MAINTENANCE
FUEL CAP
WARNING
A leaking fuel cap is a fire hazard and must be
replaced immediately. Failure to do so could result
in a fire that could cause serious personal injury.
SPARK PLUG
This engine uses a Champion RCJ-6Y and Torch L7RTC
with 0.63 mm (0.025 in.) electrode gap. Use an exact
replacement and replace annually.
WARNING
Be careful not to cross-thread the spark plug.
Cross-threading will seriously damage the
product.
STORAGE (1 MONTH OR LONGER)
■ Drain all fuel from the tank into a container approved
for gasoline. Run engine until it stops.
■ Clean all foreign material from the blower. Store it in
a well-ventilated place that is inaccessible to children.
Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden
chemicals and de-icing salts.
■ Abide by all Federal and local regulations for the safe
storage and handling of petrol. Excess fuel should be
used up in other 2-stroke engine powered equipment.
