The Hitachi petrol blower is a compact device for maintaining cleanliness in the backyard, in the park and various local areas.
Hitachi is a large financial and industrial corporation with operations around the world. Most of them are in Japan. Hitachi produces a wide range of gardening equipment, which includes gasoline blowers.
Scope
The blower is a device that allows you to clear the area of the site from fallen leaves and various debris. In winter, it can be used to clear snow from the paths.
Blowers are especially in demand for cleaning large areas near hospitals, schools, as well as in parks and gardens.
The air flow in such devices is aimed at blowing off leaves and other objects. Depending on the model, such devices can act like a vacuum cleaner and grind the collected garbage.
However, blowers are suitable not only for cleaning the infield. They are often used for household needs:
- purge of computer power supplies;
- cleaning of system blocks from pollution;
- drying of special equipment;
- in the presence of the “vacuum cleaner” mode, you can clean small objects in the house or on the site;
- elimination of dust in the house;
- cleaning of production sites from sawdust, shavings, dust and other small debris.
Features of petrol blowers
Petrol blowers are powerful and high performance devices. This is reflected in their final cost.
Such equipment works according to a certain principle: the air flow is directed to the surface to be cleaned. Gasoline blowers are equipped with a fuel tank and an electronic ignition system, which makes it easier to start the engine.
The control system of a gasoline vacuum cleaner consists of a lever for regulating the fuel supply and a start button.
Gas blowers have the following advantages:
- work autonomously without being tied to a power source;
- suitable for cleaning large and small areas.
The disadvantages of gasoline devices are:
- high level of vibration;
- noise during operation;
- emission of exhaust gases, which does not allow their use in enclosed spaces;
- the need for refueling.
To eliminate these shortcomings, manufacturers equip blowers with comfortable handles and anti-vibration systems.
Hitachi blowers RB 24 E and RB 24 EA are manual type devices. They are compact in size and light in weight. They are best used for working in small areas where high performance and power are not required.
Specifications of Hitachi Blowers
Hitachi blower gasoline engines are equipped with the New Pure Fire system to reduce toxic emissions.
The devices run on branded 89 octane unleaded gasoline. Be sure to use the original two-stroke oil.
Hitachi blowers have three modes of operation:

Expendable materials
To ensure the operation of a gasoline blower, the following consumables will be required:
Engine oil
When buying equipment with a two-stroke engine, you should purchase the original engine oil supplied by the manufacturer. In its absence, an oil with an antioxidant additive is selected, intended for engines of this type.
Oil is used at each refueling with gasoline in a ratio of 1:25 to 1:50. The result is a homogeneous working mixture.
The components are mixed in a separate container, first add half of the required fuel, then pour in the oil and mix the mixture. The final step is to fill in the remaining gasoline and agitate the fuel mixture.
Personal protective equipment
When working with garden blowers, eye and ear protection equipment is used. This includes protective goggles, earmuffs, and hats. In industrial and construction environments, protective half masks and respirators will be required.
Garden wheelbarrows or stretchers are used to organize the workspace. Gasoline and engine oil are stored in canisters in accordance with the rules for handling combustible materials.
For collecting foliage and other items, it is recommended to use strong bags designed for construction debris.
Safety measures
When working with gasoline blowers, the following safety precautions must be observed:
- work is carried out only in good physical condition;
- if you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you should postpone cleaning;
- clothing should fit snugly to the body, but not impede movement;
- jewelry and accessories are recommended to be removed;
- during the entire period of use of the blower, it is necessary to use personal protective equipment for eyesight and hearing;
- during breaks or transport, turn off the device;
- before refueling, turn off the engine and make sure that there are no ignition sources nearby;
- direct contact with fuel and its vapors should be avoided;
- the air flow is not directed at people and animals;
- you can work with the device only if there are no people and animals within a radius of 15 m;
- when using medical electronic devices, it is recommended to consult a doctor before operating the blower;
- periodically it is recommended to take the device for cleaning to a service center.
Conclusion
The blower quickly and effectively clears the area from leaves, branches and other debris. It is used at construction and production sites, as well as for domestic purposes. Hitachi devices are characterized by high performance, light weight and ease of use.
The model range is represented by devices that differ in power, dimensions and configuration. All of them are environmentally friendly and are developed according to European standards. To work with blowers, consumables are purchased: gasoline, engine oil, personal protective equipment. When interacting with such devices, safety precautions must be observed.
