o Stand behind the blower. Grasp the left control lever in the fingers of your left hand with your thumb hooked
under the handle. Gradually squeeze the lever toward the handle. As you do so, the blower will move forward.
The speed increases the closer the lever moves toward the handle. To move in reverse, grasp the right control
lever in the fingers of your right hand with your thumb hooked under the handle. Gradually squeeze the lever
