Assembly
Blower Tube and Nozzle: Align the rib on the upper blower tube with the groove in the blower outlet and secure it by turning the bolt clockwise. Align the slots on the lower blower tube with the tabs on the upper tube and rotate clockwise until it clicks.
Vacuum Tubes: Release the latch on the vacuum inlet using a screwdriver. Align the ribs on the inlet with the slots on the upper vacuum tube, ensuring the lock symbol aligns with the unlock symbol, then rotate clockwise until it clicks.
Operation
Fuel: Use a mixture of gasoline (minimum 90 RON/87 AKI, max 10% ethanol) and high-quality two-cycle engine oil at a 50:1 (2%) ratio. Do not use leaded gasoline.
Starting: Fill the fuel tank, press the primer bulb 10 times, set the choke to full, and pull the starter rope handle until the engine attempts to start. Move the choke to the 1/2 position and pull until the engine starts. Warm up for 1 minute before use.
