Throttle Control

IMPORTANT!

To avoid engine damage due to over-revving do not block blower pipe.

1.Use only during appropriate hours.

2.Control engine speed with throttle lever, or for continuous use, set en- gine speed with throttle lock lever.

3.Use lower speed to blow debris from hard surfaces. Additional speed may be necessary to clean debris, snow, etc. from lawns and flower- beds.

NOTE:

Never use a higher speed setting than necessary to perform a task. Re- member, the higher the engine speed, the louder the blower noise. Minimize dust by using blower at lower speeds. Keep debris on your property.

Be Smart - be a good neighbor.

Two-hand Operation

For added comfort and control, grip throttle control handle with left hand, and lower handle/stand with right hand.

Inspect the entire blower for loose, damaged, or missing components, and repair as necessary.
