Operating Tips
DANGER
Tip over can cause serious injury or death.
• Never operate on steep slopes.
• Operate on slopes up and down, never across
the face.
• When going uphill or downhill, do not stop or
start suddenly.
• Stay alert for holes in the terrain or other hidden
hazards. To avoid tipping or loss of control, do
not drive close to a ditch, creek or drop off.
• If the tow vehicle stops while going uphill, back
slowly downhill. Do not attempt to turn.

WARNING
Discharged air has considerable force and could
cause injury or loss of footing.
• Stay away from nozzle opening when machine is
operating.
• Keep bystanders away from nozzle opening
when machine is running.
•
Never operate the debris blower when it is not connected
to a tow vehicle.
•
Practice operating the blower. Blow the same direction
that the wind is blowing to prevent material from blowing
back into the cleared area.
•
Be alert, slow down, and use caution when making turns.
Look behind and to the side before changing directions.
•
Be aware of the blower nozzle direction and do not point
it at anyone.
•
Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees,
or other objects that may obscure vision.
•
Do not run the engine in or direct the blower nozzle into
a confined area without adequate ventilation. Exhaust
fumes are hazardous and could possibly be deadly.
•
Run the engine at full throttle when operating.
•
Adjust the nozzle opening so it blows under the debris.
•
Use caution when blowing around newly planted sod as
the force of the air could disrupt the grass.
•
Do not use the machine on highways.
•
If the tow vehicle engine stalls or the machine loses
headway and cannot make it to the top of a slope, do not
turn the machine around. Always back the tow vehicle
slowly straight down the slope.
•
Do not take an injury risk! When a person or pet
appears unexpectedly in or near the operating area, stop
operation. Careless operation, combined with terrain
angles, ricochets, or improperly positioned guards can
lead to thrown object injuries. Do not resume operation
until the area is cleared.
•
Do not exceed 32 km/h (20 mph) when transporting
blower.
•
Do not touch the engine or muffler while the engine is
running or soon after it is stopped. These areas could be
hot enough to cause a burn.
Important: Raise the nozzle before transporting the
blower. If the nozzle is left in the down position during
transport, the nozzle may contact the ground and
damage to the nozzle may occur.
