number of 89 RON (USA/Canada: 87AL)
• If you use a gasoline of a lower octane value than
specified, there is a danger that the engine temperature
may rise and an engine problem such as piston seizing
may consequently occur.
• Unleaded gasoline is recommended to reduce the
contamination of the air for the sake of your health and
the environment.
NOTE
• Poor quality gasolines or oils may damage sealing rings,
fuel lines or fuel tank of the engine.
For details of quality assurance, read the description in the
Warranty section carefully. Moreover, normal wear and
change in product with no functional influence are not
covered by the warranty. Also, note that if the usage in the
instruction manual is not observed for the mixed gasoline,
etc. as described herein, it may not be covered by the
warranty.
■ HOW TO MIX FUEL
IMPORTANT
Pay attention to agitation.
1. Measure out the quantities of gasoline and oil to be mixed.
2. Put some of the gasoline into a clean, approved fuel
container.
3. Pour in all of the oil and agitate well.
4. Pour in the rest of gasoline and agitate again for at least one
minute. As some oils may be difficult to agitate depending on
oil ingredients, sufficient agitation is necessary for the engine
to last long. Note that, if the agitation is insufficient, there is
an increased danger of early piston seizing due to an
abnormally lean mixture.
5. Indicate the contents on outside of container for easy
identification to avoid mixing with raw gasoline or other
containers.

WARNING
Make sure that the engine has stopped and is cool before performing any service
to the blower. Contact with rotating blower fan or hot muffler may result in a
personal injury.
■ AIR CLEANER
• Check the air cleaner before use.
A clogged air filter may increase fuel consumption while cutting down the engine
power.
• Never operate the blower without an air filter or with a deformed or broken filter
element because unfiltered dusty air will quickly ruin the engine.
CLEANING AIR FILTER:
1. Unscrew the 2 knobs and remove the air cleaner cover.
2. Wash the filter element with neutral detergent and warm water and then dry
completely. (Wash the filter once a week)
F13
3. Moisten the filter element with a small amount of 2 cycle oil.
NOTE
• Do not apply 4 cycle motor oil as they may damage element.
• Do not use mixture gasoline.This type of gasoline does not contain much of
oil, so that the element becomes dry after a few hours.
4. Reinstall the element into the packing,set the packing into the air cleaner body.
Never forget to attach the screen properly. If the screen is not attached, the cleaner
will not seal properly and the dusts come into the cylinder.
5. Reinstall the air cleaner cover and screw the 2 knobs.
