Moving The Machine From The Job Site; The Nozzle-Position Gauge; Operating Tips - Toro Pro Force 44553 Operator's Manual

Moving the Machine from
the Job Site
Important:
Raise the blower nozzle before
moving the machine from the job site. If you leave
the blower nozzle in the down position during
transport, the nozzle may contact the ground, and
become damaged.

The Nozzle-Position Gauge

The nozzle-position gauge
behind the turbine housing, above the fuel tank.
Note:
The decal on the nozzle-position gauge
indicates the position of the nozzle relative to the
ground.

There is a red pointer and a green pointer
attached to the blower nozzle.
Nozzle Alignment
•
When the red pointer is visible in the nozzle
position gauge, the blower nozzle is aligned to
blow to the right of the machine.
•
When the green pointer is visible in the nozzle
position gauge, the blower nozzle is aligned to
blow to the left of the machine.

Nozzle Angle
The pointer and gauge indicate the blower nozzle
angle as follows:
•
When the pointer is in the same colored region on
the decal, that indicates that the chute opening is
positioned more parallel to the ground.
•
When a pointer tab is in the different colored
region on the decal, that indicates that the chute
opening is positioned more toward the ground.

Operating Tips

•
Practice operating the blower. Blow the same
direction that the wind blows to prevent material
from blowing back into the cleared area.
•
When blowing debris from a job site, run the
engine at full throttle.
•
Adjust the blower nozzle position so that the
airstream blows under the debris.
•
Use caution when blowing around newly planted
sod; the airstream could disrupt the grass.
