To start the Stihl BG 75 blower, ensure the on/off switch is set to 'on', move the choke lever to the closed position, press the fuel pump bulb several times until fuel is visible, and then pull the starter grip slowly until you feel resistance, followed by a quick, strong pull.
The correct fuel mixture for the Stihl BG 75 is 50:1, which means 50 parts of gasoline to 1 part of two-stroke engine oil.
If the blower won't start, check the fuel tank for adequate fuel, ensure the spark plug is clean and properly connected, verify the air filter is clean, and ensure the choke is in the correct position.
Regular maintenance includes checking and cleaning the air filter, inspecting and replacing the spark plug annually, cleaning the fuel tank, and checking the fuel lines for leaks or cracks.
To clean the air filter, remove the air filter cover, take out the filter and wash it in warm, soapy water. Allow it to dry completely before reinstalling. Replace it if it's damaged or excessively dirty.
If the blower runs rough or stalls, check the air filter and spark plug for dirt or wear. Ensure the fuel mixture is correct and inspect the carburetor for clogs or adjustments needed.
To replace the spark plug, first disconnect the spark plug wire, then use a spark plug wrench to remove the old plug. Install a new, correctly gapped spark plug and reconnect the spark plug wire.
Before storing the blower, clean it thoroughly, drain the fuel tank, and run the engine until it stops to clear fuel from the carburetor. Store in a dry, safe place away from any ignition sources.
To reduce noise and vibration, ensure all parts are fitted securely, use the blower at the recommended speed settings, and wear appropriate ear protection.
If performance decreases, check for blockages in the intake and exhaust, inspect the air filter, and ensure the fuel mixture is fresh and correct. Regularly servicing the blower can also help maintain performance.
