Assembling The Blower - Stihl BGE 61 Instruction Manual

English
NOTICE
Vacuuming abrasive material (such as
grit, stone chips, etc.) causes the blower
wheel and blower housing to wear at a
rapid rate. This results in a considerable
loss of suction power. In such a case
you should contact your dealer. STIHL
recommends a STIHL servicing dealer.
Take particular care when vacuuming
wet leaves since they may block the
blower wheel and elbow.
Watch out for small animals when
vacuuming in open areas, yards and
gardens.
