OPERATION
nOperate blower at the lowest possible throttle speed to do the job.
�n Check the equipment before operation, especially the muffler, air intakes, and air filters.
�n Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
�n In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces when water is available.
�n 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.
�n Watch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
�n Use the full blower nozzle extension so the air stream can work close to the ground.
�n After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris in trash receptacles.
�n Use the wide sweeper nozzle for the everyday blowing operation. This nozzle allows for more area to be covered during the blowing operation.
�n The high velocity nozzle is great for wet sticky leaves. It allows you to scrape wet leaves or debris while operating the blower.
CRUISE CONTROL (THROTTLE LOCK)
See Figure 11.
The Cruze Control™ (throttle lock) can be used to operate the blower without holding the throttle trigger.
TO ENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL (THROTTLE LOCK):
nTurn the Cruze Control™ knob clockwise, toward the back of the blower, and stop at the desired throttle setting.
nTo release the Cruze Control™, depress and release the throttle trigger.
VACUUM OPERATION
See Figure 12.
nInstall the vacuum tubes and bag; refer to Installing the Vacuum Bag and Installing the Vacuum Tubes.
�n Start the blower; refer to Starting and Stopping.
�n Place the leaf bag strap over your head and onto your left shoulder. Hold the upper handle in your right hand and the lower handle in your left hand.
�n Move the blower from side to side along outer edge of the debris. To avoid clogging, do not place the vacuum tube directly into the debris pile.
