MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BLOWER OPERATIONS
1.
Use the blower for trees, shrubs, flower beds, and
hard-to-clean areas.
2.
Use the unit around buildings and for other normal
cleaning procedures.
3.
Use the blower around walls, overhangs, fences,
and screens.
4.
We recommend that a face mask be worn when
operating blower in dusty areas.
5.
Stand away from the debris, at a distance that will
easily allow you to control the direction of blown
debris. Never blow debris in direction of bystanders.
6.
To control velocity of airstream, blower can be
operated at any speed between idle and full throttle.
Experience with the unit will help you determine the
amount of airflow necessary for each application.
7.
Operate power equipment only at reasonable
hours--not early in the morning or late at night when
people might be disturbed. Comply with times listed
in local ordinances.
8.
To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of
equipment used at any one time.
9.
Operate power blowers at the lowest possible
throttle speed to do the job.
10. Check your equipment before operation, especially
the muffler, air intakes and air filters.
11. Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before
blowing.In dusty conditions, slightly dampen
surfaces when water is available.
12. 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.
13. Watch out for children, pets, open windows or
freshly washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
14. Use intermediate tube plus nozzle of your choice so
the airstream can work close to the ground.
15. After using blowers and other equipment, CLEAN
UP! Dispose of debris in trash receptacles.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Follow the instructions “STARTING A COLD
ENGINE”.
2.
Once unit is running, place unit on your back by
slipping arms through the shoulder straps as if your

3.
When preparing to clear an area of debris, always
position yourself so that you can control the direc-
tion debris will be blown .
4.
The control handle and the flexibility of the blower
tube assembly will allow you to clear the most hard-
to-reach areas. (Fig. 18)
5.
The hand grip, throttle trigger, throttle lock and igni-
tion on/off switch are all mounted on a swivel handle
that offers a wide range of operating positions and
comfort (Figure 19).
DO NOT operate the
blower with other
people or animals in the immediate vicinity.
Allow a minimum of 50 feet (15 meters)
between operator and other people or ani-
mals.

Because of flying
debris, always wear
American National Standards Institute
approved shielded safety glasses or face
shield when operating blower.
