OPERATING TIPS

S

While vacuuming or blowing debris, hold

the unit with the muffler side facing away

from your body and clothes (see OPERAT-

ING POSITION).

S

To reduce the risk of hearing loss

associated with sound level(s), hearing

protection is required.

S

To reduce the risk of injury associated with

contacting rotating parts, stop the engine be-

fore installing or removing attachments. Do

not operate without guard(s) in place.

S

Operate power equipment only at reasonable

hours--not early in the morning or late at night

when people might be disturbed. Comply with

times listed in local ordinances. Usual recom-

mendations are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,

Monday though Saturday.

S

To reduce noise levels, limit the number of

pieces of equipment used at any one time.

S

To reduce noise levels, operate power

blowers at the lowest possible throttle

speed to do the job.

S

Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris be-

fore blowing.

S

In dusty conditions, slightly dampen sur-

faces or use a mister attachment when wa-

ter is available.

S

Conserve water by using power blowers

instead of hoses for many lawn and garden

applications, including areas such as gutters,

screens, patios, grills, porches, and gardens.

S

Watch out for children, pets, open windows,

or freshly washed cars. Blow debris away

safely.

S

Use the full blower nozzle extension so the

air stream can work close to the ground.

S

After using blowers and other equipment,

CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris in trash re-

ceptacles.

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE

WARNING:

Be sure to read the fuel

information in the safety rules before you

begin. If you do not understand the safety

rules, do not attempt to fuel your unit. Contact

an authorized service dealer.

FUELING ENGINE

WARNING:

Remove fuel cap slowly

when refueling.

This engine is certified to operate on

unleaded petrol. Before operation, petrol

must be mixed with a good quality 2-cycle

air-cooled engine oil. We recommend Partner

brand oil mixed at a ratio of 40:1 (2.5%). A

40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 5 liters of

unleaded petrol with 0,125 liter of oil. When

mixing fuel, follow the instructions printed on

the container. Always read and follow the

safety rules before fueling your unit.

IMPORTANT

Experience indicates that alcohol blended

fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or

methanol) can attract moisture which leads to

separation and formation of acids during stor-

age. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system

of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine

problems, empty the fuel system before stor-

age for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank,

start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines

and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next

season. Never use engine or carburetor

cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent

damage may occur.

HOW TO STOP YOUR ENGINE

S

Release the throttle trigger.

S

Push and hold the STOP switch in the

STOP position until the engine stops.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

WARNING:

You MUST make sure the

tubes are secure before using the unit.

D

Fuel engine. Move at least 3 meters away

from the fueling site.

D

Hold the unit in the starting position as

shown. Make sure the blower end is di-

rected away from people, animals, glass,

and solid objects.
