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.
In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces when
water is available.
Conserve water by using power blowers instead of hoses
for many lawn and garden applications, including areas
such as gutters, screens, patios, grills, porches and
gardens.
Watch out for children, pets, open windows or freshly
washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
Use the full blower nozzle extension so the air stream
can work close to the ground.
After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP!
Dispose of debris in trash receptacles.
Use the wide sweeper nozzle for the everyday blowing
operation. This nozzle allows for more area to be
covered during the blowing operation.
See Figure 10.
The high velocity nozzle is great for wet sticky leaves. It
allows you to scrape wet leaves or debris while operating
the blower.
See Figure 10.
CRUISE CONTROL (THROTTLE LOCK)
The cruise control (throttle lock) can be used to operate the
blower without holding the throttle trigger.
TO ENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL (Throttle Lock):
See Figure 11.
1. Turn the Cruise control knob clockwise, toward the back
of the blower, and stop at the desired throttle setting.
2. To release the Cruise control, depress and release the
throttle trigger.
VACUUM OPERATION
See Figure 12.
Install the vacuum tubes and bag, refer to “Installing the
Vacuum Bag” and “Installing the Vacuum Tubes” earlier
in this manual.
Start the blower, refer to “Starting and Stopping” earlier in
this manual.
Place the leaf bag strap over the head and onto the left
shoulder. Hold the upper handle in your right hand and
the lower handle in your left hand.
Move the blower from side to side along outer edge of
the debris. To avoid clogging, do not place the vacuum
tube directly into the debris pile.
