Setup and Assembly
Unpacking and Initial Inspection
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any damage. Ensure all parts listed in the packing list are present.
Assembly Instructions
- Attach Blower Tubes: The blower tube typically comes in multiple sections. Align the sections and push them together until they securely click into place. Some models may use clips or screws for additional security.
- Install Control Handle (if applicable): If your model includes a separate control handle for the blower tube, attach it to the designated slot on the tube. Ensure it is firmly secured and allows for comfortable operation.
- Connect Flexible Hose (if applicable): For models with a flexible hose connecting the engine unit to the blower tube, attach the hose securely to both ends using the provided clamps.
Fuel Preparation
This RYOBI blower uses a 2-cycle engine and requires a specific gasoline-to-oil mixture. Refer to the fuel tank cap or the engine label for the exact ratio. A common ratio for 25cc 2-cycle engines is 25:1 or 40:1. Always use fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 89 or higher and a high-quality 2-cycle engine oil.
- Mix the gasoline and 2-cycle oil in a separate, approved fuel container.
- Shake the container thoroughly to ensure proper mixing.
- Do not mix fuel directly in the blower's fuel tank.
Fueling the Blower
- Place the blower on a level surface.
- Clean the area around the fuel cap to prevent dirt from entering the tank.
- Carefully remove the fuel cap.
- Pour the prepared fuel mixture into the fuel tank using a funnel to avoid spills.
- Do not overfill. Leave space for fuel expansion.
- Securely replace the fuel cap.

Maintenance
Regular Checks
- Air Filter: Regularly inspect and clean the air filter to ensure proper engine performance and prevent overheating. Replace if damaged.

- Fuel Lines: Inspect fuel lines for cracks or leaks. Replace any damaged lines immediately.
- General Cleaning: Keep the blower's air intake and exterior free of debris to maintain optimal airflow and prevent engine strain.
Storage
- For long-term storage, drain all fuel from the tank and run the engine until it stops to clear the carburetor.
