Cleaning The Exhaust Port, Muf- Fler, And Spark Arrestor - Ryobi RBL26G Original Instructions Manual

WARNING
Do not place blower on top of or near loose
debris or gravel. Debris may be sucked
into blower intake vent resulting in possible
damage to the product and could result in
serious personal injury.
WARNING
Watch out for children, pets, open windows,
or freshly washed cars, and blow debris
safely away.
CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
See page 22.
A wet or dirty air filter causes starting difficulty,
loss of performance, and shorten the life span
of the engine. The air filter should be checked
and cleaned after 5 hours of operation. Inspect
and clean more frequently if used in dusty dirty
conditions.
For best performance, the air filter should be
replaced every 25 hours or yearly.
REPLACING THE SPARK PLUG
See page 24.
The product's engine uses a Champion RCJ6Y
spark plug. Replace with a recommended
spark plug every 25 hours or annually.
CLEANING THE EXHAUST PORT, MUF-
FLER, AND SPARK ARRESTOR
Depending on the type of fuel used, the type
and amount of lubricant used, and/or your
operating conditions, the exhaust port, muffler,
and/or spark arrestor screen may become
blocked with carbon deposits. If you notice a
power loss with your petrol-powered product,
you may need to remove these deposits to
restore performance. We highly recommend
that only qualified service technicians perform
this service.
The muffler must be replaced after 50
hours running or yearly to ensure proper
performance of your product.
WARNING
To avoid a fire hazard, never run the blower
without the spark arrestor in place.
FUEL CAP
WARNING
A leaking fuel cap is a fire hazard and must
be replaced immediately.
The fuel cap contains a sealing gasket and a
check valve to allow air in. A clogged check
valve will cause poor engine performance.
If performance improves when the fuel cap
is loosened, the check valve may be faulty.
Replace fuel cap if required.
When refitting the fuel cap ensure it is not
cross-threaded, otherwise it will leak.
FUEL FILTER
The fuel supplied to the engine is passed
through a filter to remove any contaminants
from entering the engine. Contaminants in the
fuel can cause poor performance and damage
to the engine.
The fuel filter is a non-serviceable item and, if
needed, should be replaced by an authorised
service centre.
