ADJUSTING GUST EXHAUST
Releasing the lever allows air to be directed upward during use to avoid blowing debris into cars or other structures, or to avoid blowing
landscaped areas that would be damaged by the high-speed air. This position also allows operator to maneuver the machine relative
to the work area without disturbing the debris. When the lever is over halfway back and in lock position this will direct the air parallel to
the ground for the majority of blowing operations. The hand control allows the operator to lock the air stream in this straight out
position. To LOCK the air in position simply pull back on the lever and pull the lever sideways to the right until the lock engages. See
instruction label on the control. With the lever fully drawn to the handle, this position directs the air stream down at the ground to allow
the operator to deliver the maximum power to debris that is stuck or difficult to remove. This position is also very useful for cleaning
out cracks and expansion joints in pavement.
FRONT DISCHARGE POSITION
The removable front discharge adapter can be slipped on to direct the air stream forward. This option is extremely useful for cleaning
out long cracks in pavement or for cleaning under bushes or building overhangs.

threaded cable fitting until the air director position is satisfactory. 3. Tighten the bottom nut.

cable fitting and back it off 1/4 inch. 3. Pull the threaded cable fitting up while pushing down on the air director then check for air
director position. 4. Loosen or tighten the same bottom nut then repeat step 3 until the air director position is satisfactory. 5. Tighten
