To start the Ryobi RY38BP Blower, ensure the fuel tank is filled with the correct fuel mix. Set the choke lever to the START position, press the primer bulb 5-7 times until fuel is visible, pull the starter rope briskly until the engine starts, then set the choke to the RUN position.
If the blower won't start, check the fuel level and quality, ensure the spark plug is clean and properly gapped, inspect the air filter for clogs, and verify all connections are secure. If problems persist, consult the manual or contact customer support.
To maintain the air filter, remove it from the blower housing, wash it with soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to dry completely. Reinstall the filter, ensuring it is properly seated. Replace the filter if it shows signs of wear or damage.
The Ryobi RY38BP Blower requires a gasoline and oil mix at a ratio of 50:1. Use fresh unleaded gasoline and high-quality 2-cycle engine oil. Avoid using ethanol blends exceeding 10%.
If the blower runs rough or stalls, check the air filter and spark plug for dirt or damage, ensure the fuel is fresh, and inspect the fuel lines for leaks. Adjust the carburetor settings according to the manual if necessary.
Regular maintenance should be performed at least once per season or every 25 hours of use. This includes checking and cleaning the air filter, inspecting and replacing the spark plug, and ensuring all screws and fittings are secure.
The correct spark plug gap for the Ryobi RY38BP Blower is 0.025 inches (0.635 mm). Check the gap with a feeler gauge and adjust if necessary to ensure optimal engine performance.
To store the blower for the off-season, drain the fuel tank, run the engine until it stops, clean the exterior and air filter, and inspect for damage. Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.
If the blowers performance is weak, clean or replace the air filter, check the spark plug, and ensure the fuel mixture is correct. Inspect the blower tube for obstructions and adjust the carburetor settings if necessary.
Yes, you can use a different brand of 2-cycle engine oil in your Ryobi RY38BP Blower, but ensure it meets the specifications and quality recommended in the user manual. Using high-quality oil ensures better performance and longevity of the engine.
