GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach. Over-
reaching can result in loss of balance or exposure to hot
surfaces.
Never operate the unit without a spark arrestor screen;
this screen is located inside the muffler.
Product users on United States Forest Service land, and
in some states, must comply with fire prevention regu-
lations. This product is equipped with a spark arrestor;
however, other user requirements may apply. Check with
the federal, state, or local authorities in your area.
Before storing, allow the engine to cool.
Use only Ryobi replacement parts and accessories. Fail-
ure to do so may cause poor performance or possible
injury.
Maintain the unit per maintenance instructions in this
operator’s manual.
Inspect the unit before each use for loose fasteners, fuel
leaks, etc. Replace damaged parts.
Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, shut off the
engine and make certain all moving parts have stopped.
Disconnect the spark plug wire, and keep the wire away
from the plug to prevent starting.
Service on the blower/vacuum must be performed by
qualified repair personnel only. Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel could result in injury
to the user or damage to the product.
Use only identical replacement parts when servicing the
blower/vacuum. Use of unauthorized parts may create
a risk of serious injury to the user, or damage to the
product.
Do not use on a ladder, rooftop, tree, or other unstable
support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables better
control of the blower/vacuum in unexpected situations.
