Safety Precautions

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

Each time before starting the engine, inspect the entire unit to see if every part is in good order and is securely tightened in place. If any damage is found in the fuel line, the exhaust line, or the ignition wiring, do not use the blower until it has been repaired.

IMPORTANT

Before starting operation, always make sure to check if any obstacles are left inside the volute case and net. The obstacles may cause serious injury or damage to fan and volute case.

WARNING

Check to see if the shock-absorbers <A> have become cracked or otherwise damaged. Note that failing to replace these rubber and spring mounts when they have become cracked or damaged may cause the engine to come loose from its frame during use, thus resulting in possible serious bodily injury.

If cracked, be sure to replace without delay.

USING THE PRODUCT

WARNING

While using the product, if abnormal noise or vibration occurs, stop the engine immediately and contact the nearest Husqvarna servicing dealer for assistance. Checking the fan is very important. If the rotating fan should break up, it will lead to serious accidents.

1.This blower is a backpack type, and is shouldered while operating. It is operated and controlled with the handle on the tube by right hand.

2.Check the work area that the blower will be used in and remove or cover all valuables that may be damaged by the air blast or thrown debris.

3.Make sure you can move and

stand safely. Check the area around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks, branches, ditches, etc.) in case you have to move suddenly. Take great care when working on sloping ground.

4.To reduce the risk of injury associated with thrown objects.

a)Watch out for children, pets, open windows or freshly washed cars, and blow debris safely away.

b)Use the full blower tube extension so the air stream can work close to the ground.

c)Do not allow bystanders in work area.

d)Do not point the blower tube in the

direction of people or pets.

e) Always check to be sure that no

debris has been

blown onto someone else’s property.

f)Pay attention to the direction of the wind, do not work against the wind.

5.To minimize blowing time.

a)Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.

b)In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces or use a mister attachment when water is available.

c)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.

6.The blower must not be used while on a ladder or scaffolding.

7.Never put the machine down with the engine running unless you have it in clear sight.

8.Never touch the spark plug or plug cord while the engine is in operation. Doing so may result in being subjected to an electrical shock.

9.Never touch the muffler, spark plug, or other metallic parts of the engine, or area around the engine cover while the engine is in operation or

immediately after shutting down the engine. These metallic parts reach high temperatures during operation and doing so could result in serious burns.

WARNING

The temperature of the machine may increase after stopping the engine. Especially never forget to cool down the engine before refueling the machine.

10.If the engine catches fire or in any other emergency situation that requires you to free yourself from the machine, open the buckle in the waist belt and drop the machine backward.
