screen clean.

NOTE: The filter should be replaced annually for best
performance.

SPARK ARRESTOR

The silencer is equipped with a spark arrestor screen
inside silencer body. After extended use the screen can
become dirty and may need to have the muffler replaced
by an authorized servicing dealer.
Never run the blower without the spark arrestor in
place. Failure to do so could result in a fire that could
cause serious personal injury.
CLEANING THE EXHAUST PORT AND MUFLER
Depending on the type of fuel used, the type and amount
of oil used, and/or your operating conditions, the exhaust
port and muffler may become blocked with carbon
deposits. If you notice low power from the blower, have
a qualified service technician check the exhaust port and
muffler for carbon deposits. Removing the carbon deposits
should restore performance to the blower.
FUEL CAP
A leaking fuel cap is a fire hazard and must be replaced
immediately. Failure to do so could result in a fire that
could cause serious personal injury.

SPARK PLUG

This engine uses a Champion RCJ4 with 0.63 mm (0.025
in.) electrode gap. Use an exact replacement and replace
annually.
Be careful not to cross-thread the spark plug. Cross-
threading will seriously damage the product.
