OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING THE UNIT AS A BLOWER
WARNING:
After starting the unit, always stand on the left
side of the unit to operate it as shown in figure 14 to keep
from blocking the air intake.
Use the blower for trees, shrubs, flower beds and hard-to-clean areas.
Also use the unit around buildings, walls, overhangs, fences and screens,
and for other normal cleaning procedures. Conserve water by using power
blowers instead of hoses for many lawn and garden applications,
including areas such as gutters, screens, patios, grills, porches and gardens.
Hold the blower with the right hand. Do not stand on the right side of the blower when operating the
unit (Fig. 14). If you do, you will be blocking the air intake and this will affect the unit's performance.
Instead, be sure to stand on the left side of the unit to maximize the unit's efficiency (Fig. 14).
Sweep from side to side with the nozzle several inches above the ground or floor. Slowly advance the
unit, keeping the accumulated pile of debris in front of you.
Most dry blowing operations are better suited to low speeds, rather than high. High speed blowing is a
better way to move heavier items like large debris or gravel.
OPERATING THE UNIT AS A VACUUM
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, never unzip
the vacuum bag without stopping the unit first.
WARNING:
As a vacuum, the unit is designed to pick up
dry material such as leaves, grass, small twigs and bits of
paper. To avoid serious personal injury, do not attempt to
vacuum wet debris and/or standing water as this may result in
damage to the blower/ vacuum. To avoid severe damage to the
impeller, do not vacuum metal, broken glass or similar items.
WARNING:
Avoid situations that could catch the vacuum
bag on fire. Do not operate near an open flame. Do not
vacuum warm ash from fireplaces, barbecue pits, brush piles,
etc. Do not vacuum discarded cigars or cigarettes unless the
cinders are completely cool.
Use the unit for vacuuming up light debris like leaves and paper.
Be sure the vacuum bag is zipped closed before operating the unit.
Place the shoulder harness over your head and onto your shoulder. Hold the vacuum with both on
hands on the handle (Fig. 15), tilting the suction tube slightly, and use a sweeping action to collect light
debris (Fig. 16). The debris will flow into the vacuum bag. Things such as small leaves and small twigs
will be mulched as they pass through the fan housing, allowing the vacuum bag to hold more debris.
Emptying the Vacuum Bag
When the bag is full, suction will noticeably decrease. Turn off the unit and allow the impeller to stop
before you unzip the bag.
1. While wearing eye protection and a dust mask, unzip the vacuum bag and empty the contents into a
garbage bag or container.
2. Turn the bag inside out after initial emptying and vigorously shake out dust and debris.
3. Zip close and reinstall the vacuum bag.
NOTE: Empty the bag after each use to avoid deterioration and obstructing air flow, which will reduce
the performance of the vacuum.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
To prevent serious injury, never perform maintenance or repairs with unit
running. Always service and repair a cool unit. Disconnect the spark plug wire to ensure
that the unit cannot start.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Perform these required maintenance procedures at the frequency stated in the table. These procedures
should also be a part of any seasonal tune-up.
NOTE: Some maintenance procedures may require special tools or skills. If you are unsure about these
procedures, take your unit to a Cub Cadet or other qualified service dealer.
NOTE: Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices and system may be
performed by a Cub Cadet or other qualified service dealer.
NOTE: Please read the California/EPA statement that came with the unit for a complete listing of terms
and coverage for the emissions control devices, such as the spark arrestor, muffler, carburetor, etc.

WARNING:
Wear gloves to prevent injury when handling unit.
Cleaning the Air Filter
Failure to maintain your air filter properly can result in poor performance or
can cause permanent damage to your engine.
1. To open the air filter cover, push the locking tab on the right side of the
cover inward and pull the air filter cover slightly out and to the left (Fig. 17).
2. Remove the air filter (Fig. 18).
3. Wash the filter in detergent and water. Rinse the filter thoroughly and
allow it to dry.
4. Apply enough clean SAE 30 motor oil to lightly coat the filter.
5. Squeeze the filter to spread and remove excess oil.
6. Replace the filter (Fig. 18).
NOTE: If the unit is operated without the air filter, you will VOID the warranty.
7. To reinstall the air filter cover, position the hooks on the left side of the
air filter cover into the slots at the left side of the back plate (Fig. 18).
8. Swing the cover to the right and press closed so the air filter cover tab
snaps into the slot on the back plate (Fig. 19).
IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT
WARNING:
This unit will need to be running during idle
speed adjustment. Wear protective clothing and observe all
safety instructions to prevent serious personal injury.
Also, DO NOT set unit on any surface except a clean, hard
area while starting or performing any adjustments. Debris,
such as gravel, sand, dust, grass, etc., could be thrown by
the blower tube and damage property or cause serious injury
to bystanders or operator.
The idle speed of the engine is adjustable. An idle adjustment screw is
between the air filter cover and the engine starter housing (Fig. 20).
NOTE: Careless adjustments can seriously damage your unit. An authorized service dealer should make
carburetor adjustments.
If, after checking the fuel and cleaning the air filter, the engine still will not idle, adjust the idle speed
screw as follows:
1. Start the engine and let it run at a high idle for a minute to warm up. Refer to Starting/Stopping
Instructions.
2. Release the throttle trigger and let the engine idle. If the engine stops, insert a small Phillips in
between the air filter cover and the engine cover (Fig. 20). Turn the idle speed screw in, clockwise,
1/8 of a turn at a time (as needed) until the engine idles smoothly.

(0.635 mm).
1. Stop the engine and allow it to cool.
2. Grasp the plug boot firmly and pull the cap from the spark plug.
3. Clean dirt from around the spark plug. Remove the spark plug from the cylinder head by turning a
5/8 in. socket counterclockwise.
4. Replace cracked, fouled or dirty spark plug. Set the spark gap at 0.025 in. (0.635 mm) using a feeler
gauge (Fig. 21).
5. Install a correctly-gapped spark plug in the cylinder head. Turn the 5/8 in. socket clockwise until snug.
If using a torque wrench, torque to:
110-120 in.•lb. (12.3-13.5 N•m) Do not over tighten.
6. Reinstall the spark plug boot.
