WARNING
Do not allow familiarity with the product to make
you careless. Remember that a careless fraction
of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
OPERATING THE BLOWER
Slip arm through harness strap and onto shoulder,
■
then repeat for the other shoulder. Adjust the straps
to a comfortable position. Refer to "Adjusting Harness
Straps" earlier in this manual. Then remove unit for
starting.
Start the blower. Refer to "Starting and Stopping"
■
earlier in this manual.
Put on the blower again. The unit should be operated
■
from the right side.
To keep from scattering debris, blow around the outer
■
edges of a debris pile. Never blow directly into the
center of a pile.
To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of
■
equipment used at any one time.
Operate blower at the lowest possible throttle speed
■
to do the job.
Check your equipment before operation, especially
■
the muffler, air intakes, and air filters.
Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before
■
blowing. In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces
when water is available.
Watch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly
■
washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
Use the nozzle for larger volume, so the air stream
■
can work close to the ground.
After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP!
■
Dispose of debris properly.

Before inspecting, cleaning, or servicing the
machine, shut off engine, wait for all moving parts
to stop, and disconnect spark plug wire and move
it away from spark plug. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in serious personal injury or
property damage.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleumbased products, penetrating oils, etc.,
come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may
result in serious personal injury.
REPLACING AND CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
(Fig. 4)
A wet or dirty air filter can affect the way the engine
starts, performs, and wears. The air filter should be
checked and cleaned after 8 hours of operation.
For best performance, the air filter should be replaced
once each year.
To clean the air filter(22):
Loosen the knob(23) on the air filter cover.
■
Remove the cover(21).
■
Lift the edge of the air filter carefully and peel it out.
■
Wash the air filter with warm, soapy water.
■
Rinse and squeeze to dry.
■
Reinstall the air filter.
■
NOTE: Make sure the filter is seated properly inside
the cover. Installing the filter incorrectly will allow dirt
to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear.
Reinstall the cover.
■
Tighten knob to secure.
