Homelite, a brand sold by TTI, manufactures consumer power equipment like the BP250 backpack blower. A backpack blower helps you clean leaves and dirt from your lawn, walkways and driveways, and you can use this tool to gather this debris into a central location. While Homelite no longer produces this backpack blower, you can still find replacement parts for it from online third-party vendors.

Storage/Maintenance
If you don't plan to use your backpack blower for more than 30 days, remove the fuel from the fuel tank, and run the engine until it stops, to remove any lingering fuel. If you choose not to remove the fuel, add a fuel stabilizer to keep the fuel from deteriorating. Always look for any fuel leaks or loose parts before every usage. Only use original equipment manufacturer parts for replacement parts to ensure that your back pack blower works properly. Never store the blower when the engine is hot. After refueling your tank, move at least 10 feet away from the refueling station before turning on the engine.
