CLEANING
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always turn your
unit off and allow it to cool before you clean or service it.
Use a small brush to clean off the outside of the unit. Do not use strong
detergents. Household cleaners that contain aromatic oils such as pine and
lemon, and solvents such as kerosene, can damage plastic housing or handle.
Wipe off any moisture with a soft cloth.
STORAGE
• Never store the unit with fuel in the tank where fumes may reach an open
flame or spark.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing.
• Lock up the unit to prevent unauthorized use or damage.
• Store the unit in a dry, well-ventilated area.
• Store the unit out of the reach of children.

LONG TERM STORAGE

If you plan on storing the unit for an extended time, use the following storage
procedure:
1. Remove all fuel from the fuel tank and dispose in accordance with
federal, state and local regulations
2. Start the engine and allow it to run until it stalls. This ensures that all
fuel has been drained from the carburetor.
3. Allow the engine to cool.
4. Remove the spark plug and put 3 - 5 drops of any high quality motor
oil or 2-cycle oil into the cylinder. Pull the starter rope slowly to
distribute the oil. Reinstall the spark plug.
NOTE: Remove the spark plug and drain all of the oil from the cylinder
before attempting to start the blower after storage.
5. Thoroughly clean the unit and inspect it for any loose or damaged
parts. Repair or replace damaged parts and tighten loose screws, nuts
or bolts. The unit is ready for storage.
