NOTE:
The unit uses the SUPER START STARTING
SYSTEM, which significantly reduces the effort required
to start the engine. You must pull the starter rope out far
enough to hear the engine attempt to start. There is no
need to pull the rope briskly--there is no harsh
resistance when pulling. Be aware that this starting
method is vastly different from (and much easier than)
what you may be used to.
4.
With the unit on the ground, hold the top assist
handle and step on the bottom of the frame with
foot. (Fig.12)
5.
Pull starter rope 4-6 times-if unit does not start
move choke lever to position 2 and pull 4-6 more
times (Fig. 13). Wait 10 sec. after unit starts then
move choke lever to position 3. (Fig.14)
6.
Press trigger to run.
NOTE:
If engine fails to start after repeated attempts,
refer to Troubleshooting section.
NOTE:
Always pull starter rope straight out. Pulling
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 starter handle when rope
retracts. Never let a rope snap back from extended
position. This could cause rope to snag or fray and also
damage the starter assembly.
IMPORTANT IDLING INFORMATION
In some cases due to operating conditions (altitude,
temperature etc.) your blower may need a slight
adjustment to the idle speed.
After warm up, If unit does not Idle after restarting 2
times, follow these steps to adjust idle.
1.
Locate the idle adjustment screw (G) on the c
arburetor (Fig. 15).
2.
Using a Phillips or slotted screwdriver - turn screw
1/4 to 1/2 turn clockwise (to the right). Unit should
then idle properly.

to stop blower engine immediately, PRESS the OFF
“STOP

(Fig.16).
Normal Stopping Method.
For normal stopping,
release trigger and allow engine to return to idle speed.
Then PRESS the OFF “STOP
” switch (A) until the
engine stops completely. (Fig. 16)
