SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Move the machine at least 3 m from the refuelling point
before starting it.
• Never start the machine:
- If you have spilt fuel on it. Wipe off the spillage and
allow remaining fuel to evaporate.
- If you have spilt fuel on yourself or your clothes,
change your clothes. Wash any part of your body that
has come in contact with fuel. Use soap and water.
- If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for leaks
from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
Transport and storage
• Store and transport the machine and fuel so that there is
no risk of any leakage or fumes coming into contact with
sparks or naked flames, for example, from electrical
machinery, electric motors, electrical relays/switches or
boilers.
• When storing and transporting fuel always use approved
containers intended for this purpose.
• When storing the machine for long periods the fuel tank
must be emptied. Contact your local petrol station to find
out where to dispose of excess fuel.
• Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a complete
service is carried out before long-term storage.
Adjusting the harness
Quick release
(141B, 155B, 165BT)
At the front is an easily accessible, quick release. Use this if
the engine catches fire or in any other emergency situation
that requires you to free yourself from the machine and
harness.
• Pull out the red strap.
• The hip strap and one shoulder strap will then be
automatically released at the same time and the harness
and engine unit will slide to the ground.
Spreading the load on your shoulders
A well-adjusted harness and machine makes work much
easier. Adjust the harness for the best working position.
Tension the side straps so that the weight is evenly distributed
across both shoulders.
General working instructions
Show consideration to persons in your surroundings by
avoiding using the machine at unsuitable times, such as late
in the evening or early in the morning. Read through and
follow the simple directions so that you disturb your
surroundings as little as possible.
• Use the blower with the lowest possible throttle. It is
seldom necessary to use full throttle, and many work
procedures can be done at half throttle. A lower throttle
means less noise and less dust, and it is also easier to
keep control over the rubbish collected together/moved.
!
WARNING! Take care when handling fuel.
Bear in mind the risk of fire, explosion and
inhaling fumes.
!
WARNING! The harness must always be
worn when working with the machine.
Failure to do so means you will be unable to
manoeuvre safely and this can result in
injury to yourself or others. Never wear a
harness with a defective quick release.
IMPORTANT! This section considers basic safety rules
when working with blowers. If you encounter a situation
where you are uncertain how to proceed you should ask an
expert. Contact your dealer or your service workshop. Avoid
all usage which you consider to be beyond your capability.
