil.
Mix the fuel mixture as indicated on the fuel mixing table.
Please note: Do not use a fuel mixture which has been kept for longer than 90 days.
Please note: Do not use 2-stroke oil with a recommended mixing ration of 100:1. If inadequate
lubrication causes engine damage, the manufacturer’s engine warranty will be voided.
NOTE: If the engine fails to start after repeated attempts, refer to the Troubleshooting section of the manual.
Important: Always pull the starter rope straight out. Pulling the starter at an angle will cause rope to rub against the eyelet. This friction will cause the rope
to fray and wear more quickly. Always hold the starter handle when the rope retracts. Never allow the rope to snap back from an extended position. This
could cause the rope to snag or fray and also damage the starter assembly.
RESTARTING A WARM ENGINE (Engine has been stopped for no more than 15-20 minutes)
Place the Blower Vac safely and securely on the ground. Set the ON/OFF switch (2) to “I” (Fig. 4a). Pull starter rope again sharply. Engine should start with
ONE or TWO pulls. If engine fails to start after 6 pulls, repeat steps 2 through 6 (see Starting a cold engine). If engine does not start, or starts and then
stops after 5 rope pulls, follow procedure “STARTING A COLD ENGINE”.
Switching between suction and blower mode (Fig. 4 / Item 10). You can either blow or suck with this equipment.
• To activate the blower mode slide the suction/blower lever (10) to the right.
• To activate the suction mode slide the suction/blower lever (10) to the front.
Mixing the fuel
Pour the correct quantity of petrol into the mixing bottle (see scale printed on the bottle) and
then top up with the 2-stroke oil. Screw on the mixing bottle cap, and shake the bottle well.
