OPERATION  
INTENDED USE: This machine is designed for cleaning  
outdoor surfaces, where the debris can be effectively  
blown into a consolidated area for convenient pickup and  
removal.  
OPTIONAL GUST ADJUSTER KIT increases blowing  
distance and blowing control. ( can be purchased  
separately, see page 1 for optional accessories).  
Do not operate if excessive vibration occurs. If excessive  
vibration occurs, shut engine off immediately and check  
for damaged or worn impeller, loose impeller bolt, loose  
impeller key, loose engine or lodged foreign objects.  
Note: See parts list for proper impeller bolt torque specifi-  
cations. (See trouble shooting section on page 16).  
Deflectors adjusted upward  
increases air volume and  
blowing distance.  
Like all mechanical tools, reasonable care must  
be used when operating machine.  
Inspect machine work area and machine before operat-  
ing. Make sure that all operators of this equipment are  
trained in general machine use and safety.  
PUT OIL IN ENGINE BEFORE STARTING  
Fig. 2  
Deflectors adjusted  
STARTING  
16.1  
downward increases air  
velocity for cleaning crevices  
and blowing heavier debris.  
ENGINE: See engine manufacturer’s instructions  
for type and amount of oil and gasoline used.  
Engine must be level when checking and filling oil and  
gasoline.  
ENGINE SPEED: Controlled by throttle lever on the handle.  
Under normal conditions, operate at minimum throttle to  
accomplish your current cleaning task.  
STOP SWITCH: Located on engine for Push models and on  
upper handle for SP models. Switch must be in "ON"  
position to start engine.  
Fig. 3  
FUEL VALVE: Move fuel valve to "ON" position.  
Debris in the air stream can be blown farther by adjusting  
the deflectors in a consistent up-and-down motion.  
CHOKE: Operated with choke lever on side of engine .  
THROTTLE: Move remote throttle control to fast position.  
Pull starting rope to start engine.  
16.4  
HANDLING & TRANSPORTING:  
IF YOUR UNIT FAILS TO START:  
See Troubleshooting on page 16.  
Move diverter rod to closed (O) position. Do not lift by hand. Use  
loading ramps or other mechanical assistance. Secure in place during  
transport.  
16.2  
BLOWING OPERATION  
The diverter rod controls the closing (O) and opening ( I ) of the  
exhaust outlet. Adjust diverter rod to side discharge for normal  
blowing or to forward discharge for blowing along walls, fences or  
hard-to-reach areas (see Fig. 1).  
STORAGE  
16.5  
Never store engine indoors or in enclosed poorly venti-  
Diverter Rod  
lated areas with fuel in tank, where fuel fumes may reach an  
open flame, spark or pilot light, as on a furnace, water heater,  
clothes dryer or other gas appliance.  
If engine is to be unused for 30 days or more, prepare as  
follows:  
Be sure engine is cool. Do not smoke. Remove all  
gasoline from carburetor and fuel tank to prevent gum deposits  
from forming on these parts and causing possible malfunction  
of engine. Drain fuel outdoors, into an approved container,  
away from open flame. Run engine until fuel tank is empty and  
engine runs out of gasoline.  
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer (such as Sta-Bil) is an acceptable alternative in  
minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add  
stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container. Always follow  
mix ratio found on stabilizer container. Run engine at least 10 min.  
after adding stabilizer to allow it to reach the carburetor.

OPERATION continued  
16.6  
PROPULSION self propelled only  
PROPULSION: QB1601 self-propelled blowers are equipped  
with 5 forward gears, neutral and reverse. (see TABLE 1 below)  
With the engine running, and the bail in released position  
select desired drive gear.(see Fig. 4) Pull bail against handle  
to automatically release brake and engage drive (see Fig. 5).  
Smoothly engage the bail.  
Bail  
Released  
Use good judgement when operating the self propelled drive.  
Fifth gear is a fast walking speed and should be used only for  
moving quickly from place-to-place. Using neutral, on level  
terrain is advisable when maneuvering in tight areas. This  
increases operator control, and can prevent bumping into  
nearby objects.  
Automatic  
Parking  
Brake  
Do not force-shift gears of transmission. Shift gears only when  
drive is disengaged. To stop machine, release operator's bail.  
To move unit by hand "freewheeling", requires that the gear  
shift be in neutral (see Fig. 4), and the operator hold the drive  
bail against the handle to disengage the parking brake.  
Engages  
when bail is  
released.  
MACHINE  
PARKED  
Fig. 5  
When using Reverse - Set Throttle to Idle.  
With operator's bail released, move shift lever past neutral  
stop, by pulling the shift lever back and moving it to the right,  
into "Reverse" gear position. Then smoothly pull operator's  
bail against handle. Release bail to stop (see figure 5).

DRIVE  
7. It may be necessary to adjust the belt engagement. See Belt  
Adjustment.  
Chains and Belts are normal replaceable wear items. A new  
chain should not be used on worn sprockets. Sprockets  
should be inspected and replaced when worn.  
Chain Replacement: (See fig. 11)  
1. Remove spark plug wire.  
2. Remove bottom drive guard.  
3. Inspect sprockets for wear. Replace if badly worn or dam-  
aged.  
MAINTENANCE- SP MODELS ONLY  
Brake Adjustment: As parking brake wears, the brake discs  
may eventually require adjustment. To adjust, remove bottom  
guard from engine base and tighten brake adjusting nut on  
transmission. Adjust cable nut as required. Unit must free-  
wheel in neutral with clutch engaged and brake off.  
DO NOT OVER ADJUST.  
4. Release chain tension. See Chain Adjustment.  
5. Remove operators right and center axle bearings.  
6. Remove old chain by sliding over the axle and out the hole  
that the right axle bearing was mounted in.  
7. Install new chain in the reverse order of removal.  
8. Set chain tension. See Chain Adjustment.  
9. Replace bottom drive guard.  
Chain Adjustment: (See fig. 11)  
1. Remove spark plug wire.

10. Replace spark plug wire.  
3. Inspect chain and sprockets for wear, lubrication and  
tension. Replace if badly worn or damaged. Skip to CHAIN  
REPLACEMENT  
4.Check chain tension. There should be no more than 0.25"  
total movement when chain is flexed from top to bottom.  
5. To increase chain tension, loosen, do not remove, the bolts  
that hold the bearings in place on each side and in the center  
of the differential.  
6. Loosen, do not remove, the Jam nut that locks the bolt into  
the chain tensioner on each side of the differential.  
7. With the bolts loose, equally tighten the chain tensioner bolt  
on both the left and right side of the differential.  
8. Adjust in small increments, checking chain alignment,  
tension and axle squareness between steps. Roll wheels to  
check that there are no excessively tight areas in the chain.  
Repeat adjustment steps if necessary. A slightly loose chain is  
better than an over tightened one.  
Fig. 10  
9. With chain properly adjusted securely tighten the jam nuts,  
and bearing mount bolts.  
10. Reinstall drive guard.  
11. Reconnect spark plug wire.  
Chain Lubrication: With machine not running, oil chain using  
general purpose S.A.E. 30 weight oil every 25 hours or as  
needed. Chain oiling hole is located on operator's left at rear  
of engine base. Note: Be sure that entire length of chain is  
properly oiled. Oiling only a few positions in the chain rotation  
will not properly oil the chain.
