Adjust the throttle cable to the idle position.

moisture from the vacuum pump and cool the unit down.

If shutting down for the day: Plug the vacuum inlet on the front of the unit and set the throttle to high. Spray a
quality silicone or Teflon/PTFE based lubricant into the blower lubrication cup for 5 seconds. Let machine run 2 minutes
to disperse lube to blower.
