CAUTION

This blower has been designed and adjusted to be used with blowing pipes attached. It must never be operated without the straight pipe.

NOTE

When you hear or feel strange sound or vibration, stop engine immediately and check if anything blocks fans or pipes, If so, remove it and check for damage.
○ Blowing Pipe Selection
- Straight Blowing Pipe
Allows operation at maximum blow capacity.
Suitable for operation in widespread areas, engine revolution is kept at a minimum, resulting in improved fuel consumption when compared with the conic/fan-shaped blowing pipe.
The straight blowing pipe is recommended for normal use.
- Conic/Fan-Shaped Blowing Pipe
Allows operation at maximum blow speed.
Ideal for blowing wet leaves stuck to the ground or releasing a powerful air discharge in limited spaces.

Stopping (Fig. 12)

Decrease engine speed and run at an idle for a few minutes, then turn off ignition switch (H) and keep the pressed until the engine comes to a complete stop.

MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE, REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF THE EMISSION CONTROL DEVICES AND SYSTEMS MAY BE PERFORMED BY ANY NON-ROAD ENGINE REPAIR ESTABLISHMENT OR INDIVIDUAL.

Carburetor adjustment (Fig. 13)

The carburetor is a precision part that mixes air and fuel, and it is designed to ensure high performance from the engine. Before the tool is shipped from the factory, its carburetor is adjusted during a test run. Only make adjustments if it is necessary because of environmental conditions (the climate or atmospheric pressure), the type of fuel, the type of two-cycle oil, etc.

WARNING

Because the carburetor is manufactured with a high degree of precision, do not disassemble it.
☐ For this product, the only setting of the carburetor that can be adjusted is the idle speed (T).

T = Idle speed adjustment screw.

Idle speed adjustment (T)

Check that the air filter is clean. If adjustment is required, turn IDLE speed Adjustment Screw (T) close (clockwise) to increase engine speed, open (counterclockwise) to decrease engine speed. Standard Idle rpm is 2800-3200 rpm.

CAUTION

The above adjusting procedure must be followed when adjustment is MADE or DAMAGE to engine will occur because of the incorrect condition.

NOTE

Some models sold areas with strict exhaust emission regulation do not have high and low speed carburetor adjustments. Such adjustments may allow the engine to be operated outside of their emission compliance limits. For these models, the only carburetor adjustment is idle speed.

RECOMMENDATION

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT NEEDS THE SKILL OF EXPERIENCED OR WELL TRAINED PEOPLE, OR IS RECOMMENDED TO TAKE THE UNIT TO HiKOKI Authorized Service Centers.

Air fi Iter (Fig. 14)

The air filter (11) must be cleaned from dust and dirt in order to avoid:

○ Carburetor malfunctions.

○ Starting problems.

○ Engine power reduction.

○ Unnecessary wear on the engine parts.

○ Abnormal fuel consumption.

Clean the air fi lter daily or more often if working in exceptionally dusty areas.

Cleaning the air fi Iter (Fig. 14)

Open the air filter cover (12) and remove the air filter (11). Clean it.

Check that the fi Iter is dry before reassembly.

An air filter that has been used for some time cannot be cleaned completely. Therefore, it must regularly be replaced with a new one. A damaged filter must always be replaced.

Fuel fi Iter (Fig. 15)

Remove the fuel filter (13) from the fuel tank, and replace it if it is dirty.

NOTE

A blocked fuel filter (13) can prevent the supply of fuel and cause a rotation malfunction of the engine.

Spark plug (Fig. 16)

When removing the spark plug, twist and remove the plug cap covering the spark plug as shown in the illustration. (Fig. 17)

The spark plug condition is influenced by:

○ An incorrect carburetor setting.

○ Wrong fuel mixture (too much oil in the gasoline)

○ A dirty air filter.

○ Hard running conditions (such as cold weather).

These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes, which may result in malfunction and starting difficulties. If the engine is low on power, difficult to start or runs poorly at idling speed, always check the spark plug first.

If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and check the electrode gap. Re-adjust if necessary. The correct gap is 0.6 mm. The spark plug should be replaced after about 100 operation hours or earlier if the electrodes are badly eroded.

NOTE

In some areas, local law requires using a resistor spark plug to suppress ignition signals. If this machine was originally equipped with resistor spark plug, use same type of spark plug for replacement.

For long-term storage

Drain all fuel from the fuel tank. Start and let engine run until it stops. Repair any damage which has resulted from use. Clean the unit with a clean rag, or the use of high pressure air hose. Put a few drops of two-cycle engine oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole, and spin the engine over several times to distribute oil.

Cover the unit and store it in a dry area.
