To start the Toro PowerSweep 51586 Blower, ensure it is plugged into a power outlet. Hold the blower with one hand on the handle and use the thumb of your other hand to slide the power switch to the 'on' position.
If the blower does not start, check to ensure it is properly plugged into a working power outlet. Also, verify that the power switch is in the 'on' position. If the blower still does not start, inspect the power cord for any damage.
To maintain optimal performance, regularly clean the air intake vents and remove any debris. Ensure the power cord is free of kinks or damage, and store the blower in a dry place when not in use.
Store the blower in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the blower is unplugged, and the power cord is neatly coiled to prevent damage. Avoid storing in damp locations to prevent electrical issues.
If the blower runs intermittently, check the power cord for any loose connections or damage. Ensure the power outlet is functioning correctly. Additionally, inspect the switch for any signs of wear or malfunction.
The Toro PowerSweep 51586 Blower is primarily designed for dry leaves and debris. Using it on wet leaves may reduce its efficiency and could potentially cause clogging. For best results, wait for leaves to dry before blowing.
To clean the blower, first ensure it is unplugged. Use a damp cloth to wipe the exterior surfaces and remove any dust or debris from the air intake vents. Avoid using harsh chemicals or submerging the blower in water.
It is recommended to inspect the blower for maintenance issues every 3 months or after approximately 20 hours of use. Regular inspections help identify potential issues early and extend the lifespan of the blower.
A slight burning smell can occur if the blower is used for extended periods or if debris is caught in the air intake. Turn off the blower and inspect for any obstructions. If the smell persists, discontinue use and consult a professional technician.
Use an outdoor-rated extension cord with a minimum gauge of 16 AWG for cords up to 50 feet and 14 AWG for cords longer than 50 feet. Ensure the cord is in good condition and free from damage to ensure safe operation.
