Blowing
Start the blower engine, as

blower firmly about 10 - 20 cm
from the ground and move it in a sweeping motion from
left to right, directing the debris to the desired location.
• Use low throttle settings when clearing lightweight
materials from around lawns or shrubbery.
• Use medium to higher throttle settings to move
lightweight grass or leaves from driveways or paths.
• Use full throttle when moving heavy loads such as dirt or snow.
IMPORTANT. Blower noise increases at higher throttle
settings. Always use the lowest throttle setting required to
get the job done.
• Never operate the blower unless it is properly assembled
and in good working condition.
• Never operate the blower without a properly functioning
muffler and spark arrestor installed.
Use of the petrol blower
• The GMC petrol blower can efficiently move a wide
variety of debris ranging from grass clippings to gravel.
As a general rule try to operate the blower at the lowers
throttle setting necessary to get the job done.
• Prior to use of the blower ensure you have read and
understood this instruction manual.
• Ensure you are wearing suitable clothing and also safety
equipment like safety glasses, ear protection and a mask
if necessary.
• Keep a gap between the air intake and clothing and body
parts as this will reduce the performance and may result
in injury.
