OPERATING THE BLOWER
See Figures 7 - 8.
WARNING:
Always hold the blower away from your body with the
handle in your right hand, keeping clearance between
your body and the product. The muffler side of the blower
should be away from your body. Any contact with the
housing can result in burns and/or other serious personal
injury.
Start the blower. Refer to Starting and Stopping earlier
in this manual. Hold the blower with the upper handle in
your right hand.
WARNING:
Do not place blower on top of or near loose debris or
gravel. Debris may be sucked into blower intake vent
resulting in possible damage to the unit and could result
in serious personal injury.
To keep from scattering debris, blow around the outer
edges of a debris pile. Never blow directly into the center
of a pile.
Operate power equipment at reasonable hours only - not
early in the morning or late at night when people might
be disturbed. Comply with the times listed in local ordi-
nances.
To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of
equipment used at any one time.
Conserve water by using power blowers instead of hoses
for many lawn and garden applications, including areas
such as gutters, screens, patios, grills, porches, and
gardens.
Operate blower at the lowest possible throttle speed to
do the job.
Check your equipment before operation, especially the
muffler, air intakes, and air filters.
Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces when water
is available.
Watch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly
washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
Hold blower, as shown in Figure 7, so the air stream can
work close to the ground.
After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP!
Dispose of debris properly.
Use the sweeper nozzle for the every-day blowing op-
eration. This nozzle allows for more area to be covered
during the blowing operation.

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.
You can often make adjustments and repairs described here.

wise until cover is secure.
MAINTENANCE
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.
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.
SPARK PLUG REPLACEMENT
This engine uses a Champion RY4C spark plug with .025 in.
electrode gap. Use an exact replacement and replace
annually.
CHANGING ENGINE LUBRICANT
See Figures 12 -13.
For best performance, engine lubricant should be changed
after every 25 hours of operation.
To change the engine lubricant:
Stop the engine. Allow the engine to cool completely
before proceeding.
Remove the screw from the top engine cover and set
aside.
Remove the screws from engine cover. Remove the cover
and set aside.
11 - English
MAINTENANCE
Disconnect the spark plug wire.
Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick.
Tip blower on its side and allow lubricant to drain from
the oil fill hole into an approved container.
NOTE: Drain the lubricant while the engine is still warm
but not hot. Warm lubricant will drain quickly and more
completely.
Return the blower to an upright position and refill with
lubricant following the instructions in the Adding/
Checking Engine Lubricant section previously in this
manual.
Reinstall the bottom engine cover. Replace the screws
and tighten securely.
Replace the screw in the top engine cover and tighten
securely.
NOTE:Used lubricant should be disposed of at an approved
disposal site. See your local retailer for more information.
ADJUSTING CAMSHAFT-TO-ROCKER ARM
CLEARANCE
See Figures 14 - 15.
Inspect the camshaft-to-rocker arm clearance after every
25 hours of operation. This should be done in a clean, dust-
free environment.
NOTE: This procedure requires partial disassembly of the
engine. If you are unsure if you are qualified to perform this
operation, take the unit to an authorized service center.
Stop the engine. Allow the engine to cool completely
before proceeding.
Remove screws from the engine cover. Remove engine
cover and set aside.
Disconnect the spark plug wire.
Using a Torx screwdriver, remove the screw from the
rocker arm cover. Remove the cover and set aside.
Position camshaft by pulling the recoil starter grip just
until the deep hole in the camshaft gear is located at the
6 o’clock position.
Place the feeler gauge under each rocker arm and
measure the gap. The gap should be between .006 in.
(0.15 mm) and .008 in. (0.20 mm) for both rocker arms.
NOTE: Use a standard automotive feeler gauge. The
.006 in. (0.15 mm) feeler gauge should slide between
the rocker arm and valve stem with a slight amount of
resistance but without binding. The 0.008 in. (0.20 mm)
feeler gage should not slide between the rocker arms and
the cam lobes — it should be held tight.
If the valve clearance is not between .006 in. (0.15 mm)
and .008 in. (0.20 mm), the clearance should be adjusted
as follows:
While holding a wrench on the flats of the adjusting
nut with one hand, loosen the retaining nut with a
second wrench. Take care not to loosen the stud.
Rotate the adjusting nut until it touches the feeler
gauge. Once the gap setting is correct, hold the
wrench on the flats of the adjusting nut and retighten
the retaining nut securely.
Adjust the second rocker arm, if necessary.
Replace the rocker arm cover and screw; tighten
securely.
Replace the top engine cover and screw; tighten
securely.
WARNING:
Ensure all engine cover and all engine parts are com-
pletely and properly reassembled before starting engine.
Failure to correctly reassemble engine may result in seri-
ous injury or property damage.
STORING THE PRODUCT
Clean all foreign material from the product. Store idle unit
indoors in a dry, well-ventilated area that is inaccessible
to children. Keep away from corrosive agents such as
garden chemicals and de-icing salts.
Abide by all ISO and local regulations for the safe storage
and handling of gasoline.
When storing 1 month or longer:
Drain all fuel from tank into a container approved for
gasoline. Run engine until it stops.
HIGH ALTITUDE ENGINE OPERATION
Please have an authorized service center adjust this engine
if it is to be run above 2000 feet. Failure to do so may result
in poor engine performance, spark plug fouling, hard start-
ing, and increased emissions. Carburetor adjustment by
an authorized service center will improve performance and
allow that this engine meets EPA (Environmental Protection
Agency) and California ARB (Air Resources Board) emis-
sion standards. An engine adjusted for high altitudes can
not be run at 2000 feet or lower. In doing so, the engine will
overheat and cause serious engine damage. Please have
an authorized service center restore high altitude modified
engines to the original factory specification before operating
below 2000 feet.

WARRANTY
THE FOLLOWING CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD (CARB) STATEMENT ONLY APPLIES TO MODEL NUMBERS
REQUIRED TO MEET THE CARB REQUIREMENTS.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the California Air Resources Board
(CARB), and Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., are pleased to explain the
Emissions Control System Warranty on your 2010 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
three 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 three 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.
(c) You are responsible for presenting your non-road or small off-road engine to an
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 three years from the date the non-road or small
off-road engine is purchased by the initial purchaser.
(c) The warranty on emissions-related parts will be interpreted as follows: Any
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 three
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.
