SAFETY PB-8010 H/T It is believed that a condition called Raynaud’s Phenomenon, which affects the fingers of certain individuals, may be brought about by exposure to vibration and cold. Exposure to vibration and cold may cause tingling and burning sensations, followed by loss of color and numbness in the fingers. The following precautions are strongly recommended, because the minimum exposure, which might trigger the ailment, is unknown.
PB-8010 H/T SAFETY • Do exercises to strengthen the hand and arm muscles. • Immediately stop using all power equipment and consult a doctor if you feel tingling, numbness, or pain in the fingers, hands, wrists, or arms. The sooner RSI/CTS is diagnosed, the more likely permanent nerve and muscle damage can be prevented. All over head electrical conductors and communications wires can have electricity flow with high voltages. This unit is not insulated against electrical current.
SAFETY PB-8010 H/T Avoid Hot Surfaces • Keep exhaust area clear of flammable debris. Avoid contact during and immediately after operation. Equipment Use only approved attachments.

MAINTENANCE PB-8010 H/T Air Filter Level 1. Parts Required: TUNE UP KIT. 1. Close choke (COLD START position). This prevents dirt from entering the carburetor throat when the air filter is removed. Brush accumulated dirt from air cleaner area. 2. Remove air filter cover, foam pre-filter, and air filter. Brush dirt from inside cover. Foam Pre-Filter: • Clean foam pre- filter (A) in water/detergent solution and rinse with clean water.
PB-8010 H/T MAINTENANCE Fuel Filter Level 1. Parts Required: TUNE UP KIT. Fuel is VERY flammable. Use extreme care when mixing, storing or handling, or serious personal injury may result. 1. Use a clean rag to remove loose dirt from around fuel cap and empty fuel tank. 2. Pull the fuel filter from the tank. Do not damage fuel line while removing fuel filter from tank. 3. Remove the filter from the line and install the new filter.
MAINTENANCE PB-8010 H/T Spark Plug Level 2. Parts Required: TUNE-UP KIT Use only NGK CMR7H spark plug 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 102-153 kgf • cm (86-133 in • lbf). 38 0.65 mm (0.026 in.
PB-8010 H/T MAINTENANCE 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. Overheating and engine seizure can occur when: • Air intakes are blocked, preventing cooling air from reaching the cylinder. • Dust and grass build up on the outside of the cylinder. This build up insulates the engine and prevents the heat from leaving.
MAINTENANCE PB-8010 H/T Exhaust System Spark Arrestor Screen Level 2. Parts Required: Spark Arrestor Screen Carbon deposits in muffler will cause a drop in engine output and overheating. Spark arrestor screen must be checked periodically. 1. Disconnect spark plug lead from spark plug. 2. Remove engine cover. 3. Remove spark arrestor screen (C) from muffler. Replace screen if plugged with carbon deposits.
PB-8010 H/T MAINTENANCE Exhaust Port Cleaning Level 2. Parts Required: As needed: Muffler Gasket 1. Remove spark plug lead from spark plug, and remove engine cover. 2. Place piston at top dead center. Remove muffler (A) and muffler gasket (B). 3. B A Use a wood or plastic scraping tool to clean deposits from cylinder exhaust port. Never use a metal tool to scrape carbon from the exhaust port. Do not scratch the cylinder or piston when cleaning the exhaust port.
MAINTENANCE PB-8010 H/T 8. Start engine, and warm to operating temperature. 9. Stop engine, and re-tighten mounting bolts (or nuts) to specifications. Carburetor Adjustment Engine Break-In New engines must be operated a minimum duration of two tanks of fuel break-in before carburetor adjustments can be made. During the break-in period your engine performance will increase and exhaust emissions will stabilize. Idle speed can be adjusted as required.
PB-8010 H/T 3. MAINTENANCE Check idle speed and reset if necessary. If a tachometer is available, idle speed screw (A) should be set to the specifications found on “Specifications” Page of this manual. Turn idle screw (A) clockwise to increase idle speed; counter clockwise to decrease idle speed. A A Throttle Cable Adjustment (PB-8010 T only) Level 1 If engine idle speed changes when blower pipe is moved, or engine will not reach full wide open throttle speed, adjust throttle cable. 1.
TROUBLESHOOTING 2. Turn Adjustment Screw until Throttle Trigger free play is 4 - 6 mm (3/16-1/4 in.). 3. After adjustment, squeeze and release Throttle Trigger several times to verify Carburetor Throttle Shaft has full range of movement from idle to wide open throttle positions. PB-8010 H/T 3/16 - 1/4 in. (4 - 6 mm) TROUBLESHOOTING Fuel vapors are extremely flammable and may cause fire and/or explosion.
