Daily Checks on your Leaf Blower



• Clean the external surface of the machine with a cloth.



• Make sure that the throttle lock and the throttle trigger function safely.



• Ensure that the stop switch is working properly.



• Check the housings, and make sure they are free of cracks.



• Make sure that the collection bag is intact and that the zipper is working.



• Make sure that all nuts and screws are tightened properly .



• Give the filter a good clean and replace it if necessary.



Weekly Checks on your Leaf Blower



• Check that the starter device, the starter cord and the tensioning spring are all still in good condition.



• Ensure that the air intake at the starter device is in good condition. Remove any debris or dirt from it, make sure it's not clogged.



• Give the outside of the spark plug a good clean, and unscrew it and check the electrode gap. Re-adjust this gap to (0.020”) 0.5 mm, if required, or change the spark plug.

• Give the outside of the carburetor and the space around it a good clean.



• Do the same for the fan blades on the flywheel and the space around it.



• Check the fuel line and filter, and replace them, if required.



• Check that all the cables and their connections are in good condition.



• Change the spark plug.



• Examine and clean the muffler’s spark arrest screen if required (only mufflers with a

catalytic converter).
