OPERATION PB-255LN

Operating Blower

Engine exhaust IS HOT, and contains Carbon Monoxide (CO), a poison gas. Breathing CO can cause unconsciousness, serious injury, or death. Exhaust can cause serious burns. ALWAYS position unit so that exhaust is directed away from your face and body.

Always wear safety glasses, hearing protection and a face filter mask or serious personal injury may result. Do not point the blower pipe in the direction of people or pets.

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.

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

3.Control engine speed with throttle trigger (F), or for continuous use, set engine speed with throttle position lever (B). Rotate throttle position lever forward for lower speed, back for higher speed.

4.Use lower speed to blow debris from hard surfaces.

5.Additional speed may be necessary to clean debris, snow, etc. from lawns and flowerbeds.

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.
