5. Inspect the fuel cap at regular inter-
vals making sure that it stays securely
fastened.
6. Carefully tighten the fuel cap. Change
locations to start the engine (at least
3 meters (10 ft) away from the place of
refuelling).
3 m
(10 ft)
7. Never refuel in closed rooms. Fuel
vapors accumulate at ground level (risk
of explosions).
8. Only transport and store fuel in
approved containers. Make sure stored
fuel is not accessible to children.
9. Do not attempt to refuel a hot or a run-
ning engine.
10. Do not refuel more than the amount

steep terrain.
3. Do not work from ladders or high places.
Otherwise it may result in personal
injury.
4. To reduce the risk of personal injury, do
not direct air blast towards bystanders,
since the high pressure of the air ow
could injure eyes and could blow small
objects at great speed.
5. Never insert any foreign object into the
air intake of the machine or into the noz-
zle of the blower. It will damage the fan
wheel and may cause serious injury to
the operator or bystanders as a result of
the object or broken parts being thrown
out at high speed.

i.e., do not work against the wind.
7. To reduce the risk of stumbling and loss
of control, do not walk backward while
operating the machine.
8. Always stop the engine before cleaning
or servicing the unit or replacing parts.
9. Take a rest to prevent loss of control
caused by fatigue. We recommend to
taking a 10 to 20-minute rest every hour.
10. Keep all parts of your body away from
hot surfaces.
11. Avoid blowing debris towards people,
pets, open windows, or cars when using
unit.
12. To reduce physical inuence from vibra-
tion and/or damage to the ears, operate
the machine at low speed if possible and
limit the time of operation.
13. Operate the machine only at reasonable
hours. Do not operate the blower in the
morning or late at night when people
might be disturbed.

ordinances.
14. It is recommended for using rakes and
brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
15. Before blowing, slightly dampen sur-
faces in dusty conditions or use water
mist sprayer if necessary.
16. Conserve water by using blowers
instead of hoses for many lawn and
garden applications, including areas
such as gutters, screens, patios, grills,
porches, and gardens.
17. Adjust the length of the blower nozzle
so that the stream can work close to the
ground.
18. To reduce sound levels, limit the number
of pieces of equipment used at any one
time.
19. After using blowers and other equip-
ment, CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris in
trash receptacles.
20. Do not accelerate the engine more than
necessary. Blown object may result in
personal injury.
21. The exhaust mufer becomes hot during
the operation. Do not touch hot exhaust
mufer, skin burn may result.
22. Do not operate the machine in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence
of ammable liquids, gases or dust.

Transporting the blower
CAUTION: When transporting the
blower, be sure to stop the engine.
NOTICE: Do not sit or stand on the blower
or put a heavy object on it. It may damage
the machine.
NOTICE: Maintain the blower in an upright
position whenever transporting or storing.
Transporting or storing in a position that is not
upright may cause oil to spill inside the blower
engine. This may result in oil leaks and white
smoke from burning oil, and the air cleaner
may become dirty with oil.
NOTICE: Do not drag the blower when
transporting. Otherwise the blower housing
may be damaged.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Before inspection and main-
tenance, stop the engine and allow it to
cool down. Remove the spark plug and plug
cap. Otherwise the operator may suffer burn or
serious injury due to an accidental start-up.
CAUTION: After inspection and main-
tenance, make sure that all parts are
assembled.
Replacing engine oil
CAUTION: The engine main unit and
engine oil still remain hot just after the
engine is stopped. When replacing engine
oil, make sure that the engine main unit
and engine oil are sufciently cooled down.
Otherwise, there may remain a risk of scald.
Allow sufcient time after stopping engine for
the engine oil to return to the oil tank to ensure
accurate reading of the oil amount.
CAUTION: If the oil lled above the
limit, it may become dirty or may catch re
with white smoke.
NOTICE: Never discard replaced engine oil
in garbage, ground or sewage. Disposal of
oil is regulated by law. In disposal, always fol-
low the relevant laws and regulations. For any
points remaining unknown, contact Authorized
Service Agent.
NOTICE: Oil will deteriorate even when
it is kept unused. Perform inspection and
replacement at regular intervals (replace with
new oil every 6 months).
Deteriorated engine oil shortens the life of the
sliding and rotating parts to a great extent.
Be sure to check the period and quantity of
replacement.
Interval of replacement
After rst 20 operating hours, followed by every
50 operating hours
Recommended oil

(aluminum washer) 4. Oil cap 5. Oil cap gas-
ket 6. Oil port
1. Put the blower down on a level surface.
2. Put a waste oil container under the drainage
hole to catch the oil as it drains out. The con-
tainer should have a capacity of at least 140 ml
(4.7  oz) to catch all of the oil.
3. Loosen the oil drain bolt to let the oil drain
out. Be careful not to allow oil to get on the fuel
tank or other parts.
NOTICE: Be careful not to lose the gasket
(aluminum washer). Put the oil drain bolt in
a location where it does not get dirt.
4. Remove the oil cap. (Removing the oil cap
allows the oil to drain easily.)
NOTICE: Be sure to set the oil cap down in
a location where it does not get dirt.
5. As the level of the oil being drained
decreases, tilt the blower over on to the side with
the drain so that the oil will completely drain out.
6. After the oil has completely drained out,
tighten the oil drain bolt securely. If the bolt is not
tightly fastened, it may result in oil leakage.
NOTICE: Do not forget to put the gasket
(aluminum washer) back on when reattach-
ing the drain plug.
7. Pour approximately 140 ml (4.7  oz) oil into
the oil rell port up to the upper limit of the oil
gauge.
