A
Control Identification and Use
WARNING
Thoroughly inspect the area where the Blower is to be used and remove all foreign objects. Your equipment can throw
small objects at high speed causing personal injury or property damage.
Keep all children and bystanders at least 50 ft (15 m) away when operating. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.
1. Throttle:
The throttle is located on the upper handle.
Rotating the lever downward will increase the engine
speed. Rotating the lever to the up-most position will
return to idle speed. (Fig. 9)
2. Start/Stop Switch:
An ignition switch is located on the engine shroud.
The switch must be in the "on" position for the engine
to run. Moving the switch to the "off" position will stop
the engine. (Fig. 10)

Before Starting the Engine
Mixing Fuel / 2-Cycle Oil
WARNING
Do not smoke or allow smoking near fuel or the Blower. Mix and pour fuel outdoors WHERE THERE ARE NO SPARKS
OR FLAMES.
The 2-cycle engine on your Blower requires that fuel and
2-cycle engine oil be pre-mixed before adding to the
blower's fuel tank. To mix the fuel/ 2-cycle oil:
1. Use fresh unleaded gasoline with an octane rating
of 87 or higher. Do not use gasoline containing more
than 10% ethanol.
NOTICE
Use of gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol can
damage Blower. Use of non-ethanol gasoline is best.
We recommend the continuous use of a fuel additive/
stabilizer to counteract the effects of ethanol. These
additives also prolong the shelf life of gasoline.
2. Always use 2-cycle oil that meets or exceeds
JASO – FC specifications and is intended for mixing at
a fuel/oil ratio of 50:1
3. Do not use automotive or 2-cycle marine outboard oil.
These will damage your Blower's engine and void
the warranty.
4. Always mix the gasoline and 2-cycle oil in a container
approved for gasoline. Never mix fuel directly in the
blower's fuel tank.

5. Follow instructions on 2-cycle oil container for mixing
fuel. Mix gasoline and 2-cycle oil at a ratio of 50:1.
A mixture with a 50:1 ratio is obtained by mixing
1 gallon (4 liters) of gasoline with 2.6 ounces of oil
(77 ml). After adding oil to gasoline, shake container
momentarily to ensure proper mixing.
6. Mix only enough fuel for your immediate needs.
Do not store pre-mixed fuel.
7. Stop engine and allow to cool before refueling.
8. To fill the Blower's fuel tank with the gasoline/oil
mixture, place the Blower upright on the ground or on
a sturdy bench and wipe any debris from around
the fuel cap.
9. Remove fuel cap slowly and use a funnel to pour the
mixture into the tank, and replace the fuel cap.
10. Avoid spilling fuel or oil. Wipe up all fuel spills.
11. Move at least 10 ft (3 m) away from fueling site
before starting engine.
