Operation
Throttle control
1. Throttle position lever
1. Throttle limiter lever
1. Plug
2. Throttle limiter adjust-
ment
The blower is equipped with a multi-function throttle control.
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.
On the opposite side, a two position "Limiter" control allows full
engine speed when set for "Turbo" (A) or limits the throttle to
a pre-set engine speed when set to low noise "dB" (B) setting.
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.
Throttle Limiter
The blower has a throttle limiter function that allows the operator
to pre-set the maximum engine speed. This is useful 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.
Adjusting Throttle Limiter:
1. Remove the plug located at the top of the throttle assembly.
2. Move the throttle limiter lever to the "dB" (B)setting.
3. With the engine running and while depressing the throttle
trigger, use a small Phillips screw driver to turn the adjust-
ment screw clockwise to decrease r/min and anticlockwise
to increase until desired limited r/min is achieved.
4. Reinstall limiter adjustment plug.
NOTE
With the throttle limiter adjusted to 3,850 r/min, the blower will
have a sound level of 65 dB(A) measured at 15 m (50 feet).
