OPERATING PROCEDURES
Fuel (Fig. 3)
WARNING
○ The unit/machine is equipped with a two-stroke engine. Always
run the engine on fuel, which is mixed with oil.
Provide good ventilation, when fueling or handling fuel.
○ Fuel contains highly fl ammable and it is possible to get the
serious personal injury when inhaling or spilling on your body.
Always pay attention when handling fuel. Always have good
ventilation when handling fuel inside building.
Fuel
○ Always use branded 89 octane unleaded gasoline.
○ Use genuine two-cycle oil or use a mix between 25:1 to 50:1,
please consult the oil bottle for the ratio or Hitachi dealer.
○ If genuine oil is not available, use an anti-oxidant added quality
oil expressly labeled for air-cooled 2-cycle engine use (JASO
FC GRADE OIL or ISO EGC GRADE). Do not use BIA or TCW
(2-stroke water-cooling type) mixed oil.
○ Never use for four-stroke engine oil or waste oil.
○ Always mix fuel and oil in a separate clean container.
Always start by fi ling half the amount of fuel, which is to be used.
Then add the whole amount of oil. Mix (shake) the fuel mixture. Add
the remaining amount of fuel.
Mix (shake) the fuel-mix thoroughly before fi lling the fuel tank.
Fueling
WARNING
○ Always shut off the engine and let it cool for a few minutes
before refueling.
○ Slowly open the fuel tank, when fi lling up with fuel, so that
possible over-pressure disappears.
○ Tighten the fuel cap carefully, after fueling.
○ Always move the unit at least 3 m from the fueling area before
starting.
○ Do not smoke and/or allow fl ames or sparks near fuel when
handling or fi lling fuel.
○ Always wash any spilled fuel from clothing immediately with
soap.
○ Be sure to check for any fuel leakage after refueling.
Before fueling, clean the tank cap area carefully, to ensure that
no dirt falls into the tank. Make sure that the fuel is well mixed by
shaking the container, before fueling.
Starting
CAUTION
Do not start if the pipe and guard net is obstructed.
1. Check the switch (7) to ON position. (Fig. 4)
* Push priming bulb (8) several times so that fuel fl ows through
the bulb or return pipe (9). (Fig. 5)
2. Set choke lever to CLOSED position. (Fig. 6)
3. Pull recoil starter briskly, taking care to keep the handle in your
grasp and not allowing it to snap back. (Fig. 7)
4. When you hear the engine want to start, return choke lever to
RUN position (open). Then pull recoil starter briskly again.
WARNING
○ Never start or run the engine inside a closed room or building
and/or near the infl ammable liquid. Breathing exhaust fumes
can kill.
○ Do not allow the rope to snap back in and always hold the unit
fi rmly.
NOTE
If engine does not start, repeat procedures from 2 to 4.
5. After starting engine, allow the engine about 2–3 minutes to
warm up before subjecting it to any load.
* If the engine stops and is hard to restart straightaway, allow it
to cool before trying again.
Operating blower (Fig. 8)
○ A low speed should be used to blow leaves and dry grass.
○ A medium speed should be used to clean wet leaves and grass.
○ A high speed should be used when moving gravel, dirt or other
heavy materials.
WARNING
○ Do not direct discharge of air toward people or pet.
○ The unit should be operated in a well ventilated area.
○ Never perform assembly or disassembly procedures with

English
CAUTION
This blower has been designed and adjusted to be used with all
blowing pipes attached. It must never be operated without the
straight pipe, and conic pipe.
Stopping (Fig. 9)
Decrease engine speed and run at an idle for a few minutes, then
turn off ignition switch.
MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE, REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF THE EMISSION
CONTROL DEVICES AND SYSTEMS MAY BE PERFORMED
BY ANY NON-ROAD ENGINE REPAIR ESTABLISHMENT OR
INDIVIDUAL.
Carburetor adjustment (Fig. 10)
In the carburetor, fuel is mixed with air. When the engine is test
run at the factory, the carburetor is basically adjusted. A further
adjustment may be required, according to climate and altitude. The
carburetor has one adjustment possibility:
T = Idle speed adjustment screw.
Idle speed adjustment (T)
Check that the air fi lter is clean. If adjustment is required, turn
IDLE speed Adjustment Screw (T) close (clockwise) to increase
engine speed, open (counterclockwise) to decrease engine speed.
Standard Idle rpm is 2800-3200rpm.
RECOMMENDATION
CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT NEEDS THE SKILL OF
EXPERIENCED OR WELL TRAINED PEOPLE, OR IS
RECOMMENDED TO TAKE THE UNIT TO HITACHI DEALER.
Air fi lter (Fig. 11)
The air fi lter must be cleaned from dust and dirt in order to avoid:
○ Carburetor malfunctions
○ Starting problems
○ Engine power reduction
○ Unnecessary wear on the engine parts
○ Abnormal fuel consumption
Remove the air cleaner cover by pushing and pulling back the tab
on the top.
Clean the air fi lter daily or more often if working in exceptionally
dusty areas.
Cleaning the air fi lter
Open the air fi lter cover and the fi lter. Rinse it in warm soap suds.
Check that the fi lter is dry before reassembly. An air fi lter that has
been used for some time cannot be cleaned completely. Therefore,
it must regularly be replaced with a new one. A damaged fi lter must
always be replaced.
Fuel fi lter (Fig. 12)
Drain all fuel from fuel tank and pull fuel fi lter line from tank. Pull
fi lter element out of holder assembly and rinse element in warm
water with detergent.
Rinse thoroughly until all traces of detergent are eliminated.
Squeeze, do not wring, away excess water and allow element to air
dry.
NOTE
If element is hard due to excessive dirt buildup, replace it.
Spark plug
(Fig. 13)
The spark plug condition is infl uenced by:
○ An incorrect carburetor setting
○ Wrong fuel mixture (too much oil in the gasoline)
○ A dirty air fi lter
○ Hard running conditions (such as cold weather)
These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes, which
may result in malfunction and starting diffi culties. If the engine
is low on power, diffi cult to start or runs poorly at idling speed,
always check the spark plug fi rst. If the spark plug is dirty, clean it
and check the electrode gap. Re-adjust if necessary. The correct
gap is 0.6 mm. The spark plug should be replaced after about 100
operation hours or earlier if the electrodes are badly eroded.
NOTE
In some areas, local law requires using a resistor spark plug
to suppress ignition signals. If this machine was originally
equipped with resistor spark plug, use same type of spark plug
for replacement.
Maintenance schedule
Below you will fi nd some general maintenance instructions. For
further information please contact your Hitachi dealer.
Daily maintenance
○ Clean the exterior of the unit.
○ Check the dust cover for damage or cracks. Change the cover
in case of impacts or cracks.
○ Check that nuts and screws are suffi ciently tightened.
Weekly maintenance
○ Check the starter, especially the cord.
○ Clean the exterior of the spark plug.
○ Remove the spark plug and check the electrode gap. Adjust it
