POWER BLOWERTM INFORMATION
e Tempest Power BlowerTM is a high powered, portable
fan used for Positive Pressure Ventilation and Attack (PPV/
PPA), ventilation techniques that quickly and eciently replace
hazardous interior environments with clean, cool air.
PPV and PPA were pioneered in the reghting industry where
reghters use the Tempest Power BlowerTM to ventilate smoke,
heat, and harmful gases from buildings. is creates a safer
environment for them to work in and makes it easier for them to
nd victims and extinguish the re.
PPV and PPA rely on two principles, (1) an air pattern capable of
creating an eective door seal, and (2) pressure. To accomplish
Positive Pressure Ventilation or Attack, the blower is placed on
the outside of the structure. It is positioned so that the air pattern
created by the blower completely seals the entrance opening, or
at least 2/3 of it. When this seal is achieved, the air pressure is
increased equally at all points inside the structure. When an
exhaust opening is created, all of the interior air moves in one
mass towards it. e result is fast, ecient ventilation of the entire
structure.
NOTE: e Tempest Power BlowerTM is the most ecient
tool for PPV and PPA for two reasons. First, the exclusive
Tempest Turbo 2000 tapered shroud design creates a wide,
stable, conical air pattern. Second, the airex impeller used
on all Tempest blowers is designed to create high pressure.
ese two features working together make the Tempest
Power BlowerTM a highly eective and ecient ventilation
tool.
As with any new technique, Positive Pressure Ventilation requires
training and education in order to be implemented properly
and safely. Tempest oers access to a complete line of training
materials, which cover many applications for this powerful
ventilation technique. For more information visit www.tempest.

carburetor malfunction, service the air cleaner regularly. More
frequent service may be necessary when the blower is operated in
extremely dusty conditions.
CAUTION: DO NOT RUN THE ENGINE WITH THE
AIR CLEANER REMOVED. RAPID ENGINE WEAR WILL
RESULT FROM CONTAMINANTS, SUCH AS DUST AND
DIRT BEING DRAWN THROUGH THE CARBURETOR
AND INTO THE ENGINE.
CLEANING AIR FILTER ELEMENTS
Foam Element:
1. Wash the element in a solution of household detergent and
warm water, then rinse thoroughly. Allow the element to dry
completely.
2. Soak the element in clean engine oil, and squeeze out the

much oil is le in the foam element.
Paper Element:
1. To remove excess dirt, tap the element lightly several times
on a hard surface or blow compressed air through the lter
from the inside out.
2. Do not try to brush the dirt o. Brushing will force dirt into
the lter bers.
3. Replace the element if it becomes excessively dirty. You can
order/purchase paper elements through Tempest or your
local hardware home improvement store.
COOLING SYSTEM
Frequently remove dirt and debris from the cooling ns, air intake
screen, levers and linkage. is will ensure adequate cooling and
correct engine speed. Refer to the engine manufacturer’s owner’s
manual for additional cooling system information.
SPARK PLUG
A correctly ring spark plug is essential for the blower to operate
properly. Check the engine spark plug every six (6) months or
every 100 hours by following the listed procedures.
1. Clean the area around the spark plug.
2. Remove and inspect the spark plug.
3. Replace the spark plug if the electrodes are pitted, burned,
or the porcelain is cracked. Check the electrode gap with
a wire feeler gauge and set to the engine manufacturer’s
specications.
4. Make sure the spark plug washer is in good condition, and
start threading the spark plug by hand to prevent cross
threading.
5. Aer the spark plug is seated, tighten with a spark plug
wrench to compress the washer.
CARBURETOR
All carburetors comply with US federal & state regulations and are
preset by the engine manufacturer. Engine performance may dier
at various altitudes and climates. If you feel that the carburetor on
your blower needs adjusting contact Tempest or your local engine
dealer.
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
US State regulations require that all manufacturers of gas powered
engines furnish written instructions describing the operation and
maintenance of the emission control systems. ese instructions
vary depending on engine type. Please refer to your engine
manufacturer owner’s manual for specic information and
instructions.
BELT ADJUSTMENT
e blower’s drive belt has been adjusted at the factory prior
to delivery. However, the belt should be inspected and checked
aer the initial three (3) hours of operation as it may require
retightening due to belt stretch. It should be inspected aer every
20 hours of operating time. Operating the blower with a loose

POWER BLOWERTM TROUBLESHOOTING
Various factors can contribute to or be the sole cause of problems
for gas Power BlowersTM.is section will identify some of these
problems and provide solutions to correct them.
BLOWER FAILS TO START
• Check for fuel in the tank; make sure the fuel shut o valve
is open.
• Check the fuel line to determine if the carburetor is getting
fuel.
• Check to see if the fuel tank has been overlled. Too much
fuel in the tank, or tilting the unit too far can clog the charcoal
lter located in the fuel cap, inhibiting fuel ow.
• Check the oil level, HONDA® engines are quipped with
automatic oil alert systems. e engine will not start if oil is
low.
• Check the spark plug for a spark:
1. Remove the spark plug wire, clean any dirt from around
the spark plug base and remove the plug.
2. Install the spark plug into the plug cap.
3. Ground the plug to the engine and pull the starter to see
if a spark jumps the gap. DO NOT HOLD THE SPARK
PLUG IN YOUR HANDS; hold the spark plug cap or
wire.
4. If a spark is present, replace the spark plug and wire
then try starting the engine.
• If the blower still does not start, contact Tempest or your local
engine dealer.
POOR BLOWER PERFORMANCE
• Check the air lter for cleanliness, clean if dirty.
• If the blower is a Belt-Drive, make sure the belt is tight.
• If the blower is a Direct-Drive, make sure the blade is tight.
• If the fuel is more then two months old, replace the fuel with
fresh fuel.
• If blower is still not performing as normal, contact Tempest at
800.346.2143 or [e-mail].
BLOWER MOVEMENT OR “WALKING”
• Adjust the rubber footpads on the back of the blower by
turning them either in or out.
• Adjust the side that is walking. is will help to evenly
distribute the weight of the blower to all four points of the
frame.
• Most blowers will walk if not running at full speed, make sure
the blower is running at full speed.
• Make sure the blower is sitting at and not on small rocks or
other objects.
• If blower is still walking, contact Tempest at 800.346.2143 or
