There is very little to go wrong with your Atom Airlift Blower.
Follow all instructions including pages 18 and 19. These include:
1. Use good quality 2-Stroke 50/1 oil as 50:1 fuel mix in 2-Stroke
engines ie. 20ml oil to 1 litre petrol or 80ml oil to 4 litres petrol.
2. SAE 10-30W synthetic oil in 4-Stroke engines.
3. Clean and oil air filter regularly depending on use.
4. If storing unit for 3 months or more, drain fuel from tank, restart motor
to use residual fuel in carburettor.
5. Follow regular maintenance chart. Page 18.
6. Starting and idling are covered on Page 19. If well used Honda
engine is harder to start, check o-ring on manifold for o-ring
replacement.
7. Starting difficulties could occur when the idle speed
is not fast. After much use idle speed can drop back. Keep
fast idle speed for easy starting.
8. If Atom engine powered blower does not achieve full RPM, check that
choke is full off and that carby is full on when throttle trigger is pulled
fully up. If necessary adjust throttle cable for full throttle. Otherwise
adjust carby jet.
9. If Honda engine powered blower does not achieve full power, check
that choke is fully open and that carby is full on when throttle trigger is
pulled fully up. Otherwise adjust throttle cable.
