Fuel Mixing

This leaf blower uses a 2-stroke engine and requires a specific fuel mixture. Using incorrect fuel or mix ratio will damage the engine and void the warranty.

• Fuel Type: Use fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 89 or higher.
• Oil Type: Use high-quality 2-stroke engine oil specifically designed for air-cooled engines.
• Mixing Ratio: The recommended fuel-to-oil mixing ratio is 25:1 (25 parts gasoline to 1 part 2-stroke oil).
• Mixing Procedure:
  1. Pour half of the required gasoline into an approved fuel container.
  2. Add the entire amount of 2-stroke oil.
  3. Shake the container vigorously to mix the oil and gasoline thoroughly.
  4. Add the remaining gasoline and shake again.
• Always mix fuel in a well-ventilated area, away from sparks or open flames.
• Do not store mixed fuel for more than 30 days.

Operating Instructions

Starting the Engine (Cold Start)

1. Place the blower on a flat, stable surface.
2. Ensure the starter switch (9) is in the "ON" position.
3. Push the primer bulb several times until fuel is visible in the clear return line.
4. Move the choke control lever (4) to the "CLOSED" (choke) position.
5. Pull the engine pull cord (2) slowly until resistance is felt, then pull sharply and quickly until the engine attempts to start (usually 1-3 pulls).
6. Once the engine attempts to start, move the choke control lever (4) to the "OPEN" (run) position.
7. Pull the engine pull cord (2) again until the engine starts.
8. Allow the engine to warm up for 30-60 seconds before applying full throttle.

Starting the Engine (Warm Start)

• Ensure the starter switch (9) is in the "ON" position.
• The choke may not be necessary. If the engine does not start after a few pulls, try moving the choke control lever (4) to the "CLOSED" position for one pull, then immediately return it to "OPEN" and continue pulling.

Operating the Blower

• Once the engine is running and warmed up, put the blower on your back.
• Use the wind control (throttle trigger) (7) to adjust the airflow speed.
• For consistent airflow during long tasks, engage the constant wind speed (cruise control) button (8). Adjust the desired speed, then press the cruise control button to maintain it.
• Direct the blower tube towards the debris you wish to clear. Use a sweeping motion for best results.

Stopping the Engine

• To access the air filter, open the filter cover.
• Remove the foam pre-filter and the paper filter element.
• Clean the foam filter with warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to air dry completely before reinstallation.
• Tap the paper filter gently to remove loose debris. Replace if heavily soiled or damaged.
• Reassemble the filters and secure the cover.

General Cleaning and Storage
