OPERATION METHOD
1. Adjusting Shoulder strap
Adjust the shoulder strap to a length that is comfortable to work while
carrying the blower.
Adjust as shown in the figure.
2. Adjusting the control lever
Move the control handle along the swivel pipe to the most comfortable
position.
3. Blower Operation
While operating the blower, adjust the throttle bar so that the wind force
is appropriate for the work location and conditions.
Low speed: Dried leaves and grass
High speed: Gravel and dirt
The cruise control lever allows the operator to maintain a constant
engine speed without operating the trigger lever.
Lifting the cruise control lever increases engine speed.
Lowering the cruise control lever decreases engine speed.
Adjusting engine speed when the cruise control lever is being used:
When increasing engine speed:
• Pull the trigger lever to increase engine speed. Engine speed returns
to its original setting when the trigger lever is released.
• Increasing the engine speed in this manner also increases the cruise
control setting. The cruise control lever lifts simultaneously as the
trigger lever is pulled, and the new cruise control setting will be main-
tained at the higher engine speed.
When reducing engine speed:
• Lower the cruise control lever to the low-speed position.
TRANSPORTING AND STORING THE BLOWER
Please maintain the blower in an upright position whenever transporting
or storing. (Refer to Figure at right.)
Transporting or storing in a position that is not upright may cause oil to
spill inside the blower engine. This may result in oil leaks and white
smoke from burning oil, and the air cleaner may become dirty with oil.
DANGER
• When transporting the blower, be sure to stop the engine.
