Horizontal Air Flow Deflector
Loosen the knob on the rear of the discharge
opening and move the deflector to the
desired position. Tighten the knob to hold the
deflector in position.
Positioning the air flow deflector at a
downward angle will force the air flow down
at a greater angle allowing it to more easily
work under heavier or wet debris.
NOTE:
Ensure that the Direction control lever
is in the correct position for side air flow.
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
IMPORTANT:
Read the Engine Manual
CAREFULLY before operating the unit.
Before starting the engine:
1. Be sure the engine crankcase is filled
with the proper type and amount of oil.
2. Make sure that the air flow will be
directed away from bystanders, pets,
buildings, etc. once the engine starts.
FILLING FUEL TANK
To add fuel to the fuel tank:
1. Clean fuel cap and surrounding area to
prevent dust, dirt, and debris from
entering fuel tank.
2. Remove fuel cap.
IMPORTANT:
Refer to Engine Manual for
correct type and grade of fuel.
3. Fill fuel tank to the bottom of filler neck.
fuel tank capacity.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT OVERFILL! This
equipment and/or its engine may include
evaporative emissions control system
components, required to meet EPA and/or
CARB regulations, that will only function
properly when the fuel tank has been filled to
the recommended level. Overfilling may
cause permanent damage to evaporative
emissions control system components. Filling
to the recommended level ensures a vapor
gap required to allow for fuel expansion. Pay
close attention while filling the fuel tank to
ensure that the recommended fuel level
inside the tank is not exceeded. Use a
portable gasoline container with an
appropriately sized dispensing spout when
filling the tank. Do not use a funnel or other
device that obstructs the view of the tank
filling process.
4. Replace fuel cap and tighten.
5. ALWAYS clean up spilled fuel.
Start Engine
1. Move fuel shutoff valve to the open
position.
2. Move engine switch to ON position.
3. Open the throttle about halfway and
close the choke if engine is cold. A warm
engine may require little or no choke to
start.
4. Slowly pull the recoil starter until engine
compression makes pulling difficult. Let
the starter rewind a little, and then pull
smoothly and quickly to start the engine.
5. Repeat step 4 as needed.
6. When engine starts gradually open the
choke until fully opened. Do not fully
open the choke immediately when the
engine is cold or the ambient
temperature is low which could cause
the engine to stall.
7. Gradually move the throttle lever toward
the high speed position and set it at the
desired engine speed for amount of air
flow required.
Stop Engine
1. Move throttle lever to slow position until
engine idles.
2. Move engine switch to the OFF position.
3. Remove any hearing protection and
listen for all moving parts to come to a
complete stop.
4. Move the fuel shutoff valve to the closed
position.
WARNING:
AVOID INJURY! Stop the
engine and wait for the impeller
blades to stop rotating before making
any adjustments to the air flow.
Impeller blades will continue to rotate
for a short time after the engine has
been shut off.
