• Fuel Handling: Handle gasoline with extreme care. It is highly flammable. Store fuel in approved containers, away from ignition sources. Do not refuel while the engine is running or hot.
• Exhaust Fumes: The engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, and poisonous gas. Operate the blower only in well-ventilated outdoor areas.
• Clear Work Area: Ensure the work area is clear of bystanders, children, and pets. Inspect the area for objects that could be thrown by the air stream.
• Secure Grip: Maintain a firm grip on the blower handle at all times during operation.
• Engine Hot: The engine and muffler become very hot during operation and remain hot for a short time after stopping. Avoid touching hot surfaces.

Fuel Mixing

The PROYAMA PBB77 uses a 2-cycle engine and requires a specific gasoline-to-oil mixture. Use fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 89 or higher, mixed with high-quality 2-cycle engine oil.

• Mix Ratio: 1 part 2-cycle oil to 40 parts gasoline (1:40).
• Always mix fuel in an approved container.
• Shake the mixture thoroughly before pouring into the fuel tank.
• Do not use automotive oil or 4-cycle engine oil.

Initial Checks

• Ensure the fuel tank cap is securely tightened.
• Check that all connections on the blower tube and handle are secure.
• Inspect the air filter for cleanliness. Clean or replace if necessary.

Figure 6: Adjustable Handle for Control

Direct the airflow towards the debris you wish to move. Use a sweeping motion to gather leaves into piles. For stubborn debris, the flat nozzle can provide a more concentrated air stream.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your leaf blower. Always turn off the engine and allow it to cool before performing any maintenance.

Air Filter Cleaning

A dirty air filter can reduce engine performance and increase fuel consumption. Clean the air filter regularly.

1. Locate the air filter cover on the engine unit.
2. Remove the cover and carefully take out the air filter element.
3. Clean the filter by tapping it gently to remove loose dirt, or wash it with warm, soapy water if heavily soiled. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before reinstallation.
4. Replace the air filter if it is damaged or cannot be cleaned effectively.
