Basic maintenance made easy.
WARNING! If your Blower or Blower Vac is not serviced correctly,
you could void warranty and reduce its ability to operate
effectively.
1. Spark plug.
Wait until the engine has cooled before disconnecting the spark plug cover and then
removing the spark plug with the box spanner supplied. If it is dirty, you can clean the
plug with a wire brush.
The applicable spark plug for this machine is the NGK BPMR7A. For optimum results
we advise you to replace the spark plug after 20 hours of use.
When refi tting the spark plug take care not to over-tighten. If adjusting yourself, note that
the spark plug gap must be set to 0.6 to 7.0mm.
2. Air fi lter.
Ensure that the engine is cool, remove the air fi lter cover and then take out the air fi lter
element, see
(Figure 11)
. Put the cover back on the housing immediately to prevent any
objects falling into the air intake.
Carefully brush off any excess dirt particles, or clean fi lter element using lukewarm soapy
water. When cleaning with water, rinse thoroughly and allow to dry before replacing air
fi lter element.
3. Storing petrol and oil.
WARNING! Petrol is highly fl ammable so extreme caution must
be taken. Always store petrol in approved containers and ensure
petrol is less than three months old.
