General Maintenance Hints

After a running in period of approx. 5 hours,
all accessible screws and nuts (except for
carburetor mixture adjustment needles) have
to be checked and re-tightened if required.
Any service jobs, other than those described in
this manual, should only be carried out by an
authorized service center.
• Any cleaning, maintenance or repair jobs
should only be performed when the engine
is stopped and with removed spark plug
cap. The exception, of course, is carburetor
tuning.
Maintenance Guide Lines
• Any service jobs, other than those described
in this manual, should only be carried out
by an authorized service center. Only origi-
nal parts may be used for any maintenance
and service work.
• Never modify your motorized mistblower –
your personal safety is at risk.
• Never service or store the machine near an
open flame.
• Regularly check the fuel tank lid for sealing
and tank ventilation. Only use
recommended spark plugs. Check ignition
cable for any damage.
• Never operate a motorized mistblower with
a damaged muffler or without muffler (fire
risk and risk of damage to hearing). Do not
touch hot muffler.

Storage Hints

If the unit is to be laid up or kept idle for any
length of time, proceed as follows:
a) Rinse and clean thoroughly. Never use
formula container of your mist blower for
storing chemicals.
b) Shut off fuel cock and keep engine running
until lines and carburetor are empty.
Otherwise gasiline evaporates, and the
remaining lubricant would clog the
carburetor ducts.
c) Remove spark plug and squirt an ounce or
two of corrosion inhibitor (LPS, WD-40 etc.)
or plain engine oil into the cylinder. Crank
engine several times to spread the agent,
then reinsert spark plug.
d) Please store your machine away from
sunlight, order to protect of the materials
against influence of ultraviolet radiations.
e) Before putting the unit back into service,
remove and clean spark plug; crank engine
a few times with plug removed.
For transport in a vehicle, ensure
the mistblower is well secured to
avoid fuel spillage.
Completely empty the fuel tank before exten-
ded storage or shipment.
Fuel
Petrol and Oil
The engine of your motorized mistblower is a
high performance 2-cycle engine and has to
be operated with a fuel/oil mix or with a
special, pre-mixed fuel for 2-cycle engines
available from specialized dealers. Important:
For the fuel mixture, use lead-free regular
(standard) petrol, lead-free Euro-petrol or
lead-free Super (premium) petrol. The
minimum octane rating is 92 ROZ.
Mixing Ratio: We recommend a mixing ratio
of 50 parts fuel to 1 part of oil (50:1 – 2%)
with the use of special 2-cycle oil "Castrol
Super TT".
When using other 2-cycle oils we recommend
a mixture ratio of 25:1 (4%). Note: Never
store fuel mixture for longer than 3-4 weeks.
