Maintenance and Care

3. Maintenance and Care

3.1 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 original 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.
Do not operate the blower with a broken or
removed muffler. This can lead to fires and cause
hearing damage. Do not touch hot muffler.
For transport in a vehicle, ensure the
mistblower is well secured to avoid fuel
spillage.
Completely empty the fuel tank before extended
storage or shipment.

3.2 Fuel-Information

Petrol and Oil
The engine of your motorized air blower 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.

Running Instructions:
For the first 5 tank fillings, also when using special
2-cycle oils, use a mixing ration of 25:1 (4%)!
Smoking or open flame is prohibited.
Allow engine to cool before re-fueling.
Fuel may contain solvent-like substances. Avoid
skin and eye contact with mineral products. Wear
gloves while refueling. Frequently change and
clean protective clothing. Do not inhale fuel
vapors.
Do not spill fuel or oil. In case of spillage,
immediately wipe off mistblower. Do not allow
fuel mix to contact clothing. If fuel mix is spilled
on clothing, change clothing immediately
Ensure fuel or oil do not contaminate soil
(environmental protection). Always use a suitable
protective soil cover.
Do not re-fuel in unventilated rooms. Fuel vapors
collect at ground level (danger of explosion).
Transport and store fuel and oil only in approved
and clearly marked containers. Children should
have no access to fuel or oil.
Take care not to inhale exhaust fumes. Do not
operate the blower in closed areas.
The handling of fuel requires caution and
consideration. It is imperative that all safety
instructions are observed!
Only refuel when the engine has been stopped!
Clean the area around filler inlet before
refueling.
Remove tank lid and fill fuel mix up to the lower
edge of the filler neck. Do not overfill. If possible,
always use a fuel funnel with filter.
Replace and secure fuel tank lid.
