NOTE: keep the throttle cable as straight as possible

when connecting the blower tubes.

ATTACH INTERMEDIATE TUBE AND
CONCENRATOR NOZZLE

ADJUST BACK PACK AND HARNESS AND

CONTROL HANDLE

1. Place blower on your

back by slipping arms

through the shoulder

straps as if you were

putting on a jacket (Fig.

8).

2. Once adjustments

have been made, to

the straps for user

comfort, remove the

blower from your back and place on level ground in

an upright position.

3. Adjust backpack harness and control handle.

FUEL

Use regular grade unleaded petrol mixed with 40:1

custom 2-cycle engine oil for best results. Use mixing

ratios in Section

FUEL MIXING TABLE.

MIXING FUEL

Add oil to an approved fuel container followed by the

petrol to allow incoming petrol to mix with oil. Shake

container to ensure thorough mix.

FUEL AND LUBRICATION SYMBOLS

Put the hose clamp(C) on the flex tube(B) before

connecting the flex tube(B) and the fan’s outlet tube(A)

together.

Connect the flex tube (B) to the fan’s outlet tube (A)

(Fig. 1) with a hose clamp (C) (Fig.2) and tighten securely

(Fig. 2).

Connect the intermediate tube (H) and concentrator

nozzle (I) or 56mm nozzle (J) (you can only use one

nozzle at a time). Push the tubes together and turn

clockwise until they lock together (Fig. 7). Use

concentrator nozzle when you need more airflow in tight

places: flower beds, under decks, etc.

1. Place the unit on flat surface during assembly. Insure

screw mechanism of clamp is positioned away from

operator.

2. Put the hose clamp (C) on the flex tube(B) and the

operating tube before connecting them together.

3. Turn the throttle linkage mark (D) so it aligns with the

throttle handle (F) (Fig.3). Insert the operating tube

(E) into the flex tube (B) (Fig. 3) and then tighten

securely with a hose clamp (G) (Fig. 4).

4. Attach throttle linkage clips to both ends of the flex

tube to secure the throttle cable. (Fig. 6)

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

Never use straight petrol in your

unit. This will cause permanent engine damage and

void the manufacturer’s warranty for that product.

Never use a fuel mixture that has been stored for over

90 days.

WARNING:

If 2-cycle lubricant other than

Custom Lubricant is to be used, it must be a premi-

um grade oil for 2-cycle air cooled engines mixed at

a 40:1 ratio. Do not use any 2-cycle oil product with

a recommended mixing ratio of 100:1. If insufficient

lubrication is the cause of engine damage, it voids

the manufacturer’s engine warranty.

WARNING:

Lack of lubrication voids engine

warranty. Petrol and oil must be mixed at 40:1.
