FUEL AND LUBRICATION

Fuel

- Use regular grade unleaded gasoline mixed with Viima two-stroke oil for best results.

WARNING: Never use straight gasoline in the unit. This will cause permanent engine damage and

voids manufacturer’s warranty for the product. Never use fuel mixture that has been stored for over 90

days.

WARNING: If two-stroke lubricant other than Viima two-stroke oil is to be used, it must be a premium

grade oil for two-cycle air-cooled engines mixed at a 40:1 ratio. Do not use any two-stroke oil product

with a recommended mixing ratio of 100:1. If sufficient lubrication is the cause of engine damage, it

voids manufacturer’s engine warranty.

Mixing fuel

- Add oil to an approved fuel container followed by gasoline to allow the incoming gasoline to mix with oil.

Shake the container to ensure thorough mix.

WARNING: Lack of lubrication voids engine warranty. Gasoline and oil must be mixed at 40:1 ratio.

Fuel and lubrication symbols

Recommended fuels

- Some conventional gasolines are being blended with oxygenates such as alcohol or an ether compound to

meet clean air standards. This engine is designed to operate satisfactorily on any gasoline intended for

automotive use including oxygenated gasolines.

OPERATION

Starting a cold engine

Fill the fuel tank with proper gasoline/oil mixture (chapter “Fuel and lubrication”). Set the unit on the ground so

that it rests on its wheels.

Fig. 3A Fig. 3B Fig. 3C

24

1. Move the ON/OFF-switch to ON-position. (Fig. 4A)

2. Pump the primer bulb (A) 6 times. (Fig. 4B)

3. The unit is designed with a three position choke: full choke , partial choke = start and run .

Move the choke lever to full choke-position . (Fig. 4C)

4. Grip the handle firmly.

5. Pull the starter rope out a short way until resistance is felt (approximately 100 mm). A smooth rapid pull is

required for a strong spark. Pull the starter rope briskly 4 times. (Fig. 4D)

6. Move the choke lever to start-position . Let the engine run for 10 seconds to warm up and then press

the trigger. (Fig. 4E and 4F)

7. Move the choke lever to run-position , the engine will run at racing speed. (Fig. 4G)

8. If engine fails to start, repeat steps 3 through 7.

NOTE: If engine fails to start after repeated attempts, refer to “Troubleshooting” section.

NOTE: Always pull the starter rope straight out. Pulling the starter at an angle will cause the rope to rub

against the eyelet. This friction will cause the rope to fray and wear quickly. Always hold the starter handle

when the rope retracts. Never let the rope snap back from extended position. This could cause the rope to

snag or fray and also damage the starter assembly.

Stopping the engine (Fig. 4H)

Emergency stopping procedure

When it is necessary to stop the blower engine immediately, depress the switch to stop the engine.

Normal stopping method

For normal stopping, release the trigger and allow the engine to return to idle speed. Then depress the switch

to stop the engine.

Starting a warm engine (engine has been stopped for no more than 15-20 minutes ago)

1. Move the choke to run-position with throttle at idle and pull the starter rope briskly.

2. If engine does not start, or starts and then stops after 5 rope pulls, follow procedure in chapter “Starting a

cold engine”.

Blower operation (Fig. 5)

- This blower is designed to easily remove debris from patios, walk-

ways, lawns, bushes and other hard to reach areas where debris

may accumulate.

WARNING: Because of flying debris, always wear approved

shielded safety glasses or face shield when operating the

blower.

- Before using the blower, review safety precautions and all regula-

tions for operation of the unit in this manual. These precautions and

regulations are for your protection.

WARNING: Hold the blower so that hot exhaust does not dam-

age clothing and is not inhaled by the operator.

- Do not operate the blower with other people or animals in the immediate vicinity. Allow a minimum of 9

meters between the operator and other people or animals.

- We recommend that a face mask be worn when operating the blower in dusty areas.

- Stand away from the debris at a distance that will easily allow you to control the direction of blown debris.

Never blow debris in the direction of bystanders.

- To control velocity of air stream, the blower can be operated at any speed between idle and full throttle.

Experience with the unit will help you determine the amount of airflow necessary for each application.

Vacuum operation

WARNING: NEVER OPERATE THE VACUUM WITHOUT THE COLLECTION BAG PROPERLY

ATTACHED AS FLYING DEBRIS COULD CAUSE INJURY TO THE OPERATOR AND

BYSTANDERS. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE COLLECTION BAG ZIPPER IS CLOSED BEFORE

OPERATING THE UNIT.

- Do not vacuum ash from outdoor fireplaces, barbecue pits etc. unless cinders are cool. Do not vacuum

lighted smoking material such as discarded cigars or cigarettes.

- Do not operate the unit near open flame.

WARNING: This unit is designed to vacuum up debris such as leaves, small bits of paper, small twigs,

weeds, grass clippings etc. Do not use this unit for any other purpose.

- Do not attempt to vacuum rocks, broken glass, bottles, tin cans or other such objects. Damage to the im-

peller, unit as well as operator could result.

- If the vacuum tube is level with or above the power unit, rocks or large objects may be drawn into the tube,

damaging the impeller.

Operating the vacuum

1. Follow correct starting procedure as explained in this manual.

2. Allow the engine to return to idle. Put the shoulder harness on so that the strap is over your right shoulder.

The loop at the end of the collection bag is attached to the hook in the vacuum/blower tube.

WARNING: Do not allow the shoulder harness to cover, block or come in contact with the exhaust out-

let during operation. The muffler generates heat and could burn, melt or damage the harness strap.

3. Place your left hand on the front handle and right

hand on the rear handle as shown in figure 6.

4. Swing the unit from side to side to vacuum debris.

WARNING: To avoid clogging the vacuum tube,

DO NOT FORCE OR PLACE THE SUCTION

TUBE INTO A PILE OF DEBRIS.

Unclogging the vacuum tube

1. Turn the engine off. Promptly compress the collection bag while it is still inflated, expelling air out of the

suction tube.

This reverse airflow is usually sufficient to dislodge most obstructions. If the obstruction cannot be cleared by

compressing the collection bag, follow this procedure:

2. Remove and inspect the vacuum tubes.

3. Carefully clean out the nozzle.

4. Reinstall the vacuum tubes.

MAINTENANCE

Air filter
