BLOWER OPERATION
When the engine has warmed-up, the power blower can be positioned on the back of the operator.
When the power blower is positioned and ready for operation, adjust the throttle to a speed
required to accomplish the task.
WARNING
• Never operate a power blower when you are fatigued.
• Never operate a power blower without proper guards or other protective safety devices in place.
WARNING
To prevent overheating and engine seizure, cooling air comes from the intake grille of the fan
housing and is pushed by the blower fan through an opening in the fan housing over the cylinder fin
area, taking away combustion heat. The grille and cylinder fins must be kept clean of grass, dust
and any debris. Engine failure due to lack of this "Normal Maintenance" is not covered by warranty.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Always run the engine at idle speed for a few minutes to allow cooling before stopping. To stop the
engine, move the throttle control lever all the way to the engine stop position.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE
Before each use, the power blower should be inspected for proper assembly and fitness of all
components. All fasteners should be checked for correct tightness. Always inspect for fuel leaks.
WARNING
Do not attempt to start or operate a power blower that indicates a fuel leak.
AIR FILTER
The air filter should be inspected each time the
power blower is used (or more often with extreme
conditions).
To inspect, remove the air filter cover and remove
the filter from the case.
Clean air filter(s) by gently tapping element or
cleaning with a suitabe solvent the filter should be
completely dry before using again.
