TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
•
Conserve water by using the blower instead of a hose to
perform many outdoor cleaning actions.
•
Operate the unit 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. Usual recommendations are
9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
•
To reduce noise levels, operate the unit at the lowest speed
needed to do the job. Limit the number of pieces of power
equipment used at any one time.
•
Use rakes or brooms to loosen debris before operation.
•
In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces.
•
Use the cruise control to make continuous operation easier (Fig. 7).
•
Watch out for children, pets, open windows and freshly washed
cars. Blow debris safely away. Never direct the unit toward
anyone while the unit is in operation.
•
Sweep the unit from side to side with the blower tube several
inches above the ground. Slowly advance, keeping the
accumulated debris in front of the operator.
•
Use the nozzle to concentrate the air flow closer to the ground.
•
Use the nozzle to blow heavier items, such as wet leaves or wet
grass clippings.
•
Use the upper or lower blower tube to blow lighter items, such as
dry leaves or dry grass clippings.
•
Install the nozzle directly onto the upper blower tube when
blowing items at waist height, such as fences or walls.
•
Clean up after operation. Dispose of debris appropriately.
