MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE AIR FILTER SCREEN
See Figure 15 - 16.
For proper performance and long life, keep air filter screen
clean.
Remove the air filter cover by pushing down on the latch
with your thumb while gently pulling on the cover.
Brush the air filter screen lightly to clean.
Replace the air filter cover by inserting the tabs on the
bottom of the cover into the slots on the air filter base;
push the cover up until it latches securely in place.
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
become 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
recommend 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
product. 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:
To avoid a fire hazard, never run the blower without the
spark arrestor in place.
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:
A leaking fuel cap is a fire hazard and must be replaced
immediately.
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.
