USE OF BLOWER
• Each time before starting the engine,
inspect the entire unit to see if every part is
in good order and is securely tightened in
place. If any damage is found in the fuel
line, the exhaust line, or the ignition wiring,
do not use the blower until it has been
repaired.
• Before starting operation, always make
sure to check if any obstacles are left
inside the volute case. The obstacles may
cause damage on fan and volute case and
serious injury.
Check to see if the shock-absorbing rubber
mount has become cracked or otherwise
damaged.
Note that failing to replace this
rubber mount when it has become
cracked or damaged may cause the
engine to come loose from its frame
during use, thus resulting in possible
serious bodily injury.
• If cracked, be sure to replace without delay.
