5. Fill the engine with oil. The oil should be up to but  
not over the “Full” mark on the dipstick. Above 32°  
F. use SAE 30 oil. Below 32° F. use SAE 5W20 or  
SAE 5W30.  
6. Fill the gas tank. Use fresh, clean, regular,  
unleaded gasoline. Leave 1/4 inch at the top of the  
tank for expansion.  
PREPARATION  
1. Open the packing. Make certain the engine’s  
spark plug wire is disconnected.  
2. Assemble the upper and lower handles to the  
engine plate and the brace to the engine or fan  
housing as shown i the parts list.  
3. Check and tighten all nuts and bolts as necessary.  
4. Check the air pressure in the tires. It should be 14-  
18 psi. CAUTION: Do not overinflate.  
5. Once the engine starts, close the choke control  
and when the engine has warmed up, adjust the  
throttle to produce the amount of sweeping power  
required.  
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
Prior to Each Day’s Use:  
1. Disconect the engine’s spark plug wire.  
2. Clean the cooling air intake screen and cooling  
fins.  
3. Clean the air filter paper element by gently tapping  
o the flat side. Do not wash or use pressurized air.  
4. Position the blower o a level surface and check  
the engine oil level.  
5. Fill the gas tank.  
6. Move to the point where you want to begin  
sweeping. Move the front door handle at the outlet  
of the fan housing to point to the side if you want  
to blow forward. The sweeping action is most  
effective if, as you move forward, you keep the  
front of the machine down and close to the work  
surface to blow out holes and crevices.  
7. To shut off the machine, move the engine throttle  
control to the “OFF” or “SLOW” position, shut off  
the engine switch and after the engine has  
stopped, disconnect the engine’s spark plug wire  
and shut the fuel shutoff valve.  
6. Check and tighten all nuts and bolts as necessary.  
To Start the Blower:  
1. Connect the engine’s spark plug wire.  
2. Open the fuel shutoff valve.  
3. Move the engine switch to “ON”. Move the choke  
control on the engine to “CHOKE”. Move the  
throttle control to halfway between “SLOW” and  
“FAST”.  
8. After use, thoroughly clean the machine especially  
the engine’s air intake screen and cooling fins.  
4. Grasp the starter grip and pull slowly until the  
starter engages and then pull the cord rapidly to  
overcome compression, prevent kickback and  
start the engine. Allow the cord to recoil slowly.  
Repeat if necessary.  
Every 50 Hours:  
Service the fuel filter.
