IMPORTANT!
To avoid engine damage due to over-revving do not block blower pipe.
1. Use only during appropriate hours.
2. Control engine speed with throttle lever, or for continuous use, set en-
gine speed with throttle lock lever.
3. Use lower speed to blow debris from hard surfaces. Additional speed
may be necessary to clean debris, snow, etc. from lawns and ower-
beds.
Note:
Never use a higher speed setting than necessary to perform a task. Re-
member, the higher the engine speed, the louder the blower noise. Mini-
mize dust by using blower at lower speeds. Keep debris on your property.
Be Smart - be a good neighbor.
Two-hand Operation
For added comfort and control, grip throttle control handle with left hand, and
lower handle/stand with right hand.
