OPERATION
".
OPERATING THE BLOWER
See Figures 10 - 11.
WARNING:
Never run the unit without the blower tubes installed and
the vacuum door securely closed. Use of an improperly
assembled unit could result in serious personal injury.
NOTICE:
Always operate your product in compliance with all
applicable laws and ordinances.
Start the blower. Refer to Starting and Stopping earlier
in this manual. Hold the blower with the upper handle in
your right hand.
WARNING:
Always hold the blower away from your body with the
handle in your right hand when operating as a blower,
keeping clearance between your body and the product.
The muffler side of the blower should be away from your
body. Any contact with the housing can result in burns
and/or other serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not place blower on top of or near loose debris or
gravel. Debris may be sucked into blower intake vent
resulting in possible damage to the unit and could result
in serious personal injury.
To keep from scattering debris, blow around the outer
edges of a debris pile. Never blow directly into the center
of a pile.
Operate power equipment at reasonable hours only - not
early in the morning or late at night when people might be
disturbed. Comply with the times listed in local ordinances.
To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of
equipment used at any one time.
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.
Operate blower at the lowest possible throttle speed to
do the job.
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.
Watch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly
washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
