AVOID NOISE PROBLEM
NOTE
Check and follow the local regulations as to
sound levels and hours of operations for blower.
1. Operate power equipment only at reasonable hours,
not early in the morning or late at night when people
might be disturbed. Comply with times listed in local
ordinances.
2. To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of
equipment used at any one time.
7. Prolonged use of a blower, exposing the operator to
vibrations and cold, may produce whitefinger
disease (Raynaud’s phenomenon), the symptoms of
which include tingling and burning sensations
followed by loss of color and numbness in the
fingers. All factors which contribute to whitefinger
disease are not known, but cold weather, smoking
diseases or physical conditions as well as long
periods of exposure to vibration are mentioned as
factors. In order to reduce the risk of whitefinger
disease, the following precautions are strongly
recommended
3. Operate power blowers at the lowest possible throttle
speed to do the job.
4. Check your equipment before operation, especially
the muffler, air intakes and air filters.

the air blast or thrown debris.
3. Make sure you can move and
stand safely. Check the area
Each time before starting the engine, inspect the entire

(roots, rocks, branches, ditches,
etc.) in case you have to move
suddenly. Take great care when
working on sloping ground.
IMPORTANT
Before starting operation, always make sure to
check if any obstacles are left inside the volute
case and net.The obstacles may cause serious
injury or damage to fan and volute case.
4. To reduce the risk of injury
associated with thrown objects.
a) Watch out for children, pets, open windows or
freshly washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
b) Use the full blower tube extension so the air stream

f) Pay attention to the direction of the wind, do not
work against the wind.
WARNING
5. To minimize blowing time.
Check to see if the shock-absorbers <A> have
become cracked or otherwise damaged. Note that
failing to replace these rubber and spring mounts
when they have become cracked or damaged may
cause the engine to come loose from its frame during
use, thus resulting in possible serious bodily injury.
a) Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before
blowing.
b) In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces or
use a mister attachment when water is available.
c) Conserve water by using power blowers instead of
hoses for many lawn and garden applications,
including areas such as gutters, screens, patios,
grills, porches and gardens.
If cracked, be sure to replace without delay.

identification to avoid mixing with raw gasoline or
other containers.
WARNING
-
-
-
Gasoline is very flammable.
Avoid smoking or bringing
any flame or sparks near
fuel. Make sure to stop the
engine and allow it cool
before refueling the unit.
Select outdoor bare ground
for fueling and move at least
10ft (3m) away from the fuel-
ing point before starting the
engine.
The engines are lubricated
by oil specially formulated
for air-cooled 2-cycle
gasoline engine use. If
Husqvarna 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.
■
FUELING THE UNIT
1. Untwist and remove the fuel cap.
2. Put fuel into the fuel tank to 80% of the full capacity.
3. Fasten the fuel cap securely and wipe up any fuel
spillage around the unit.
WARNING
1. Select bare ground for fueling.
2. Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from the
fueling point before starting the engine.
3. Stop the engine and let it cool for a few
minutes before refueling the unit. At that time,
be sure to sufficiently agitate the mixed
gasoline in the container.
4. Do not smoke or place hot objects near fuel.
RECOMMENDED MIXING RATIO

FORYOUR ENGINE LIFE, AVOID;
1. FUEL WITH NO OIL (RAW GASOLINE) - It will
cause severe damage to the internal engine parts

parameters and components (i.e., carburation,
ignition timing and port timing) without addition
of any major hardware or the introduction of an
inert material during combustion.
These engines are certified to operate on
unleaded gasoline.
Make sure to use gasoline with a minimum
octane number of 89 RON (USA/Canada: 87AL)
If you use a gasoline of a lower octane value
than specified, there is a danger that the engine
temperature may rise and an engine problem
such as piston seizing may consequently
occur.
3. OIL FOR 4-CYCLE ENGINE USE - It can cause
spark plug fouling, exhaust port blocking, or piston
ring sticking.
-
-
-
4. Mixed fuels which have been left unused for a period
of one month or more may clog the carburetor and
result in the engine failing to operate properly.
5. When storing the product for a long period of time,
clean the fuel tank after rendering it empty. Next,
activate the engine and empty the carburetor of the
composite fuel.
6. When scrapping the used mixed oil container, scrap
it only at an authorized repository site.

-
Unleaded gasoline is recommended to reduce
the contamination of the air for the sake of your
health and the environment.
Poor quality gasolines or oils may damage
sealing rings, fuel lines or fuel tank of the
engine.
NOTE
For details of quality assurance, read the
description in the Warranty section carefully.
Moreover, normal wear and change in product
with no functional influence are not covered by
the warranty. Also, note that if the usage in the
instruction manual is not observed for the mixed
gasoline, etc. as described herein, it may not be
covered by the warranty.
■
HOW TO MIX FUEL
IMPORTANT
Pay attention to agitation.
1. Measure out the quantities of gasoline and oil to be
mixed.
2. Put some of the gasoline into a clean, approved fuel
container.
3. Pour in all of the oil and agitate well.
4. Pour in the rest of gasoline and agitate again for at
least one minute. As some oils may be difficult to
agitate depending on oil ingredients, sufficient
agitation is necessary for the engine to last long.
Note that, if the agitation is insufficient, there is an
increased danger of early piston seizing due to an
abnormally lean mixture.

AIR CLEANER
-
Check the air cleaner before use.
A clogged air filter may increase fuel consumption while cutting down the
engine power.
Never operate the blower without an air filter or with a deformed or broken
filter element because unfiltered dusty air will quickly ruin the engine.
-
[370BTS/BFS] [380BTS/BFS]
-
Never clean the paper filter by tapping on it. Doing so may break the element,
causing dust to get sucked into the blower and damaging the engine.

SPARK PLUG
F33
-
The spark plug may gather carbon deposits on its firing end with reasonable
use. Remove and inspect the spark plug every 25 hours and clean the
electrodes as necessary with a wire brush. The spark gap should be
adjusted to .025 in (0.6 to 0.7mm).
-
Plug manufacturers recommend replacing the plug twice a year to avoid
unexpected plug failure in a job.
REPLACEMENT PLUG IS A NGK CMR7H.
IMPORTANT
-
-
Note that using any spark plugs other than those designated may
result in the engine failing to operate properly or in the engine becom-
ing overheated and damaged.
To install the spark plug, first turn the plug with your hands until it is
tight, then tighten it a quarter turn more with a socket wrench.

-
To keep the working temperature as low as possible the machine is
equipped with a cooling system.

IMPORTANT
-
-
Blown air is taken in from the air inlet net. If the air flow drops during

Take off the clip from the strap.
Pass the end of the strap through the hanger.
Return the clip to the strap.
IMPORTANT
Make sure that the thick round bar of the clip is in the strap.
If it is attached in the wrong way, it leads to serious personal injury.
Storage
BEFORE STORING THE BLOWER:
1. Drain the fuel tank and push the primer bulb until it becomes empty of fuel.
2. Remove the spark plug and drop a spoonful of 2-cycle oil into the cylider. Crank the engine several time and install
the spark plug.
3. Store unit in a dry, cool and dark, well-ventilated, dust-free place, out of the reach of children.
