SPARK PLUG
Clean spark plug and check electrode distance
periodically (Fig. 16). Use Champion RCJ6Y or of
other brand with the same thermal grade.
FAN CASING
Following prolonged use of the blower a large
amount of dust may be deposited on the fan
casing (behind the cushion). This obstructs
the air flow (reduced volume) and can result in
damage to the fan and/or overheating of the
engine. For this reason, be sure to clean the fan
casing regularly. Clean the slots in the fan casing:
they play an important role in relation to engine
cooling.
CARBURETOR
The carburettor is factory adjusted to standard
settings that comply with emissions regulations.
WARNING:
- Do not change the carburettor settings
by tightening or loosening the regulator
screws; this operation must be performed
by qualified personnel at an Authorized
Service Centre.
- Incorrect adjustment of the carburettor can
cause serious damage to the engine.
- Furthermore, do not tamper with or
remove the red protective caps on the
carburettor regulator screws.
In the case of problems (engine dies when
idling, irregular engine speed or failure to reach
maximum power) seek the assistance of an
Authorized Service Centre.
WARNING: Weather conditions and
altitude may affect carburation.
MUFFLER
WARNING – This muffler incorporates
a catalytic converter, needed in order
to ensure the engine complies with current
emissions standards. Never attempt to modify or
remove the catalytic converter: in doing so, you
will be breaking the law.
WARNING – Mufflers with catalytic
converters become very hot during
operation, and retain heat for a long time
after the engine has been stopped. This is the
case even with the engine idling. Contact can
burn the skin. Always remember the potential
fire risk!
CAUTION – If the muffler is damaged, it
must be replaced. If the muffler frequently
becomes blocked, this could be an indication that
the efficiency of the catalytic converter is limited.
WARNING – Do not operate your machine
if the muffler is damaged, missing or
modified. Operating the machine with an
improperly maintained muffler will increase
the risk of fire and hearing loss.
EXTRA MAINTANANCE ADVISABLE
It is advisable to inspect the machine by a
specialized technician at an authorized service
network at the end of season, if used intensively,
and every two years if with normal use.
ATTENTION: All maintenance operations
not reported in this manual must be carried
out by an authorized Service Center. To ensure
steady and regular blower operation, remember
that parts must only be replaced with ORIGINAL
SPARES.
Any unauthorized changes and/or use of
non-original replacement parts may result in
serious injury or death to the operator or third
parties.
9. TRANSPORTATION
Only transport the blower with the engine
switched off.
WARNING - When transporting the machine
on a vehicle, ensure that it is firmly and securely
fastened using straps or belts. The machine must
be transported in the vertical position with an
empty tank, also ensuring compliance with
applicable transport regulations for such
machines.

10. STORAGE

If the machine is to be stored for long periods:
· Drain the fuel from the tank.
