OPERATING THE BLOWER
See Figures 11 - 12.
WARNING:
Never run the unit without the blower tubes installed or
the vacuum door securely closed. Failure to heed this
warning could result in serious personal injury.
Start the blower. Refer to Starting and Stopping earlier
in this manual. Hold the blower with the upper handle in
your right hand.
WARNING:
Keep away from all hot surfaces of the blower. Failure to
do so could result in possible serious personal injury.
To keep from scattering debris, blow around the outer
edges of a debris pile. Never blow directly into the center
of a pile.
Operate power equipment at reasonable hours only - not
early in the morning or late at night when people might
be disturbed. Comply with the times listed in local ordi-
nances.
To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of
equipment used at any one time.
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.
Operate blower at the lowest possible throttle speed to
do the job.
Check your equipment before operation, especially the
muffler, air intakes, and air filters.
Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces when water
is available.
Watch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly
washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
Use the full blower nozzle extension so the air stream can
work close to the ground.
After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP!
Dispose of debris properly.
Use the sweeper nozzle for the everyday blowing opera-
tion. This nozzle allows for more area to be covered during
the blowing operation.
The high velocity nozzle is specifically designed for wet
sticky leaves. It allows you to scrape wet leaves or debris
while operating the blower.
