sections. Never insert any body part or other foreign object in any opening

while the machine is running.

•When operating unit, keep people and pets a safe distance away. Instruct

children to keep away from the area of operation at all times.

•Do not use on steep inclines (over 30 degrees), as unit can roll over.

UNIT ASSEMBLY

HANDLE ASSEMBLY:

Please refer to Parts list for correct part identification and placement. Please note that serrated flange nuts

may be used in place of split lock washers and hex nuts in some assembly steps.

•Insert Lower handles (Parts List Ref. #28) into Upper handle (#26) until bolt holes are

aligned. Insert one 5/16-18 x 1-1/2” hex bolt (#29) into each of the holes on either side,

securing with split lock washers and hex nuts (#30, 31 – may be serrated flange nuts). Note:

Do not tighten these bolts yet.

•Attach lower portion of handle assembly to engine base by aligning holes in lower handles

with corresponding holes in engine base. Fasten with four 5/16-18 x 1-1/2” bolts and secure

with split lock washers and nuts (or serrated flange nuts). Tighten all handle assembly bolts

securely.

FRONT CASTER WHEEL ASSEMBLY:

•Attach front caster wheel assembly (#19-

23) to unit by butting outward bends in

mounting brackets of assembly against

front lower corner of unit (next to blower

discharge door), making sure mounting

holes in both parts are aligned. Note:

Angled edge of mounting brackets

should be upwards, with holes toward

bottom. Fasten with two 5/16-18 x 5/8”

hex bolts (#24) and split lock washers

(#25). Leave all bolts finger tight.

•Check caster wheel for proper vertical

alignment, adjust as necessary, then tighten bolts securing assembly to unit.

SIDE AIR DEFLECTOR:

•Attach side air deflector (#7) to top of

discharge chute by aligning holes in

deflector with corresponding holes in top of

chute snout. Fasten with two 5/16-18 x 5/8

hex bolts (#8) and split lock washers (#9).

Note: Deflector should be angled

downward.

Assembly of your Giant-Blo Jr. is now complete.

UNIT OPERATION

STARTING THE ENGINE

IMPORTANT NOTE: The procedures outlined within this section are general guidelines, and are in no

way meant to replace or supercede engine manufacturer’s operating instructions. In order to obtain

optimum performance from your engine, refer to your engine manual.

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE:

•Be sure that the unit is completely assembled, all fasteners are tightened securely, and all

safety guards and components are in place.

•Be sure to check engine’s oil and gasoline*. (See engine manual for recommended oil and

gasoline specifications.) Never check the engine while it is running or while you are

smoking. Check only when engine is cold.

* All machines are shipped without oil or gasoline unless otherwise noted.

TO START ENGINE :

•Set throttle control up to full position. Depress fuel prime button firmly three times. (Fuel

prime button is located on side of engine, below muffler)

•Bracing blower with left hand, grasp recoil handle and pull briskly with right. (You may have

to pull several times before engine starts. If engine fails to start within a reasonable number

of attempts, discontinue and check engine manual for further instructions.)

•After engine starts, move throttle control down to half.

CAUTION! Blower impeller is mounted directly to engine shaft; starting engine will

immediately result in high velocity air discharge. Be sure discharge chute is directed

away from people, animals and objects when starting engine.

TO SHUT ENGINE DOWN :

•Allow engine to idle for 2-3 minutes before shutting down.

•Set throttle control down to ‘stop’ position.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you experience problems with your engine that cannot be satisfactorily resolved

by following the instructions contained within the engine manual, contact your local engine dealer, or call

the toll-free service number listed in the repair section of the engine manual. All engine service, warranty

or otherwise, is required to be performed by a manufacturer-authorized service center. Giant-Vac Mfg.,

Inc. is neither authorized nor responsible for any type of warranty engine service, nor is it equipped to

perform any such service.

UNIT OPERATION (Cont.)

OPERATING THE BLOWER:

DANGER! Do not pass by or stand on the air discharge side of any leaf blower with the

engine running. High velocity discharge can easily turn harmless debris into dangerous

flying projectiles, causing severe injury.

TO BLOW DEBRIS OUT TOWARD FRONT OF UNIT:

•Open the forward air deflector door, mounted on the front of the discharge end of the

blower, by pushing the control lever toward the front of the machine. This feature is ideal for

such things as blowing debris from a wall or fence. Adjust engine speed to increase or

decrease air discharge rate. NEVER INSERT ANY BODY PART OR OTHER FOREIGN

OBJECT IN ANY OPENING WHILE THE MACHINE IS RUNNING.

TO BLOW DEBRIS OUT TOWARD SIDE OF UNIT:

•Close the front air deflector door by pulling the control lever back toward the rear of the

machine. This will direct air out through the side discharge opening. Adjust engine speed to

increase or decrease air discharge rate. NEVER INSERT ANY BODY PART OR OTHER

FOREIGN OBJECT IN ANY OPENING WHILE THE MACHINE IS RUNNING.

HINTS FOR EFFECTIVE OPERATION:

•For operator ease and maneuverability, push down on the upper handle while walking so

that the machine balances on the rear wheels. This will be especially useful when turning

corners.

•When blowing dry debris, set blower discharge to lower rate; when blowing wet or frozen

debris, increase discharge rate.

•Practice makes perfect. Allow yourself time to become familiar with your machine. In very

little time you will become quite proficient at debris removal with your Giant-Blo Jr.

UNIT MAINTENANCE & STORAGE

•Follow implicitly the engine manufacturer’s recommendations for maintenance.

•Never make any adjustments to the unit until the engine is off and the spark plug wire is

disconnected.

•If carburetor adjustment is necessary, stand to one side and keep feet and hands in the clear while

making adjustments.

•Keep engine free of accumulations of grass, leaves or excessive grease. An accumulation of these

combustible materials may result in a fire.

•Store gasoline in a safe and approved container in a cool, dry place.

•Keep the unit and any fuel containers in locked storage to prevent children from playing and/or

tampering with them.

•Do not store gasoline powered equipment or fuel containers in a basement or any closed area where

heating or heat appliances or open pilot lights are present, unless the fuel is completely drained from

the power equipment and the fuel containers.
