29. Assembly as leaf blower

Caution: Always switch off the engine when carrying out assembly and/or maintenance work! Wear protective gloves during assembly to protect yourself from cuts. Mount the two blowpipes into each other and position them on the main device. Make sure that they are screwed on all the way and fix them with screw A. Using the blowing attachments:

30. Assembly as leaf vacuum

• Insert the conical suction pipe 15A through the large opening of the leaf bag 16B and push the tapered side of the pipe through the narrow opening 16A (see illustration on page 14)

• Connect the bent suction pipe 15B to the conical nipple 15A as shown in the figure. Bring the two parts together and turn the bent intake pipe until the hole for the screw matches. Screw the two parts together.

• Twist the bent suction pipe 15, now connected to the leaf collection bag 16, on the main device.

• Now open the lock 11 of the air intake grille 10.

• Now fit the two-part suction pipe 14 into each other and position it on the main device with the air intake grille 10 open.

31. Commissioning - refuelling, 2-stroke engine oil

The device is not delivered filled with fuel mixture. Fill the device as described in this chapter under "Refuelling". The device is operated with a 40:1 mixture of normal petrol (unleaded) and two-stroke engine oil. When handling petrol, increased attention is required. Avoid smoking and naked flames at all costs because of the danger of explosion. Gasoline: Octane number at least 91 RON, lead free

• Do not fill with leaded petrol, diesel or other non-approved fuels.

• Do not use petrol with an octane number lower than 91 RON. This can lead to engine damage due to increased engine temperatures.

• If you work continuously in the higher speed range, use petrol with a higher octane rating.

• For environmental reasons, the use of unleaded petrol is recommended. The use of E10 fuels is not permitted. 2-stroke engine oil Do not use four-stroke or two-stroke oils for water-cooled outboard engines, or ready-mixed fuel from petrol stations. Mixing ratio 40:1

• Ensure that the oil quantity is measured exactly, as a small deviation in the oil quantity has a strong effect on the mixing ratio for small quantities.

• Do not change the mixing ratio, as this will result in increased combustion residues, increased fuel consumption and reduced performance, or damage to the engine. Mix the petrol and oil in a clean, petrol approved and marked container with overfill protection.

1. First fill in half of the petrol to be mixed

2. Then fill in the entire quantity of oil.

3. Shake the mixture.

4. Fill in the rest of the fuel.

Gasoline Two-stroke engine oil (40:1) Gasoline Two-stroke engine oil (40:1) 1 litre

Fuels can only be stored for a limited time as they age. Superimposed fuels and fuel mixtures can cause problems when starting. Therefore, only mix as much fuel as you use in one month. Store fuels in dry and safe conditions in approved and marked containers. Ensure that the fuel tanks are kept out of the reach of children. Refuelling the leaf blower Switch off the engine, let the device cool down! - Wear protective gloves! - Avoid skin and eye contact (wear protective goggles)! - It is essential to observe "Handling of fuel".

1. Only refuel the device outdoors or in sufficiently ventilated rooms.

2. Clean the area around the filling area. Dirt in the tank causes malfunctions.

3. Shake the container with the fuel mixture again before refuelling.

1. Move ON / OFF switch 2 to position 1.

2. Leave the choke lever 4A on

3. Pull the starting cable on the starting handle until the engine starts.

1. Release throttle 3.

Perform the following checks regularly before commissioning and during operation:

• Always hold the device with both hands on the front and rear handle.

• Is the device complete and correctly installed?

• Make sure that all nuts and bolts are tightened.

• Is the device in good and safe condition?

• Are all safety functions in order?

• Is the gas tank full?

• Are the engine and muffler free of deposits, leaves or lubricants?

• Is the handle clean and dry (no oil, grease or resin)?

• Is the workplace free of obstacles that you could trip over?

• Are you wearing the necessary protective device?

• Have you read and understood the manual?

• Make sure that the gear device has sufficient lubrication (see "Maintenance").

• IMPORTANT: To avoid burning the leaf bag with the exhaust pipe, make sure to turn the whole body when turning in the suction position and not only with your hands. Twisting the hip will cause the heat of the exhaust to point towards the leaf bag, creating the risk of a burn hole.

• Ensure that there are no foreign objects such as stones in the working area which could be blown away or sucked up. This can cause serious injury to persons due to flying parts or damage to the device when vacuuming.Manual_FX-LBS126P_Int24_Rev13

34. Maintenance and care

Before any maintenance and cleaning work

• Switch off the engine

• Wait until the engine has come to a standstill
