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 contacting rotat-
ing parts, stop the engine before installing or removing
attachments. Never take off the Guard Net <B>.
Always disconnect the spark plug before performing main-
tenance 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 near-
est Husqvarna servicing dealer for assistance. Checking
the fan is very important. If the rotating fan should break up,
it
might lead to serious accidents.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. The blower must not be used while on
a ladder or scaffolding.
5. Never put the machine down with the
engine running unless you have it in
clear sight.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. After using blowers and other equipment, CLEAN UP!
Dispose of debris in trash receptacles.
