WARNING
Engine exhaust IS HOT, and contains Carbon Monoxide (CO),
a poison gas. Breathing CO can cause unconsciousness, serious
injury, or death. Exhaust can cause serious burns. ALWAYS blow
exhaust away from your face and body.
WARNING
Always wear safety glasses, hearing protection and a face filter
mask or serious personal injury may result. Do not point the blower
pipe in the direction of people or pets.
Read the Safety Section carefully.
IMPORTANT
To avoid engine damage due to over-revving, do not block blower
pipe.
1. Use only during appropriate hours.
2. Allow the engine to warm up at a fast idle for a few minutes.
3. Control engine speed with throttle trigger (F), or for continu-
ous use, set engine speed with throttle position lever (B). Rotate
throttle position lever forward for lower speed, back for higher
speed.
4. Use lower speed to blow debris from hard surfaces.
5. Additional speed may be necessary to clean debris, snow, etc.
from lawns and flowerbeds.
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.
