Work Area Precautions
• Never allow children to operate your blower. Only allow others
to use this blower who have read this Operator's Manual or
received adequate instructions for the safe and proper use of
this blower.
• Do not work near electrical wires or buildings.
• Work only when visibility and light are adequate for you to see
clearly.
• Do not work from a ladder, this is extremely dangerous.
Leave this operation for professionals.
• Stop the engine before setting the blower down.
• Be particularly cautious and alert while wearing hearing

protection because such equipment may restrict your ability to
hear sounds indicating danger (calls, signals, warnings, etc).

ground.

Starting The Engine

• Check that the throttle trigger (A, Fig.35) functions correctly
and the throttle limiter (B) is set to the minimum position.
• Prime the carburetor by slowly push the purge bulb 6 to 8
times (C, Fig.36).

• Turn the starter lever (F, Fig.38) to the "CLOSE" position.
• Pull throttle lever (B, Fig.37) and lock it in the half-throttle
position by pressing button (E), then release lever (B).
• Rest the blower on the ground in a stable position. While
holding the blower firmly (Fig.39), pull the starter rope hard a
few times until the engine starts (no more than five (5) pulls).
A new unit may require additional pull. When pulling the
starter rope, do not use the full extent of the rope as this can
cause the rope to break. Do not let starter rope snap back.
Hold the handle and let the rope rewind slowly.
• When the engine begins to turn, bring the choke lever (F,
Fig. 38) back to the original position «OPEN». Repeat the
39
procedure until the engine starts.
• Once the engine is running, press the throttle after 30-40
seconds (B, Fig.37) to release it from the half-throttle position
and let the engine idle.
