HOW TO USE YOUR BACKPACK AIR
BLOWER
GASOUNE AND OIL MIXTURE
Important! Do not use automotiveor boatoils in
your air blower. These oilsdo nothave proper
additivesfor 2-cycle, air-cooled enginesand can
cause engine damage.
The 2.cycle engine onthis productrequiresa fuel
mixtureof regular unleaded gasolineand a highquality
2-cycle air-cooled engine oil for lubricationof the
bearings and other movingpads. The correctfuel:oil
mixture is 40-1 (see Fuel MixtureChad). Too littleoil
or the incorrectoil type will cause poorperformance
and may cause the engine to overheatand seize.
Gasoline and oil must be premixedina clean
approved fuel container.Alwaysuse fresh regular
unleaded gasoline. This engine is certifiedto operate
on unleaded 'gasoline.

FUELMIXTURECHART I
GASOLINE OIL
I Gallon 3+2Dunces
2.5 Gallons 8.0 Dunces
IMPORTANTI Alcoholblended fuelscalled gasohol
(usingethanolor methanol)can attract moisture,
which leads to oil/gas separation andformationof
acidsduringstorage. Acidicgas can damage the fuel
systemof an engine while in storage.To avoidengine
problems,the fuel systemshould be emptied before
storage of 30 days or longer.Drainthe gas tank, then
run the fuel out of the carburetor andfuel lines by
startingthe engine and lettingit run untilit stops.Usa
fresh fuel next season. See storageinstructionsfor
additionalinfot'mation.Never use engineor carburetor
cleaner produc_sin the fuel tank or permanentdamage
may occur.
2-CYCLE OIL
Craftsman 2-cycle, air-cooledengine oil is specially
blended withfuel stabilizers. If you do not usethis
Sears oil,you can add a fuel stabilizer,suchas
Craftsman No. 33500, to your fuel mix.
FUEL STABILIZER
Afuel stabilizeris an acceptable altamativein
minimizingthe formation of fuel gumdepositsduring
storage. Add stabilizerto gasoline mixtureinfuel
storage container and mix well. Alwaysfollow the fuel
mix ratiofound on the stabilizercontainer.Run engine
at least 5 minutes after adding stabilizerto allow the
stabilizerto reach the carburetor.You donot have to
drain the fuel tank for storage if youare usingfuel
stabilizer.
USING THE MULTI-FUNCTION HANDLE
_Themulti-functionhandle has an on-off switch (Fig. 5,
A), a throttlelever (Fig. 5, B), and a speed lever (Fig.
5, C). It can be rotated to assure the operator's
•comfort.Once started, the speed lever can be set at a
desired RPM. This frees the operator from holdingthe
throttlelever. If notset on maximumRPM and a
•greater RPM is required, simplysqueeze the throttle
lever. To returnto the lower RPM, release the throttle
lever. If the operator plans on blowingat the maximum
RPM for a long period of time, the speed lever is
movedto the =max" setting. If the operator is only
blowingin shortbursts leave the speed lever at the
"min" settingand use the throttlelever to controlthe
speed.
FIGURE 5
STARTING COLD
1. Moveon-off switchto the on positionidentified
withan "1"(Fig. 5).
2. Set speed lever halfway between the =rain" '_
and"max"'_ positions(Fig. 5).
3. Move choke lever (Fig. 6, A) to the =START"
position.
4. Press primer bulb(Fig. 6, B) untilit is halffull and
resistanceis felt.
5. Place left hand on top of the blower housingnear
carryinghandle. Pull the starter rope handle'with
righthand slowly untilresistance is felt. Then pull
forcefullyand repeatedly until engine attemptsto
start; usually2-3 pulls, no more than 5 pulls.
6. When engine attempts to start, immediately move
choke lever t0 "RUN" posifion.Continue to pull
starterrope handle untilengine starts.

and clean or replace the air filter. A new spark
plug and aclean air filter assure properair-fuel
mixtureand help your engine run batter and last
longer.
CHECK FASTENERS

attachedto the fuel line. To clean, scrub fuel filter
surfacewith a small brush, Replace if deteriorated.
CLEAN ENGINE CYLINDER COOLING FINS
For best performance,keep dirt from accumulating
around the enginecoolingfins. Clogged coolingfins
cause the engineto run hotter and shortenengine life.
Coolingfinsmay be cleaned usingatoothbrushor stiff
bristle brush.
CLEAN SPARK ARRESTOR SCREEN (if installed)
Afterevery 25 hoursof use the spark arrestor screen
must be cleaned. Replace screen if detadorating(part
no. 2048391).

mixtureis pre-set at the factory and can not be
adjustedwithoutpropertools. Any adjustmentmust be
performedby _service center.
The idle speed'can be adjusted.The idle speed set
screw is located on the top of the unit and to the left of
the spark plug. It is indicated by the letter=r". To
adjustthe idle speed, turn clockwiseto increase and
counterclockwiseto decrease idle speed. Idle speed is
2100 + 100 RPM.
Prepare your backpack air blowerfor storage at the
end of the season or if the unitwill notbe used for 30
days or more.
BEFORE STORING
1. Use soap and water to wipe down unit.
2. Be sure that all nuts, bolts,screws,and fasteners
are securelyfastened. Inspectfor damaged or
worn parts. Replace if necessary.
BLOWER TUBES
The straightblowertubes can be removed to ease
storage. Use care notto "kink" the throttlecable.
ENGINE
It is importantto prevent gum depositsfromformingin
essentialfuel system partssuch as the carburetor,fuel
filter, fuel hose, or tank duringstorage.Also, alcohol
blendedfuels, such as gasohol,ethanolor methanol,
can attractmoisture,which leads to separationand
formation of acids duringstorage.Acidicgas can
damage the fuel system of an engine while instorage.
Do notstore gasolinefrom one season to the next.
Two-cycle mix ages quicklyand can cause engine
damage. Replace your gasolinecontainerif it starts to
rust. Rustor dirt in your gasolinewill cause engine
problems.
To avoid engine problems,the fuel systemshouldbe
emptied before storage of 30 days or more.
Followthese instructions:
1. Drainthe fuel tank.
2. Start engine and let it run untilthe fuel linesand
carburetorare empty. (The engine willstop.)
3. Use fresh gas next season.
4. If you use a fuel stabilizer, thegasolinecan be left
inthe tank. CAUTION: Never storeair blower
insidea buildingwithfuel in the tank{ Fumescan
concentrateand possibly reach a source of
ignition. Allow engineto cool before storage.
5. Remove spark plug.
6, Pour a few drops of oil intothe cylinder.
7. Pull the starter handleslowlyto distributethe oil.
8. Replace spark plug,
STORAGE TIPS
If possible,storeyour unit indoorsand cover itto give
