With a little time and experience, an operator can be-
come proficient in setting the deflectors at the opti-
mum positions for the task.
HINT: From the operators position, the user can see
the left deflector gear rack and judge the position of
the deflectors.
With the deflectors at about half open, like the front
deflector in the above photo, the air stream is directed
downward under the debris and is useful for blowing
wet leaves, grass and dirt.
For moving large piles of debris, remove the halfway
pin allowing deflectors to open fully for maximum air
flow.
REMEMBER: Air velocity can be controlled by the
throttle control as well as by the deflectors.
REMEMBER: Air stream (deflectors) should be
closed off when necessary (ie., when traveling from
one area to another, past flower and bark beds, etc.).
