SAFETY
_WARNING:
Inspect area before
starting unit. Remove all debris and
hard objects such as rocks, glass,
wire, etc. that can ricochet, be thrown,
or otherwise cause injury or damage
during operation.
• Do not set unit on any surface ex-
cept a clean, hard area while engine
is running.
Debris such as gravel,
sand, dust, grass, etc., could be
picked up by the air intake and
thrown out through discharge open-
ing, damaging unit, property, or
causing serious injury to bystanders
or operator.
• Never place objects inside the blow-
er tubes, vacuum tubes or blower
outlet. Always direct the blowing de-
bris away from people, animals,
glass, and solid objects such as
trees, automobiles,
walls, etc. The
force of air can cause rocks, dirt, or
sticks to be thrown or to ricochet
which can hurt people or animals,
break glass, or cause other damage.
• Never run unit without the proper
equipment attached.
When using
your unit as a blower, always install
blower tubes.

tubes or vacuum tubes frequently,
always with engine stopped and
spark plug disconnected.
Keep
vents and discharge tubes free of
debris which can accumulate and
restrict proper air flow.
• Never place any object in air intake
opening as this could restrict proper
air flow and cause damage to the
unit.
• Never use for spreading chemicals,
fertilizers,
or other substances which
may contain toxic materials.
• To avoid spreading fire, do not use
near leaf or brush fires, fireplaces,
barbecue pits, ashtrays, etc.
