USING THE BLOWER

THINK SAFETY!

OPERATING TIPS

In the hands of an experienced opera- tor, the EB501 can efficiently move a wide variety of debris ranging from grass clippings to gravel. As a general rule, operate your EB501 at the lowest throttle setting required to get the job done:

nUse low throttle settings when clearing lightweight materials from around lawns or shrubbery.

nUse medium to higher throttle set- tings to move grass or leaves from parking lots or walkways.

nUse full throttle when moving heavy loads such as dirt or snow.

IMPORTANT!

Blower noise increases at higher throttle settings! Always use the low- est throttle setting required to get the job done!

Wear close-fitting clothing to protect your legs and arms, and Do not wear clothing or jewelry that could get caught in machinery! Secure hair so that it is above shoulder length!
