Muffler

The muffler is designed to give the lowest possible noise level and to direct the en- gine’s exhaust fumes away from the opera- tor. Mufflers fitted with catalytic converters are also designed to reduce harmful ex- haust components.

WARNING: The exhaust fumes from the engine are hot and may contain sparks which can start a fire. Never start the machine indoors or near flammable material!

WARNING: Mufflers fitted with catalytic converters become extreme- ly hot during use and after stopping. This also applies at idling speeds. Contact can result in burns to the skin. Be aware of the risk of fire!

Safety equipment

WARNING: The blower must never be used if any of the safety devices or guards are missing, damaged or not in working order.

The blower is equipped with a number of safety devices and guards for the preven- tion of accidents. These are described in the general description of the blower.

The safety devices and guards also require regular inspection and maintenance. These measures and the interval at which they should be carried out are specified in the Maintenance section.

Safety while operating the blower

SDo not allow bystanders or animals to be in the work area, i.e. 50 feet (15 meters) from the operator.

SThe blower may throw objects at high velocity that can ricochet and hit the opera-

tor. This may cause serious eye damage.

SNever point the blower nozzle toward people or animals.

SStop the engine before fitting or disman- tling accessories or other components.

SNever operate the blower if any of the guards are missing.

SNever operate the blower in poorly venti-

lated spaces where exhaust fumes might otherwise be inhaled.

SThe catalytic muffler is extremely hot while the blower is running and after it has stopped. The same applies when the blower is running at idling speed. Be aware of the danger of fire, especially while operating the blower near flam- mable materials and/or where flammable fumes are present.
