To start the Husqvarna 560BTS Leaf Blower, ensure the fuel tank is filled, set the choke to the closed position, press the primer bulb several times until fuel is visible, set the throttle to the start position, and pull the starter handle until the engine fires. Then, set the choke to the open position and pull again if necessary.
If the blower won't start, check the fuel level and quality, ensure the spark plug is clean and properly gapped, verify that the air filter is clean, and make sure the choke and throttle are in the correct starting positions.
To maintain the air filter, remove it from the blower, inspect for dirt and debris, and clean it using soapy water. Let it dry completely before reinstalling. Replace the air filter if it is damaged or excessively dirty.
The correct fuel mixture for the Husqvarna 560BTS is 50:1, using unleaded gasoline and high-quality 2-stroke engine oil.
Replace the spark plug every season or after 100 hours of operation, whichever comes first. Always use the recommended spark plug type for optimal performance.
To store the blower during the off-season, empty the fuel tank, clean the exterior, remove the spark plug and add a few drops of oil into the cylinder. Pull the starter handle to distribute the oil, then replace the spark plug. Store in a cool, dry place.
If experiencing poor performance or power loss, check and clean the air filter, inspect and replace the spark plug if necessary, ensure the fuel mixture is correct, and examine the exhaust for blockages.
Regular maintenance includes checking and cleaning the air filter, inspecting and replacing the spark plug as needed, verifying the fuel system for leaks, and inspecting the fan and housing for debris.
To adjust the carburetor, locate the adjustment screws and make small, incremental changes while the blower is running. Adjust the idle speed and mixture screws to achieve smooth operation and optimal performance. Refer to the manual for specific instructions and safety precautions.
Wear appropriate protective gear such as goggles, ear protection, and gloves. Ensure the area is clear of debris and bystanders. Always follow the manufacturer's safety guidelines and operate the blower according to instructions.
