Blower Mode; Cleaning, Maintenance, Storage, Starting Again After Storage, Transport And Ordering Of Spare Parts - FLORABEST FBLB 33 A1 Manual De Instrucciones Original

7.4 Blower mode

Your leaf blower is designed for blow-cleaning
terraces, walkways, lawns, shrubs and many
hard-to-reach areas where dirt and debris can
collect.
For your own personal safety, please read again
all the safety information and directions for use in
these operating instructions before you operate
the equipment.
Do not use the equipment if other people or
animals are in the immediate vicinity. Keep a
minimum distance of 10m from other persons or
animals.
When working in a very dusty environment, wear
a dust mask or breathing mask.
For better control of the blowing direction, always
keep a suitable distance from the material you
want to blow away. Never blow in the direction of
persons in the immediate vicinity.
Before you use the equipment, use a rake or
broom to dislodge and remove foreign bodies
from the area you want to clean. This will help to
prevent injuries.
Control the air velocity by adjusting the throttle le-
ver between the idle and full throttle settings. Test
different throttle lever settings in order to fi nd the
optimum air velocity for the particular task.
Important: Always wear safety goggles or a
face mask for protection against objects which are
whirled up or catapulted away.
Important: Always carry the equipment so that
the hot exhaust gases do not come into contact
with your clothes and damage them and so that
the fumes are not inhaled.
To operate the equipment:
Follow the instructions for starting the engine as
described in section 7.1 and 7.2.
Let the engine run in idle mode and put on the
equipment as shown in Fig. 5. Make sure that
nothing covers the exhaust pipe as it becomes hot.
Hold the handle tightly in your right hand (Fig. 6)
and swing the blower tube back and forth so that
the required area is cleared of dirt and debris.
Integrated in the handle (Fig. 4a/Item 1) are the
throttle lever (Fig. 4a/Item 2) and the On/Off
switch (Fig. 4a/Item 4).

The throttle lever catch (Fig. 4a/Item 3) can be
used to lock the engine in the full throttle setting
without having to keep pressing the throttle lever.
Important: Before you switch off the equipment,
reset the throttle lever catch to the standard throttle
setting.

storage, starting again
after storage, transport and
ordering of spare parts
Always switch off the equipment and pull out the
spark plug boot before carrying out any mainte-
nance work.
8.1 Cleaning
•
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it down with compressed air at
low pressure.
•
We recommend that you clean the equipment
immediately after you use it.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a damp
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning
agents or solvents; these may be aggressive
to the plastic parts in the equipment. Ensure
that no water can get into the interior of the
equipment.
8.2 Maintenance
Servicing the air fi lter (Fig. 7a-7b)
Soiled air fi lters reduce the engine output by
supplying too little air to the carburetor. Regular
checks are therefore essential. The air fi lter should
be checked after every 25 hours of use and clea-
ned if necessary. If the air contains a lot of dust,
the air fi lter should be checked more frequently.
1. Remove the air fi lter cover (Fig. 7a).
2. Remove the fi lter element (Fig. 7b).
3. Clean the fi lter element by tapping it or
blowing it.
4. Assemble in reverse order.
Important: Never clean the air fi lter with petrol
or infl ammable solvents.
