Transporting the blower
CAUTION:
When transporting the
blower, be sure to stop the engine.
NOTICE:
Do not sit or stand on the blower
or put a heavy object on it. It may damage
the machine.
NOTICE:
Maintain the blower in an upright
position whenever transporting or storing.
Transporting or storing in a position that is not
upright may cause oil to spill inside the blower
engine. This may result in oil leaks and white
smoke from burning oil, and the air cleaner
may become dirty with oil.
NOTICE:
Do not drag the blower when
transporting. Otherwise the blower housing
may be damaged.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
Before inspection and main-
tenance, stop the engine and allow it to
cool down. Remove the spark plug and plug
cap. Otherwise the operator may suffer burn or
serious injury due to an accidental start-up.
CAUTION:
After inspection and main-
tenance, make sure that all parts are
assembled.
Replacing engine oil
CAUTION:
The engine main unit and
engine oil still remain hot just after the
engine is stopped. When replacing engine
oil, make sure that the engine main unit
and engine oil are sufficiently cooled down.
Otherwise, there may remain a risk of scald.
Allow sufficient time after stopping engine for
the engine oil to return to the oil tank to ensure
accurate reading of the oil amount.
CAUTION:
If the oil filled above the
limit, it may become dirty or may catch fire
with white smoke.
NOTICE:
Never discard replaced engine oil
in garbage, ground or sewage. Disposal of
oil is regulated by law. In disposal, always fol-
low the relevant laws and regulations. For any
points remaining unknown, contact Authorized
Service Agent.
NOTICE:
Oil will deteriorate even when
it is kept unused. Perform inspection and
replacement at regular intervals (replace with
new oil every 6 months).
