BLOWER/VACUUM SAFETY

WARNING: Inspect area before starting unit. Remove all debris and hard ob- jects such as rocks, glass, wire, etc. that can ricochet, be thrown, or otherwise cause injury or damage during operation.

S Do not set unit on any surface except a clean, hard area while engine is running. Debris such as gravel, sand, dust, grass, etc., could be picked up by the air intake and thrown out through discharge opening, damaging unit, property, or causing serious injury to bystanders or operator.

S Never place objects inside the blower tubes, vacuum tubes or blower outlet. Al- ways direct the blowing debris away from people, animals, glass, and solid objects such as trees, automobiles, walls, etc. The force of air can cause rocks, dirt, or sticks to be thrown or to ricochet which can hurt people or animals, break glass, or cause other damage.

S Never run unit without the proper equip- ment attached. When using your unit as a blower, always install blower tubes.

SCheck air intake opening, blower tubes or vacuum tubes frequently, always with en- gine stopped and spark plug disconnected. Keep vents and discharge tubes free of de-

bris which can accumulate and restrict proper air flow.

SNever place any object in air intake opening as this could restrict proper air flow and cause damage to the unit.

SNever use for spreading chemicals, fertiliz- ers, or other substances which may contain

toxic materials.

STo avoid spreading fire, do not use near leaf or brush fires, fireplaces, barbecue pits, ashtrays, etc.
