OPERATION

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Use reduced speed only when performing light-duty tasks or to comply with local noise regulations. Continuous low speed operation may allow fuel/oil residue to build-up on the piston and cause rapid build-up of carbon on the spark arrestor screen, resulting in overheating and engine damage. To reduce harmful build-up, run engine at wide open throttle for at least 5 minutes every hour, and inspect/clean the spark arrestor screen after approximately 40 hours of operation.

Read the Safety Section carefully.

To avoid engine damage due to over-revving, do not block blower pipe.

1.

Use only during appropriate hours.

A

2.

Allow the engine to warm up at a fast idle for a few minutes.

 

3.

Set engine speed with throttle position lever (A).

 

4.

Use lower speed to blow dry grass and leaves from walks,

 

 

patios and drives.

 

5.

Additional speed may be necessary to clean leaves from a

 

 

lawn or flower bed.

 

 

 

 

 

6.

Higher speed may be necessary to move gravel, dirt, snow,

 

 

bottles or cans from a driveway, street, parking lot or stadium.

 

Note: Never use a higher speed setting than necessary to perform a task. Remember, the higher the engine speed, the louder the blower noise. Minimize dust by using blower at lower speeds. Keep debris on your property. Be Smart - be a good neighbor.
