THROTTLE LEVER
The throttle lever is used to select the desired
engine speed and to stop the engine. To stop
the throttle lever to the STOP engine, move
position and hold until engine stops running.--
PRIMER BULB
The PRIMER BULB removes air from the car-
buretor and fuel lines and fills them with fuel.
This allows you to start the engine with fewer
pulls on the starter rope. Activate the primer
bulb by pressing it and allowing it to return to
its original form.
CHOKE LEVER
The CHOKE helps to supply fuel to the engine
to aid in cold starting. The RUN position is
used for full speed operation. The HALF
CHOKE position is used for a brief initial
warm-up period.
OPERATING TIPS
° To reduce the risk of hearing loss
associated with sound level(s), hearing
protection is required.
° Operate power equipment only at reasonable
hours-not early in the morning or late at night
when people might be disturbed. Comply with
times listed in local ordinances. Usual recom-
mendations are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,
Monday though Saturday.
° To reduce noise levels, operate power
blowers at the lowest possible throttle
speed to do the job.

pieces of equipment used at any one time.
* Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris be-
fore blowing.
* In dusty conditions, slightly dampen sur-
faces when water is available.
* Conserve water by using power blowers
instead of hoses for many lawn and garden
applications, including areas such as gutters,
screens, patios, grills, porches, and gardens.
* Watch out for children, pets, open windows,
or freshly washed cars. Blow debris away
safely.
* Use the full blower tube extension so the air
