5. Before starting the equipment
5.1 Assembly
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 screws (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 blow 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.
5.2 Fuel and oil
Recommended fuels
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.
Please note: Only use containers designed and
approved for the purpose to transport and store fuel.
Pour the correct quantities of petrol and 2-stroke oil
into the mixing bottle (see scale printed on the bottle).
Then shake the bottle well.
5.3 Fuel mixture table
Mixing procedure: 40 parts petrol to 1 part oil
6. Operation
Please note that the statutory regulations governing
noise abatement may differ from town to town.
6.1 Cold start (4a-4c)
Fill the tank with the required amount of oil/petrol
mix. See “Fuel and oil”.
1. Place the equipment safely and securely on the
ground.
2. Set the ON/OFF switch (2) to “I” (Fig. 4a)
3. Press the throttle lever (4) until it locks (Fig. 4a)
4. Press the fuel pump (12) (Fig. 4b) 10 times.
5. Set the choke lever (13) to “ ”.
6. Hold the equipment firmly by the handle.
7. Pull the starter cable out a short way until you
feel resistance – it must be pulled evenly and
quickly to start the engine. When the engine is
running, set the choke lever to “ “.
8. Allow the engine to warm up for approx. 10
seconds.
9. Press the throttle lever lock. The throttle lever will
jump back into its idling position.
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 allow rope to snap back from
extended position. This could cause rope to snag or
fray and also damage the starter assembly.
6.2 STARTING A WARM ENGINE (Engine has
been stopped for no more than 15-20
minutes)
1. Pull starter rope again. 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).
2. If engine does not start, or starts and then stops
after 5 rope pulls, follow procedure “STARTING
A COLD ENGINE”.
