MAINTENANCE
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/vacuum
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 sealing gasket and a check valve
to ventilate built up fuel gasses. A clogged check valve will
cause poor engine performance. If performance improves
when the fuel cap is loosened, the check valve may be
faulty. Replace fuel cap if required.
The fuel supplied to the engine is passed through a filter
to remove any contaminants from entering the engine.
Contaminants in the fuel can cause poor performance and
damage to the engine.
The fuel filter is a non-serviceable item and if needed should
be replaced by a AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE.
SPARK PLUG REPLACEMENT
This engine uses a Champion RCJ-6Y or NGK BPMR7A
spark plug with .025 in. electrode gap. Use an exact
replacement and replace annually.
