OPERATING THE BLOWER
See Figure 10.
Start the blower, refer to “Starting and Stopping” later in this
manual. Slip arm through harness strap and onto shoulder,
then repeat for the other shoulder. Adjust the straps to a
comfortable position, refer to “Adjusting Harness Straps”
earlier in this manual. Operate the blower from the right side
as shown in illustration.
To keep from scattering debris, blow around the outer edges
of a debris pile. Never blow directly into the center of a pile.
To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of
equipment used at any one time.
Operate blower at the lowest possible throttle speed to do
the job.
Check your equipment before operation, especially the
muffler, air intakes and air filters.
Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
