OPERATING THE BLOWER

See Figures 8 - 9.

WARNING:

Never run the unit without the blower tubes installed or the vacuum door securely closed. Use of an improperly assembled unit could result in serious personal injury.

Start the blower. Refer to Starting and Stopping earlier in this manual. Hold the blower with the upper handle in your right hand.

WARNING:

Always hold the blower away from your body with the handle in your right hand when operating as a blower, keeping clearance between your body and the product. The muffler side of the blower should be away from your body. Any contact with the housing can result in burns and/or other serious personal injury.

WARNING:

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.

Hold blower, as shown in Figure 9, so the air stream can work close to the ground.

After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris properly.

Use the sweeper nozzle for the everyday blowing opera- tion. This nozzle allows for more area to be covered during the blowing operation.

The high velocity nozzle is specifically designed for wet sticky leaves. It allows you to scrape wet leaves or debris while operating the blower.

Cruise control

See Figure 10.

The cruise control can be used to operate the blower without holding the throttle trigger.

To engage the cruise control:

Pull cruise control lever back towards user, and stop at the desired throttle setting.

To release the cruise control, push cruise control lever all the way towards the front of unit.

VACUUM OPERATION

See Figure 11.

WARNING:

Do not place blower on top of or near loose debris or gravel. Debris may be sucked into blower intake vent resulting in possible damage to the unit and could result in serious personal injury.

To keep from scattering debris, blow around the outer edges of a debris pile. Never blow directly into the center of a pile.

Operate power equipment at reasonable hours only - not early in the morning or late at night when people might be disturbed. Comply with the times listed in local ordi- nances.

To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of equipment used at any one time.

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.

Never run the unit without the vacuum tubes and vacuum bag installed. Use of an improperly assembled unit could result in serious personal injury.

WARNING:

Keep the muffler and all hot surfaces of the blower/vacuum away from your body. Failure to do so could result in possible serious personal injury.

Install the vacuum tubes and the bag. Refer to the As- sembly section earlier in this manual.

Start the blower. Refer to Starting and Stopping earlier in this manual.

Place the vacuum bag strap over your right shoulder. Hold the upper handle in your left hand and the vacuum handle in your right hand.
