Homelite ZR08107 manual Cruise Control Throttle Lock, Vacuum Operation

Page 13

OPERATION

Operate blower at the lowest possible throttle speed to do the job.

Check your equipment before operation, especially the muffler, air intakes and air filters.

Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.

In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces when water is available.

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.

Watch out for children, pets, open windows or freshly washed cars, and blow debris safely away.

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

After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris in trash receptacles.

Use the wide sweeper nozzle for the everyday blowing operation. This nozzle allows for more area to be covered during the blowing operation. See Figure 10.

The high velocity nozzle is great for wet sticky leaves. It allows you to scrape wet leaves or debris while operating the blower. See Figure 10.
