Using The Blower

THINK SAFETY!
Operating tips
In the hands of an experienced opera-
tor, the EB500 can efficiently move a
wide variety of debris ranging from
grass clippings to gravel. As a general
rule, operate your EB500 at the lowest
throttle setting required to get the job
done:
Wear hearing protection
when operating the blower.
Never operate the
blower if any com-
ponent parts are
damaged, loose, or
missing!
Never operate the blower indoors.

n Use low throttle settings when
clearing lightweight materials from
around lawns or shrubbery.
n Use medium to higher throttle set-
tings to move grass or leaves from
parking lots or walkways.
n Use full throttle when moving heavy
loads such as dirt or snow.
IMPORTANT!
Blower noise increases at higher throttle
settings! Always use the lowest throttle
setting required to get the job done!
Wear eye protection such as a face
shield or goggles while operating this
machine!
Wear a dust mask to reduce the
risk of inhalation injuries.
Wear close-fitting clothing to protect your
legs and arms, and confine long hair that
might become caught or tangled in machin-
ery. Do not wear clothing or jewelry that
could get caught in machinery!
Always be aware of the
strength and direction
of the blower discharge
stream! Never direct the
blower discharge stream
toward people or animals!
Never operate the blower
when visibility is poor.
