BLOWER/VACUUM
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 except
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 opening, 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.
• Check air intake opening,
blower
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.
