These Redmax blowers, it’s very common for both the cylinder head and intake manifold bolts (4) to loosen. As a preventive measure when new, a good idea would be to put a white paint mark across the bolts and manifold and bolts and cylinder base, so with a quick visual inspection you can see if the bolts have loosened. However, the assemblies may compress over time and thus the tension is released and although the bolt hasn’t turned, it would check loose when you tried tightening it. So, it still may be advisable to torque check these bolts periodically. Some other ideas would be blue thread locker, nordlock wedge lock washers (add 2mm to assembled height, may need longer bolt to maintain thread engagement), and lastly, safety wire bolt pairs to each other if you’re good with that sort of thing.
Very good and well explained. I don’t remove the air filter housing and from the back I don’t do those four screws, I do the nut instead, learned that trick from donyboy73.

Great video, easy to understand. How about a video on replacing the Crankcase. Problem I had was one of the mounts cracked.
Bro THANK YOU for making this video
Thank you this was extremely helpful 🎉
