WARNING:

When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.

Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause

product damage.

WARNING:

Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to

comply with ANSI Z87.1, along with hearing protection.

Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into

your eyes and other possible serious injuries.

WARNING:

Before inspecting, cleaning, or servicing the machine,

shut off engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and

disconnect spark plug wire and move it away from spark

plug. Failure to follow these instructions can result in

serious personal injury or property damage.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most

plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of

commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use

clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, lubricant, grease, etc.

WARNING:

Do not at any time let brake ﬂuids, gasoline, petroleum-

based products, penetrating lubricants, etc., come in con-

tact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or

destroy plastic which may result in serious personal

injury.

OPERATION



To avoid serious injury to the operator or damage to the

unit, do not pick up rocks, metal, broken glass, bottles,

or other similar objects.



If the vacuum tubes should clog, stop the engine , ensure

impeller blades have stopped spinning, and disconnect

the spark plug wire before cleaning out the obstruction.



Remove the vacuum tubes and clear the debris from the

blower fan housing. Remove the bag and clear the tube.

A small rod or stick may be required to clear the entire

tube length. Ensure that all debris has been cleared before

reassembling the vacuum tubes.

MAINTENANCE

You can often make adjustments and repairs described here.

For other repairs, have the blower/vacuum serviced by an

authorized service dealer.

CLEANING THE AIR FILTER

See Figure 13 - 14.

For proper performance and long life, keep air ﬁlter clean.

 Remove the air ﬁlter cover by turning the dial counter-

clockwise while gently pulling on the cover.

 Rinse ﬁlter with clean water.

 Gently squeeze ﬁlter until excess water is removed.

Replace ﬁlter.

 Place the air ﬁlter cover back on the unit. Turn dial clock-

wise until cover is secure.

CLEANING THE EXHAUST PORT, MUFFLER

AND SPARK ARRESTOR

NOTE: Depending on the type of fuel used, the type and

amount of lubricant used, and/or your operating conditions, the

exhaust port, mufﬂer, and/or spark arrestor screen may be-

come blocked with carbon deposits. If you notice a power

loss with your gas powered tool, you may need to remove

these deposits to restore performance. We highly recom-

mend that only qualiﬁed service technicians perform this

service.

The spark arrestor must be cleaned or replaced every 50

hours or yearly to ensure proper performance of your prod-

uct. Spark arrestors may be in different locations depending

on the model purchased. Please contact your nearest service

dealer for the location of the spark arrestor for your model.

WARNING:

Never run the blower without the spark arrestor in place.

Failure to do so could result in a ﬁre that could cause

serious personal injury.

MAINTENANCE

VACUUM BAG

A dirty bag will reduce performance. To clean the bag, turn it

inside out and shake. Wash the bag in soapy water at least

once a year. To obtain a replacement bag, see How to Order

Replacement Parts on the back page of this manual.

FUEL CAP

WARNING:

Check for fuel leaks. A leaking fuel cap is a ﬁre hazard

and must be replaced immediately. If you ﬁnd any leaks,

correct the problem before using the product. Failure

to do so could result in a ﬁre that could cause serious

personal injury.

The fuel cap contains a non-serviceable filter and a

check valve. A clogged fuel ﬁlter will cause poor engine

performance. If performance improves when the fuel cap

is loosened, check valve may be faulty or ﬁlter clogged.

Replace fuel cap if required.

(CARB), and Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., are pleased to explain the

Emissions Control System Warranty on your 2009 model year non-road or small off-

road engine. In California, new equipment that uses small off-road engines must be

designed, built, and equipped to meet the state’s stringent anti-smog standards. In

other states, new 2000 and later model year non-road engines must be designed,

built, and equipped at the time of sale to meet the U.S. EPA regulations for small

non-road engines. The non-road engine must be free from defects in materials and

workmanship which cause it to fail to conform with U.S. EPA standards for the ﬁrst

two years of engine use from the date of sale to the ultimate purchaser. Techtronic

Industries North America, Inc., must warrant the emission control system on your

non-road or small off-road engine for the period of time listed above provided there

has been no abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance of your non-road or small

off-road engine.

Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel injection

system, the ignition system, catalytic converters, fuel tanks, valves, ﬁlters, clamps,

connectors, and other associated components. Also included may be hoses, belts

and connectors, and other emission-related assemblies.

Where a warrantable condition exists, Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., will

repair your non-road or small off-road engine at no cost to you, including diagno-

sis, parts, and labor performed at an authorized service center for RYOBI® brand

outdoor products.

MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE:

This product’s emissions control system is warranted for two years. If any emission-

related part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by

Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., free of charge.

OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES

(a) As the non-road or small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for

the performance of the required maintenance listed in your operator’s manual.

Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., recommends that you retain all re-

ceipts covering maintenance on your non-road or small off-road engine, but

Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., cannot deny warranty solely for the

lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled

maintenance. Any replacement part or service that is equivalent in performance

and durability may be used in non-warranty maintenance or repairs, and shall

not reduce the warranty obligations of Techtronic Industries North America, Inc.

(b) As the non-road or small off-road engine owner, you should be aware, however,

that Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., may deny you warranty coverage if

your non-road or small off-road engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect,

improper maintenance, or unapproved modiﬁcations.

authorized service dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should

be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you

should contact a Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., Customer Representa-

tive at 1-800-860-4050.

DEFECT WARRANTY COVERAGE REqUIREMENTS:

(a) The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment is delivered to

an ultimate purchaser.

(b) General Emissions Warranty Coverage. Techtronic Industries North America,

Inc., warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that your

non-road or small off-road engine is designed, built, and equipped at the time of sale

to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the California Air Resources

Board or the United States Environmental Protection Agency; and that it is free from

defects in materials and workmanship which cause the engine to fail to conform with

applicable regulations for a period of two years from the date the non-road or small

off-road engine is purchased by the initial purchaser.

warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required in the Emissions

Maintenance Schedule and Warranty Parts List set forth below is warranted for two

years. If any such part (including any part that is scheduled only for regular inspection)

fails during the period of warranty coverage, it will be repaired or replaced at any

RYOBI® Authorized Service Center at no charge. Any such part repaired or replaced

under warranty will be warranted for the remaining warranty period. A statement to

the effect of “repair or replace as necessary” would not reduce the period of war-

ranty coverage. Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required

maintenance in the Emissions Maintenance Schedule and Warranty Parts List is

warranted for the period of time prior to the ﬁrst scheduled replacement point for

that part. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty is warranted for the

remainder of the period prior to the ﬁrst scheduled replacement point, and will be

repaired or replaced at any RYOBI® Authorized Service Center for no charge until

that replacement point is reached.

Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., shall remedy warranty defects at any

authorized RYOBI® Authorized Service Center, including any distribution center

that may be franchised to service the subject engines. Any diagnostic work done

at a RYOBI® Authorized Service Center shall be free of charge to the owner if such

work determines that a warranted part is defective. Any manufacturer-approved or

equivalent replacement part may be used for any warranty maintenance or repairs

on emission-related parts, and must be provided free of charge to the owner if the

part is still under warranty. Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., is liable for

damages to other engine components caused by the failure of a warranted part

still under warranty.

Add-on or modiﬁed parts that are not exempted by the California Air Resource Board

may not be used. The use of any non-exempted add-on or modiﬁed parts will be

grounds for disallowing a warranty claim. Techtronic Industries North America, Inc.,

will not be liable to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a non-

exempted add-on or modiﬁed part.

The California Air Resources Board’s Emission Warranty Parts List speciﬁcally deﬁnes

the emission-related warranted parts. (EPA’s regulations do not include a parts list,

but the EPA considers emission-related warranted parts to include all the parts listed

below.) Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., will provide any documents that

describe its warranty procedures or policies within ﬁve days upon request by the

California Air Resources Board.
