PUTTING ON AND TAKING OFF THE UNIT
Putting On the Unit
1. Place the shoulder supports over both shoulders. The engine
should rest securely on the operator's back.
2. Pull the shoulder support straps down to tighten the shoulder
supports (Fig. 11).
NOTE: Start the unit before putting it on. Refer to Starting and Stopping.
Taking Off the Unit
1. Pull the tabs on the bottom of the shoulder support buckles up
to loosen the shoulder supports (Fig. 12).
2. Remove the unit.
HOLDING THE UNIT
•
Stand in the operating position (Fig. 13). Stand up straight. Do
not bend over.
•
Keep feet apart and firmly planted.
•
Hold the throttle grip with the right hand. Keep the right arm
slightly bent.
•
Make sure the unit is secure and comfortable on the operator's
back.
TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
•
Conserve water by using the blower instead of a hose to
perform many outdoor cleaning actions.
•
Operate the unit only at reasonable hours, not early in the morning
or late at night when people might be disturbed. Comply with
times listed in local ordinances. Usual recommendations are 9:00
a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
•
To reduce noise levels, operate the unit at the lowest speed
needed to do the job. Limit the number of pieces of power
equipment used at any one time.
•
Use rakes or brooms to loosen debris before operation.
•
In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces.
•
Watch out for children, pets, open windows and freshly washed
cars. Blow debris safely away. Never direct the unit toward
anyone while the unit is in operation.
•
Use the nozzle to concentrate the air stream closer to the ground.
•
Use the cruise control to make continuous operation easier (Fig. 7).
•
Clean up after operation. Dispose of debris appropriately.
•
Sweep the unit from side to side with the blower tube several
inches above the ground. Slowly advance, keeping the
accumulated debris in front of the operator.
