OPERATION
Check your equipment before operation, especially
■
the muffler, air intakes and air filters.
Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
■
In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces when
■
water is available.
Conserve water by using power blowers instead of
■
hoses for many lawn and garden applications,
including areas such as gutters, screens, patios,
grills, porches and gardens.
Watch out for children, pets, open windows or freshly
■
washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
Use the full blower nozzle extension so the air stream
■
can work close to the ground.
After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP!
■
Dispose of debris in trash receptacles.
The wide sweeper nozzle allows for large areas to be
■
covered during blowing operation.
CRUISE CONTROL (THROTTLE LOCK) (Fig. 1)
The cruise control (throttle lock) (5) can be used to
operate the blower without continuously holding the
throttle trigger (6).
To engage the cruise control:
For full throttle, depress the throttle trigger fully and
■
slide the cruise control selector as far forward as
possible.
To reduce engine speed, slide the cruise control
■
selector toward the back of the blower until the
desired speed is reached.
To release the cruise control, return the cruise control
■
selector to the off position.
VACUUM OPERATION (Fig. 9)
Install the vacuum tubes and bag, refer to "Installing
■
the Vacuum Bag" and "Installing the Vacuum Tubes"
earlier in this manual.
Start the blower, refer to "Starting and Stopping"
■
earlier in this manual.
Place the leaf bag strap over the head and onto the
■
left shoulder. Hold the upper handle in your right hand
and the lower handle in your left hand.
Move the blower from side to side along outer edge of
■
the debris. To avoid clogging, do not place the
vacuum tube directly into the debris pile.
Hold the engine higher than the inlet end of the
■
vacuum tube.
Always point vacuum tube downhill when working on
■
a hillside.

To avoid injury to the operator or unit, do not pick up
■
rocks, broken glass, bottles, or other similar objects.
If the vacuum tubes should clog, stop the engine and
■
disconnect the spark plug wire before cleaning out
the obstruction.
Remove the vacuum tubes and clear the debris from
■
the blower fan housing. Remove the bag and clear
the tube. A small rod or stick may be required to clear
the entire tube length. Ensure that all debris has been
cleared before reassembling the vacuum tubes.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
When servicing, use only identical Homelite
replacement parts. Use of any other parts may
create a hazard or cause product damage
WARNING
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses
with side shields during power tool operation or
when blowing dust. If operation is dusty,
also wear a dust mask.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleumbased products, penetrating oils, etc.,
come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may
result in serious personal injury.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a
sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the
unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore,
no further lubrication is required.
REPLACING AND CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
(Fig. 5)
For proper performance and long life, keep the air filter
(13) clean.
Push down on the latch (15) of the air filter cover;
■
carefully pull the top of the air filter cover so it pivots
away from the base.
Remove the air filter and clean it in warm soapy
■
water. Rinse and let dry completely.
