Servicing the Muffler and
Exhaust Ports
The muffler must be removed and serviced after each
100 hours of use. The exhaust ports must be cleaned
and inspected at the same time. Contact an authorized
Toro dealer for this service.
Adjusting Idle Speed
Idle speed is the only available adjustment.
Do not tamper with the carburetor setting to increase
the maximum engine speed.
If adjustment is needed, have it performed by your
authorized Toro service dealer. Carburetor
adjustments are made at the factory and are not
adjustable without disassembling the carburetor.
Storage
For long-term storage of the backpack blower, first
perform all regular maintenance procedures and
needed repairs.
1.
Empty the fuel tank. Disconnect the fuel-return
line from the carburetor. Then gently hold the
tickler lever down while pumping the primer
bulb until fuel stops discharging from the
fuel-return fitting.
2.
Start the engine and allow it to run until it stops.
Pull the starter cord a few times to remove any
excess fuel from the engine.
3.
Remove the spark plug and insert a small
amount of oil into the cylinder. Slowly pull the
starter cord and bring the piston to a position
closest to the spark plug hole. Re-install the
spark plug.
4.
Apply a thin coating of oil to all the metal
surfaces and store the backpack blower in a dry
place.
