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