Introducing the RB24EA (H1) Blower, part of Hitachi’s extensive petrol range.

This compact, lightweight and economical blower is equipped with Hitachi’s innovative S-start and Pure Fire Engine features. The S-start feature reduces amount of pull force required to start engine by up to 50% while the 0.84kW 23.9cc Pure Fire Engine produces especially low emissions and achieves 30% less fuel consumption without the need for additional internal moving parts.

The large 520ml fuel tank ensures increased work time while the 273km max air speed tapered nozzle provides increased blowing velocity. The large throttle lever requires less pressure to operate to ensure maximum ease of use and control.

With all these features the RB24EA remains amazingly lightweight at only 3.9kgs which further demonstrates our claim that Hitachi’s petrol range has been designed with everyone in mind.

On March 1, 1998, Tanaka became the first two-stroke manufacturer to certify to the stringent C.A.R.B. Tier II emissions regulations.

These innovative two-stroke engines produce especially low emissions and achieve 30% less fuel consumption without the need for additional internal moving parts.
During the intake & compression stroke, the optimized scavenging system within the cylinder and crankcase walls, significantly increase the atomization of the fuel & air mixture which results in a much more efficient combustion process.

Then, in the combustion & exhaust stroke, the exhaust exits through a small catalytic converter in the muffler where the remaining hydrocarbons turn into carbon dioxide.
Less moving parts, better power-to-weight, and outstanding throttle response are just a few of the advantages Pure Fire products have over 4-cycle or hybrid 4-cycle powered products. The key advantages are as follows:

1. Service Costs
Due to the design elements and the additional internal components, labour costs for service and repairs of 4-cycle engines are considerably higher.

2. Maintenance
Standard compact 4-cycle engines utilise oil reservoirs, however their extremely small capacity requires that the owner check it constantly and change it regularly. Since these engines do consume oil, the probability of lubrication related failure is significantly higher.
3. Power-to-Weight
Two-stroke engines are generally smaller in size and up to 30 percent lighter than compact 4-cycle engines with the same or in some cases even larger power ratings.

4. Performance
Pure Fire two-stroke engines provide more usable power and torque at RPMs most suitable for effectively powering handheld products.

5. Internal Components
Compact 4-cycle engines utilise four times the amount of components as Pure Fire two-stroke engines. Many of which are moving and subject to excessive wear.
