Operating Blower
Engine exhaust IS HOT, and contains Carbon Monoxide (CO), a
poison gas. Breathing CO can cause unconsciousness, serious
injury, or death. Exhaust can cause serious burns. ALWAYS
position unit so that exhaust is directed away from your face
and body.
Always wear safety glasses, hearing protection and a face filter
mask or serious personal injury may result. Do not point the
blower pipe in the direction of people or pets.
Use reduced speed only when performing light-duty tasks or to
comply with local noise regulations. Continuous low speed operation
may allow fuel/oil residue to build-up on the piston and cause rapid
build-up of carbon on the spark arrester screen, resulting in
overheating and engine damage. To reduce harmful build-up, run
engine at wide open throttle for at least 5 minutes every hour, and
inspect/clean the spark arrester screen after approximately 40 hours
of operation.
