Came new with a rattle

I bought a new Hitachi leaf blower online from XXXX tools. It arrived quickly and looked good' Upon inspection there was what sounds like a loose bolt inside the case of the blower. Lean it right, the bolt rolls right, left and it returns to the left. I'm not sure
what to do. Open the case and I might ruin warranty; return the blower might be costly; crank it over and might ruin the entire machine. This is to clean tractor sheds roofs.
 
You can take it apart quicker and fix it than the time its going to take to explain your problem to a millennial on the phone that actually dont care what your problem is.
 
I'm with Ditchwhich. Let me ask you this; Is it a gas blower. Could it be a fuel strainer at the end of a rubber line in the gas tank. In that case, nothings wrong. I've heard that noise with different chainsaws, etc. in the past. The strainer flops around on the end of the rubber hose.
 
I would contact Hitachi or the seller, explain your problem, and ask how they want to proceed.
 
I bought a new Epson printer at Staples yesterday. Paper wouldn't feed I turned it over, a gear 2 rollers and a shaft fell out. I figured out where it went and put it back in, It immediately fell out again, kept looking and found a "keeper" that went on the shaft, put it on and I printed about 50 copies today. I didn't take it back because it was a sixty mile round trip.
