DESCRIPTION
Safety equipment
The following equipment on the blower is
designed for protecting personnel and
materials. These components should
receive special attention whenever you
operate, inspect and service the blower.
Stop switch
S The stop switch (A) is used to stop the
engine.
Muffler
S The muffler is designed to give the low-
est possible noise level and to direct the
engine’s exhaust fumes away from the
operator. Mufflers fitted with catalytic
converters are also designed to reduce
harmful exhaust components.
S The engine exhaust fumes are hot and
can contain sparks, which may cause
fire if they come in contact with dry or
flammable material.
S Some blower models, especially those
sold in countries where the climate is
dry, are equipped with a spark arresting
screen (B). This screen must be cleaned
or replaced at specific intervals. See the
Maintenance section.
