Start unit on ground with throttle at idle.  Check that blower pipe is
not blocked by the ground or by any objects.

Keep A Solid Stance

Maintain footing and balance at all times.  Do not stand on slippery,
uneven or unstable surfaces.  Do not work in odd positions or on
ladders.

Do not perform Maintenance or Assembly procedures with engine
running.

Noise Control

Follow local noise regulations on sound levels and hours of

ately after operation. Always keep exhaust area clear of flammable
debris. Allow the engine and muffler to completely cool before
