Operating blower

Always wear safety glasses, hearing protection, face filter mask and take all safety precautions or serious personal in-
jury may result. Do not point the blower pipe in the direction of people or pets.
IMPORTANT
To avoid engine damage due to over revving, do not block blower pipe opening.
NOTE
Never use a higher speed setting than necessary to perform a task. Remember, the higher the engine speed, the louder the
blower noise. Minimize dust by using blower at lower speeds. Keep debris on your property. Be Smart - be a good neighbor.

Operation
Read the Safety Section carefully.
1. Use only during appropriate hours.
2. Allow the engine to warm up by pressing the throttle midway
for a few minutes.
3. Control engine speed with throttle trigger, or for continuous
use, set engine speed with throttle position lever. Rotate
throttle position lever forward for lower speed, back for high-
er speed.
4. Use lower speed to blow dry grass and leaves from
walks,patios and drives.
5. Additional speed may be necessary to clean leaves from a
lawn or flowerbed.
6. Higher speed may be necessary to move gravel, dirt,
snow,bottles or cans from a driveway, street, parking lot or
stadium.
7. In case of conducting the work near the house, do not con-
duct the work near the opened window. There is the possi-
bility that the blown object comes into the inside of a house.
8. By using in the condition of the pipe being made long, it can
be done to blow the air effectively to the ground.
9. In case of the blown trash being stiff, if it is broken by the
rake etc. before the work, it is easily made to be blown off.
10. In case of the dust is blown off by the blown air, if the surface
of the ground and trash is a little bit wet, the dust is becoming
hard of being blown off.
11. Always stop unit using stop engine procedure.
The "Cruise" function allows the operator to use a throttle po-
sition lever for constant speed use without using the throttle
trigger. This is useful for limiting the fatigue caused from hold-
ing the throttle for extended periods of time.
Cruise Function
Using the right thumb, push the throttle position lever down until
the desired r/min setting is reached.
To bring RPM down to idle, push lever back up into original posi-
tion.
