SAFETY

OPERATING SAFELY

IN GENERAL

–  Use extra care when loading or unloading the 

machine into a trailer or truck.

–  Do not run the engine in an enclosed area where 

dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.

–  Never leave a running machine unattended. Always 

stop engine when leaving the operator position.

–   Do not blow towards people, cars, windows, or other 

items which could be injured or damaged by the 

blown debris.

–   Keep hands away from the blower air intake and 

outlet.

STARTING

–  Start  according to instructions in this manual or on 

the machine.

–  Do not change engine governor settings or 

overspeed the engine. Operating the engine at 

excessive speed can increase the hazard of personal 

injury.

INTERRUPTING OPERATION

-  Before leaving the operator's position: 
 

-  Park on level ground.

 

-  Shut off the engine. 

-  Stop the engine,  and wait until the fan stops moving:
 

-  before refueling;

-  Stop the engine,  and disconnect the spark plug 

wire(s):

 

-  before clearing blockages;

 

-  before checking, cleaning or working on the 

machine; 

 

-  if the machine begins to vibrate abnormally: shut 

off machine immediately.  Inspect and have repairs 

made as needed before restarting;

 

-  except for repairs or adjustments as specifically 

noted, such as for carburetor adjustment, where 

the engine must be running.  Keep hands and feet 

clear of moving parts in these circumstances.

-  Allow the fan to come to a complete stop when 

stopping operation to clear blockages, unclog, 

inspect the machine, do maintenance or repair.

-  Reduce the throttle setting during engine shut-down 

and, if the engine is provided with a shut-off valve, 

turn the fuel off at the conclusion of operation. 

 OPERATING ON SLOPES

Slopes are a major factor in loss of control and tip over 

accidents that sometimes lead to severe injury or death.  

All slopes require extra caution.

-  Before  operating  on  slopes,  evaluate  the  risks  in-

volved.

Do not operate on slopes if uneasy or uncertain.  Ulti-

mate responsibility for safe operation on slopes rests 

with the operator.

-  Do not operate on steep slopes.  Poor footing could 

cause a slip and fall accident.

-  Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual.
-  Do not operate near drop-offs, ditches or embankments.  

You could lose your footing or balance. 

-  Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then turn 

slowly and downhill when possible.

-  Be sure of your footing on slopes.
-  Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks and other hidden 

objects.  Uneven terrain could cause a slip and fall ac-

cident.  Tall grass can hide objects.
