End Of Work; Cleaning And Maintenance - Scheppach LBH3500P Original Bedienungsanleitung

10.2.2 Normal procedure
1. Loosen the throttle lock (7).
2. Release the throttle (8).
3. Press the ON/OFF switch (16) to the "0" position.
10.3 Set the engine speed.
Set the desired engine speed for operating the device
using the throttle lever (8). The throttle lever position
can be adjusted with the throttle lever lock (7).
Note
Avoid running the engine at full power for the first 6-8
operating hours.
10.4 Leaf blower operation
When operating the device as a leaf blower, hold the
device by the handle at the top (9).
The engine speed should be adapted to the type of
material to be removed:
• Use the engine at low speed for light material on
the lawn.
• Use the engine at average speed to move grass
and light leaves on asphalt or solid ground.
• Use the engine at high speed for heavier materials
such as fresh snow or dirt.
CAUTION
Always make sure that no objects or dust are blown
in the direction of people or animals and make sure
that objects will not be damaged. Always observe the
wind direction and never work against the wind.
10.5 Operation of the petrol leaf vacuum
CAUTION
The device must always be held with both hands dur-
ing work.
• Place your left hand on the top handle (9) and your
right hand on the bottom handle (21).
• Hold the bottom handle (21) so that the collection
bag (24) is on the right side of the operator.
• When used as a leaf vacuum, it is best to operate
the engine at medium/high speed.
• During collection, hold the rounded end of the
suction nozzle (12) a few centimetres above the
ground.
The collection bag (24) also works like a filter, similar
to an ordinary house hoover. For this reason it is best:
• To avoid completely filling the collection bag (24);
• To remove bulky objects immediately.
10.5.1 Empty the collection bag (24)
• Switch off the engine.
• Unzip the collection bag (24) and empty the col-
lection bag (24) without detaching it from the outlet
tube (18).
Note
When using the leaf blower, do not collect wet grass
or leaves as this could clog the rotor or collection bag.
Note
When using the device as a leaf vacuum, there is a
risk of sucking in objects that may block the device
and the rotor.
In this case:
• Switch the engine off immediately!
• Remove the cover of the spark plug connector (17).
• Pull off the spark plug connector (30).
• Remove the vacuum tube (14).
• Remove the foreign object from the vacuum inlet.
• Make sure that nothing is blocking the rotor before
using the device again.
Note
If the bag is too full this reduces the efficiency of the
device and can cause the engine to overheat.

10.6 End of work

Switch the device off.
Remove the spark plug connector (30) to avoid acci-
dental start-up (see chapter 11.2.2 Spark plug main-
tenance).
Clean it thoroughly (see chapter 12. Cleaning and
maintenance).

11. Cleaning and maintenance

Only carry out cleaning and maintenance work to
the extent specified in this operating manual. Further
work must be carried out by qualified specialists.
11.1 Cleaning
CAUTION
Always switch off the device and disconnect the spark
plug connector (See 11.2.2 Spark plug maintenance)
before cleaning.
Note
The device should be thoroughly cleaned after each
use.
Note
Never immerse the device in water or other liquids
for cleaning.
• Keep protective devices, air vents and the engine
housing as free of dust and dirt as possible. Blow it
out with low-pressure compressed air.
• To reduce the risk of fire, regularly clean the cooling
fins of the engine with compressed air. Clear the si-
lencer area of dust, leaves or other foreign objects.
