Blower Operating Procedures

Hold the blower as shown in Figures 15, 16 and 17. Sweep from side to side with the nozzle several inches above the ground or floor. Slowly advance the unit, keeping the accumulated pile of debris in front of you.

Most dry blowing operations are better suited to low speeds, rather than high. High speed blowing is a better way to move heavier items like large debris or gravel.

1Use the blower for trees, shrubs, flower beds and hard-to-clean areas (Fig. 15).

2.Use the unit around buildings and for other normal cleaning procedures (Fig. 16).

3.Use the blower around walls, overhangs, fences and screens (Fig. 17).
