Operating Blower

Engine exhaust IS HOT, and contains Carbon Monoxide (CO), a poison gas. Breathing CO can cause
unconsciousness, serious injury, or death. Exhaust can cause serious burns. ALWAYS position
unit so that exhaust is directed away from your face and body.
Always wear safety glasses, hearing protection and a face filter mask or serious personal injury may
result. Do not point the blower pipe in the direction of people or pets.
Use reduced speed only when performing light-duty tasks or to comply with local noise regulations.
Continuous low speed operation may allow fuel/oil residue to build-up on the piston and cause rapid build-up
of carbon on the spark arrestor screen, resulting in overheating and engine damage. To reduce harmful
build-up, run engine at wide open throttle for at least 5 minutes every hour, and inspect/clean the spark
arrestor screen after approximately 40 hours of operation.
Read the Safety Section carefully.
To avoid engine damage due to over-revving, do not block blower pipe.
1. Use only during appropriate hours. Contact your local government for the ordinances affecting your area.
2. To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of equipment used at any one time.
3. Allow the engine to warm up at a fast idle for a few minutes.
4. PB-580 H

PB-580 T
Control engine speed with throttle trigger (B), or for
continuous use, set engine speed with throttle lever (A).
