USING THE BLOWER

To blow away debris on the ground

Fitting the blower tube and nozzle on the blower

WARNING: When fitting the blow- er tube and nozzle, the engine must be switched off.

The blower tube (T) has a pegged slot mounting system to the unit. To install or remove the blower tube, the tube clamp bolt must be removed. Align slot in the blower air outlet with the raised rib on the tube and insert tube until the holes in the tube and housing align. Re--insert the tube clamp bolt and tighten.

T

The nozzles (U) have a bayonet mount for connection to the blower tube. Air is chan- neled through the blower tube to the nozzles, where the air discharge velocity increases and the air stream discharge pat- tern is formed to provide best performance. The length of the blower tube can be ad- justed by twisting the nozzle to the left to disengage the bayonet mount and sliding the nozzle to the appropriate position. Twist the nozzle to the right until a click is felt to re--secure the nozzle.

WARNING: When working with the blower, wear the required per- sonal safety equipment:

1.Hearing protection.

2.Eye protection.

3.Protective gloves.

WARNING: Never point the blower nozzle at people or animals. The high-velocity air stream can contain particles that may cause serious injury, especially if the blower has previously been used for vacuuming. Be careful, particularly if left hand operation is applied. Avoid any di- rect body contact with inlet cover area. Keep jewelry, loose clothing, or clothing with loosely hanging straps, ties, tassels, etc., away from inlet cover area.
