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.
�� 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.
�� 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 12.
The cruise control (throttle lock) can be used to operate the blower without continuously holding the throttle trigger.
To engage the cruise control:
� For full throttle, depress the throttle trigger fully and slide
the cruise control selector as far forward as possible.
To reduce engine speed, slide the cruise control selector toward the back of the blower until the desired speed is reached.
To release cruise control, return the selector to the idle position.
