Read the Safety Section carefully.

Allow the engine to warm up at a fast idle for a few minutes.
3. Set engine speed with throttle position lever.
4. Use lower speed to blow dry grass and leaves from walks,
patios and drives.
5. Additional speed may be necessary to clean leaves from a
lawn or flowerbed.
6. Higher speed may be necessary to move gravel, dirt, snow,
bottles or cans from a driveway, street, parking lot or stadi-
um.
WARNING
Always wear safety glasses, hearing protection, face filter mask and take all safety precautions or serious personal in-
jury may result. Do not point the blower pipe in the direction of people or pets.
IMPORTANT
To avoid engine damage due to over revving, do not block blower pipe opening.
NOTE
Never use a higher speed setting than necessary to perform a task. Remember, the higher the engine speed, the louder the
blower noise. Minimize dust by using blower at lower speeds and by dampening material with water/mist when necessary. Keep
debris on your property. Be Smart - be a good neighbor.
