SAFETY
_,WARNING:
Inspect area before

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-

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

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.
