Cause 1Spark Arrestor
The spark arrestor is a small screen that prevents the engine from emitting sparks. Over time, the spark arrestor can become clogged with soot. If the spark arrestor is clogged, the engine may stall. To unclog the spark arrestor, remove it and clean it with a wire brush. You may also replace the spark arrestor.
Cause 2Carburetor
The carburetor might be clogged. A clogged carburetor is most commonly caused by leaving fuel in the leaf blower for a long period of time. Over time, some of the ingredients in the fuel may evaporate, leaving behind a thicker, stickier substance. This sticky fuel can clog up the carburetor and cause the engine to stall. If the carburetor is clogged, try cleaning it with carburetor cleaner. If cleaning the carburetor isn't effective, rebuild or replace the entire carburetor.

For some reason it is overheating and shutting itself off. There is a law that all electronics are supposed to have a point to where it automatically shuts off if it gets too hot from a malfunction or loose connection in the circuit board. It is to protect the consumer. You either need to take it to a tech or get rid of it. Get a new one.

It sounds to me like it is overheating. Make sure that all of the literature that came with the unit is accounted for. Many times the manual or instructions are blocking the exhaust causing it to overheat. If this is not the problem then I would suggest exchanging it for a new one. It may be a manufacturer defect.
SOURCE: Bought used Giant-vac walk behind leaf blower.
The model number that you posted looks like a briggs model. You can go to any briggs dealer and buy the engine manual for this engine. That will give you the procedue for rebuilding the carburetor which looks like a place to start. I also think that giant-vac was bought by some other company thus you may have to do some research on the internet.
The parts manual for the engine is on the briggs internet site.
good luck
