3. Place the shoulder harness over your head and onto
your shoulder and adjust properly, see
Installing
and Adjusting the Shoulder Harness
Pg. 11.
Hold the blower as shown in Figs. 15, 16, and 17. Sweep
from side to side with the nozzle several inches above
the ground or floor. Slowly advance, keeping the
accumulated pile of debris in front of you.
Most dry blowing operations are better suited to low
speed than high, while high speed is better for moving
heavier items like large debris or gravel.
Use the blower for trees, shrubs, flower beds and
hard to clean areas (Fig. 15).
