OPERATING BLOWER

WARNING
Always wear safety glasses, hearing protection, a face filter mask,
and take all safety precautions, 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 opening.
1. Use only during appropriate hours.
2. Allow the engine to warm up at a fast idle for a few minutes.
3. Use lower speed to blow dry leaves from a lawn or flower bed.
4. Additional speed may be necessary to clean grass and leaves from
walks, patios and drives.
5. Higher speed may be necessary to move gravel, dirt, snow, bottles
or cans from a driveway, street, parking lot or stadium.
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 and by dampening
material with water/mist when necessary. Keep debris on your
property.
Be Smart - be a good neighbor.
