BEFORE STARTING THE
ENGINE
Each time before starting the engine, inspect the entire
unit to see if every part is in good order and is securely
tightened in place. If any damage is found in the fuel line,
the exhaust line, or the ignition wiring, do not use the
blower until it has been repaired.
IMPORTANT
Before starting operation, always make sure to
check if any obstacles are left inside the volute
case and net. The obstacles may cause serious
injury or damage to fan and volute case.
WARNING
Check to see if the shock-absorbers <A> have
become cracked or otherwise damaged. Note that
failing to replace these rubber and spring mounts
when they have become cracked or damaged may
cause the engine to come loose from its frame during
use, thus resulting in possible serious bodily injury.
If cracked, be sure to replace without delay.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury associated with contact-
ing rotating parts, stop the engine before installing
or removing attachments.
Never take off the Guard
Net <B>
.
Always disconnect the spark plug before performing
maintenance or accessing movable parts.
USING THE PRODUCT
WARNING
While using the product, if abnormal noise or
vibration occurs, stop the engine immediately and
contact the nearest Husqvarna servicing dealer
for assistance. Checking the fan is very important.
If the rotating fan should break up, it will lead to
serious accidents.
1. This blower is a backpack type, and is shouldered
while operating. It is operated and controlled with
the handle on the tube by right hand.
2. Check the work area that the blower will be used in and
remove or cover all valuables that may be damaged by
the air blast or thrown debris.
3. Make sure you can move and
stand safely. Check the area
around you for possible obstacles
(roots, rocks, branches, ditches,
etc.) in case you have to move
suddenly. Take great care when
working on sloping ground.
4. To reduce the risk of injury
associated with thrown objects.
a) Watch out for children, pets, open windows or
freshly washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
b) Use the full blower tube extension so the air stream
can work close to the ground.
c) Do not allow bystanders in work area.
d) Do not point the
blower tube in the
direction of people
or pets.
e) Always check to
be sure that no
debris has been
blown onto someone else’s property.
f) Pay attention to the direction of the wind, do not
work against the wind.
5. To minimize blowing time.
a) Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before
blowing.
b) In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces or
use a mister attachment when water is available.
c) 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.
6. The blower must not be used while
on a ladder or scaffolding.
7. Never put the machine down with
the engine running unless you have
it in clear sight.
8. Never touch the spark plug or plug
cord while the engine is in
operation. Doing so may result in
being subjected to an electrical
shock.
9. Never touch the muffler, spark plug,
or other metallic parts of the engine,
or area around the engine cover
while the engine is in operation or
immediately after shutting down the engine. These
metallic parts reach high temperatures during
operation and doing so could result in serious burns.
WARNING
The temperature of the machine may increase after
stopping the engine. Especially never forget to cool
down the engine before refueling the machine.
10. If the engine catches fire or in any other emergency
situation that requires you to free yourself from the
machine, open the buckle in the waist belt and drop the
machine backward.
11. After using blowers and other equipment, CLEAN UP!
Dispose of debris in trash receptacles.
