THROTTLE LEVER

The THROTTLE LEVER is used to select the desired engine speed and to stop the engine.

Move the throttle lever to the

position for

full speed operation. Move the throttle lever

to the position for idle speed. To stop the engine, move the throttle lever to the STOP position.

PRIMER BUTTON

The PRIMER BUTTON removes air from the carburetor and fuel lines and fills them with fuel. This allows you to start the engine with fewer pulls on the starter rope. Activate primer button by pressing it and allowing it to return to its origi- nal position.

CHOKE LEVER

The CHOKE helps to supply fuel to the engine to aid in cold starting. Activate the choke by moving the choke lever to the FULL CHOKE position. After engine attempts to start, move the choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position. Once engine starts, move choke lever to the RUN position.

OPERATING TIPS

SWhile blowing debris, hold the unit with the muffler side facing away from your body and clothes (see OPERATING POSITION illustration above).

S To reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with sound level(s), hearing protection is required.

STo reduce the risk of injury associated with contacting rotating parts, stop the engine be- fore installing or removing attachments. Do not operate without guard(s) in place.

SOperate power equipment only at reasonable hours--not early in the morning or late at night when people might be disturbed. Comply with times listed in local ordinances. Usual recom-

mendations are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday though Saturday.

STo reduce noise levels, limit the number of pieces of equipment used at any one time.

S To reduce noise levels, operate power blowers at the lowest possible throttle speed to do the job.

SUse rakes and brooms to loosen debris be-

fore blowing.

S In dusty conditions, slightly dampen sur- faces or use a mister attachment when wa- ter is available.

S Conserve water by using power blowers instead of hoses for many lawn and garden applications, including areas such as gutters, screens, patios, grills, porches, and gardens.

SWatch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly washed cars. Blow debris away safely.

SUse the full blower nozzle extension so the air stream can work close to the ground.
