Spark plug maintenance
Worn spark plugs or a spark gap
that is too large will result in a re-
duction of motor power.
1. Turn off the device.
2. Pull the spark plug connectors
(11) from the spark plugs (38).
3. Unscrew the spark plug (38)
counter clockwise with a spark
plug wrench (Service key 32).
4. Check the spark plug gap with
the help of a feeler gauge (avail-
able from specialised dealers).
The electrode air gap must be
0.6-0.7 mm.
5. Reset the gap if necessary, by
carefully bending the ground/
side electrode of the spark plug.
6. Clean the spark plug with a wire
brush.
7. Reinsert the cleaned and re-
set spark plug or replace any
damaged spark plugs with a
new one (e.g. "Torch L8RTC or
Champion RCJ6Y" spark plug).
8. Replace the spark plug connec-
tor (11).
Replacing the collection bag
Replace a defective collection bag. Em-
ploy only original collection bags (see
chapters "Spare Parts"), otherwise the
guarantee claim is invalid.
Safekeeping
•
Keep the leaf blower in a dry, frost-free
location, which is inaccessible to chil-
dren.
•
Do not store the device in direct sunlight;
store it in dark or in reduced light condi-
tions.
•
Do not cover the device with nylon
bags, since moisture can form.
•
Clean the device thoroughly at the
season end and for storage during
wintering. Clean the collection bag by
removing it, emptying it and washing
with warm water and neutral soap. Re-
attach the dried bag again.
•
Ensure that all nuts, bolts and screws
are tightened so the equipment is in
safe, functional condition.
General storage instructions
Be environmentally friendly. Return the
tool, accessories and packaging to a recy-
cling centre when you have finished with
them.
Hand over the device at an utilization
location. The plastic and metal parts em-
ployed can be separated out into pure
materials and recycling can be implement-
ed. Ask your Service Center about this.
Defective units returned to us will be dis-
posed of for free.
Storage when not in operation
Failure to follow the storage instruc-
tions may leave fuel remnants in
the carburettor, which in turn can
cause start-up problems or perma-
nent damage.
1. Drain the fuel tank in a well-ventilated
place.
2. Start the engine, allowing it to idle until
the engine stops and the carburettor is
free of fuel.
3. Let the engine cool off (about 5 min-
utes).
For operational breaks of more than
three months:
4. Loosen the spark plug with a spark
