WARNING
Keep away from all hot surfaces of the blower. Failure to
do so could result in possible serious personal injury.
OPERATING THE BLOWER
See Figure 8.
n Start the blower. Refer to “Starting and Stopping” earlier
in this manual. Slip arm through harness strap and onto
shoulder, then repeat for the other shoulder. Adjust the
straps to a comfortable position. Refer to “Adjusting Har-
ness Straps” earlier in this manual. Operate the blower
from the right side as shown in illustration.
n To keep from scattering debris, blow around the outer
edges of a debris pile. Never blow directly into the center
of a pile.
n To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of
equipment used at any one time.
n Operate blower at the lowest possible throttle speed to
do the job.
n Check your equipment before operation, especially the
muffler, air intakes and air filters.
n Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces when water
is available.
n 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.
n Watch out for children, pets, open windows or freshly
washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
n Use the nozzle for larger volume, so the air stream can
work close to the ground.
n After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP!
Dispose of debris properly.
