DESCRIPTION
Safety equipment
The following equipment on the blower is designed for protecting personnel and materials. These com- ponents should receive special attention whenever you operate, inspect and service the blower.
Stop switch (3)
The stop switch is used to stop the engine.
Throttle lock (4)
The throttle lock prevents inadvertent activation of the throttle. When the throttle lock is pressed into the handle (when gripping the handle) the throttle trigger (2) is disengaged. When the operator releases his/her grip on the handle, both the throttle trigger and the throttle lock are reset to their original settings by means of two spring systems which work inde- pendently of one another.
Anti-vibration system (6)
The
Muffler(16)
The muffler is designed to give the lowest possible noise level and to direct the engine‘s exhaust fumes away from the operator. Muffler fitted with catalytic converter is also designed to reduce harmful exhaust components.
The engine exhaust fumes are hot and can contain sparks, which may cause fire if they come in contact with dry or combustible material.
Some blower models, esp. those sold in countries where the climate is dry, are equipped with spark- arresting mesh (A). This mesh must be cleaned or replaced at specific intervals. Check if your blower muffler has mesh of this type.
!WARNING!
The muffler is extremely hot while the engine is running and after it has stopped. DO NOT TOUCH THE MUFFLER IF IT IS HOT! This can cause severe burns.
