of injury at a rate for which it was designed.

• Do not overreach or use from unstable surfaces such as ladders,

trees, steep slopes, rooftops, etc. Always keep proper footing and
balance.

• Always hold the unit with a firm grip when operating.
• Keep hands, face, and feet away from all moving parts. Do not

touch or try to stop the impeller when it is rotating. Do not operate
without guards in place.

• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening

blocked; keep free of dirt, debris, and anything that may reduce
the air flow.

• Do not touch the engine or muffler. These parts get extremely hot

from operation, even after the unit is turned off.

• Do not operate the engine faster than the speed needed to do the

job. Do not run the engine at high speed when not in use.

• Always stop the engine when operation is delayed or when

walking from one location to another.

• Stop the engine for maintenance, repair, to install or remove the

blower tubes. The unit must be stopped and the impeller no
longer turning to avoid contact with the rotating blades.

• If you strike or come into contact with a foreign object, stop the

engine immediately and check for damage. Do not operate before
repairing damage. Do not operate the unit with loose or damaged
parts.

• Use only replacement parts recommended for this tool that are sold

by a Cub Cadet outlet. Use of any replacement parts purchased
elsewhere may be hazardous, and will also void your warranty.

• Never use this unit for spreading chemicals, fertilizers or other

substances which may contain toxic materials.

• To reduce fire hazard, replace faulty muffler and spark arrestor.

Keep the engine and muffler free from grass, leaves, excessive
grease or carbon build up.

• Turn the engine off and disconnect the spark plug for maintenance

or repair.

• Never point the blower or blowing debris in the direction of

people, animals, or in the direction of windows. Always direct the
blowing debris away from people, animals, and windows. Use
extra caution when blowing debris near solid objects such as
trees, automobiles, walls, etc.

OTHER SAFETY WARNINGS

• Always disconnect the spark plug before performing maintenance

or accessing movable parts.

• Never store the unit, with fuel in the tank, inside a building where

fumes may reach an open flame (pilot lights, etc.) or sparks
(switches, electrical motors, etc.).

• Allow the engine to cool before storing or transporting. Be sure to

secure the unit while transporting.

• Store the unit in a dry place, either locked up or up high to prevent

unauthorized use or damage. Keep out of the reach of children.

• Never douse or squirt the unit with water or any other liquid. Keep

handles dry, clean, and free from debris. Clean after each use,

instructions.

• Keep these instructions. Refer to them often and use them to

instruct other users. If you loan this unit to others, also loan these
instructions to them.

SPECIAL NOTE:

Exposure to vibrations through prolonged use of

gasoline powered hand tools could cause blood vessel or nerve
damage in the fingers, hands, and joints of people prone to
circulation disorders or abnormal swelling. Prolonged use in cold
weather has been linked to blood vessel damage in otherwise
healthy people. If symptoms occur such as numbness, pain, loss of
strength, change in skin color or texture, or loss of feeling in the
fingers, hands or joints, discontinue use of this tool and seek
medical attention. An anti-vibration system does not guarantee
avoidance of these problems. Users who operate power tools on a
regular basis must closely monitor their physical condition and the
condition of this tool.
