OPERATION
Operating Blower
Moving parts can amputate fingers or cause severe injuries. Keep hands, clothing and loose objects
away from all openings. Always stop engine, disconnect spark plug, and make sure all moving parts
have come to a complete stop before removing obstructions, clearing debris, or servicing unit.
Blower housing may contain shredder blades and other sharp edges that can cause serious injuries
if touched, even if engine is off and blades are not moving. Wear gloves to protect hands from sharp
edges and hot surfaces.
Always wear safety glasses, hearing protection and a face filter mask or serious personal injury may
result. Do not point the blower pipe in the direction of people or pets.
Use reduced speed only when performing light-duty tasks or to
comply with local noise regulations. Continuous low speed
operation may allow fuel/oil residue to build-up on the piston
and cause rapid build-up of carbon on the spark arrestor
screen, resulting in overheating and engine damage. To reduce
harmful build-up, run engine at wide open throttle for at least 5
minutes every hour, and inspect/clean the spark arrestor screen
after approximately 40 hours of operation.
Read the Safety Section carefully.
To avoid engine damage due to over-revving, do not block
blower pipe.
1. Use only during appropriate hours.
2. Allow the engine to warm up at a fast idle for a few minutes.
3. Use lower speed to blow debris from hard surfaces.
4. Additional speed may be necessary to clean debris, snow,
etc. from lawns and flowerbeds.
Note: Never use a higher speed setting than necessary to perform a task. Remember, the higher the engine
speed, the louder the blower noise. Minimize dust by using blower at lower speeds. Keep debris on
your property. Be Smart - be a good neighbor.
