controlled.lever.for.constant.speed.use.
without.using.the.throttle.trigger..This.is.
useful.for.limiting.the.fatigue.caused.from.
holding.the.throttle.for.extended.periods.of.
time.
On.the.opposite.side,.a.two.position..

Operating Tips
In.the.hands.of.an.experienced.operator,.
the.EB510/EB3410.can.efficiently.move.
a.wide.variety.of.debris.ranging.from.grass.
clippings.to.gravel..As.a.general.rule,.
operate.your.blower.at.the.lowest.throttle.
setting.required.to.get.the.job.done:
n. Use.low.throttle.settings.when.clearing.
lightweight.materials.from.around.
lawns.or.shrubbery.
Throttle Limiter
The.EB510/EB3410.has.a.throttle.limiter.
function.that.allows.the.operator.to.pre-set.
the.maximum.engine.speed..This.is.use-
ful.for.reducing.the.noise.emitted.by.the.
blower.in.noise.sensitive.areas.
Setting Throttle Limiter:
For.reduced.noise.setting,.move.the.
throttle.limiter.located.on.the.right.side.of.
the.throttle.control.to.the.dB.setting..
