!Warning!
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do
not direct air blast towards bystanders,
since the high pressure of the air flow
could injure eyes and could blow small
objects at great speed.
!Warning!
Always shut off the engine before
cleaning or servicing the unit or
replacing parts.
!Warning!
The blower fan between the air intake
and output openings rotates whenever
the engine is running.
Never insert any foreign object into the
air intake of the machine or into the
nozzle of the blower. It will damage the
fan wheel and may cause serious injury
to the operator or bystanders as a result
of the object or broken parts being
thrown out at high speed.
Do not place the blower on the ground
when operating at high speed, because
small objects such as sand, grass, dust,
etc. may be pulled into the air intake and
damage the fan wheel.
To reduce the risk of stumbling and loss
of control,do not walk backward while
operating the machine.
In an emergency, you may slip out of the
harness and throw off the machine
quickly. Try this procedure a number of
times before using the machine in order
to become accustomed with it.
Pay attention to the direction of the wind,
i.e., do not work against the wind.
Operating Instructions
The blower may be used only for the
operations described in your manual.
