STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE
Flooded engines can be started by moving the choke lever (No 11 Fig 4) down to the off position (lll) and
fully squeezing the throttle trigger. Pull the recoil starter handle (No 8 Fig 4) repeatedly while squeezing
throttle trigger until engine starts and runs. This could require pulling the starter handle many times,
depending on how badly the unit is flooded. If the unit still doesn’t start, refer to the
TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before operating the unit, stand in the operating position and check that the harness is correctly adjusted.
Ensure the operator is wearing proper clothing, such as boots, safety glasses or goggles, ear/hearing
protection, gloves and long pants.
OPERATING TIPS
Ensure the blower is not directed at loose debris or persons before starting it. The blower is in good
working condition and the blower tubes and guards are in place and secure. To reduce the risk of hearing
loss associated with sound level(s), the use of hearing protection is required. Watch out for children, pets,
open windows, or freshly washed cars etc. when blowing debris away. Start engine (see starting/stopping
instructions).
1.
Place the shoulder harness over your head or onto your shoulder, and adjust it properly.
2.
Hold the blower as shown in Fig 5 with the exhaust muffler (No 5 Fig 4)
facing away from your body
and clothing. Sweep from side to side with the nozzle several inches above the ground or floor.
Advance slowly, keeping the accumulated pile of debris in front of you.
3.
Most dry blowing operations are better suited to low speed than high. High speed is better for moving
heavier items like large debris or gravel.
4.
Use the blower for trees, shrubs, flower beds and hard to clean areas.
5.
Use the blower around buildings and for other normal cleaning.
6.
Use the blower for walls, overhangs and screens.
