Debris Blower
• Never allow hands, clothing or any
part of the body to enter the discharge
chute or near moving parts.
• Avoid wearing loose-fitting clothing.
• Wear approved eye and ear protection
while operating the machine.
• The machine should be operated on
level surfaces only.
• Before starting the machine, visually
inspect all nuts, bolts and other
fasteners to see that they are properly
secured. Nuts, bolts and other
fasteners should be checked every 8
to 10 hours of operation for proper
alignment and tightness.
Operation
• Make certain the impeller chamber is
empty before starting the machine.
• If a foreign object should strike the
impeller mechanism of the machine
and cause an unusual noise or
vibration, shut the engine or PTO off
immediately and allow it to come to a
complete stop. Disconnect the spark
PTO shaft from the power unit, and
then do the following:
1. Inspect for damage.
2. Repair or replace any damaged
parts.
3. Check for and tighten any loose
bolts, nuts, fasteners or parts.
• Keep debris material from building up
in the discharge and inlet area, as this
may prohibit proper discharge of
airflow and can cause poor
performance.
• Keep the impeller inlet area clean from
debris and other accumulations.
• Keep all safety shields and guards in
place and in good working condition.
• Keep your face and all body parts
away from inlet and discharge
openings.
• Stay away from the discharge area
when machine is in operation.
• If the Debris Blower should become
clogged, shut off the engine or PTO
and allow it to come to a complete
stop. Disconnect the spark plug wire
from the spark plug or PTO shaft
before clearing debris.
• Do not allow hands, clothing or any
part of the body to enter the discharge
chute, impeller inlet or near any
moving parts.
• Replace damaged or missing safety
decals.
• Keep hands, feet and clothing away
from PTO driven parts.
• Keep all guards and shields in place
during operation. Disengage PTO and
shut off the engine before removing
guards or shields.
• Never attempt to adjust, clean or
lubricate the machine while it is in
operation.
• Operator should never wear loose
clothing when working around PTO.
• Before starting tractor, make sure that
the transmission and PTO are
disengaged.
• Make sure the tractor’s engine is at
idle speed before engaging the PTO.
