- Stopping Engine
- Operating Blower
- 1. Use only during appropriate hours.
- 2. Allow the engine to warm up at a fast idle for a few minutes.

- Troubleshooting
- Storage
- Long Term Storage (Over 30 Days)
- 1. Store unit in a dry, dust free place, out of the reach of children.
- 2. Place the stop switch in the “OFF” position.
- 3. Remove accumulation of grease, oil, dirt and debris from exterior of unit.

PB-755S H/T MAINTENANCE
Note: Federal EPA regulations require all model year 2012 and later
gasoline powered engines produced for sale in the United States
to be equipped with a special low permeation fuel supply hose
between the carburetor and fuel tank. When servicing model
year 2012 and later equipment, only fuel supply hoses certified
by EPA can be used to replace the original equipment supply
hose. Fines up to $37,500 may be enforced for using an un-
certified replacement part.
Spark Plug
Level 2.
Use only NGK BPM-8Y spark plug (BPMR-8Y in Canada) otherwise
severe engine damage may occur.
1. Remove spark plug and check for
fouling, worn and rounded center
electrode.
2. Clean the plug or replace with a new
one. DO NOT sand blast to clean.
Remaining sand will damage engine.
3. Adjust spark plug gap by bending
outer electrode.
4. Tighten spark plug to 150-170 kgf • cm (130-150 in • lbf).
Cooling System
Level 2.
To maintain proper engine operating temperatures, cooling air must pass
freely through the cylinder fin area. This flow of air carries combustion
heat away from the engine.
