 CAUTION

Do not attempt to operate this blower unless you 
have read this manual. Learn the location and 
purpose of all controls and instruments before 
you operate. 

4.1 CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENT 
IDENTIFICATION 

Before operating the blower, familiarize yourself with all 
blower and engine controls. Knowing the location, function, 
and operation of these controls is important for safe and 
efficient operation.

1.  Ignition Switch (Figure 4-1).

  The ignition switch 

is used to start the engine. Turn the knob to the on 
position before pulling the recoil starter.

2.  Engine Choke Control (Figure 4-1).

  Used to start 

a cold engine.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

3.  Engine Throttle Control (Figure 4-1).

  Used to 

control the engine speed. Pushing the lever forward 
increases engine speed. Pulling the lever back 
decreases engine speed. Full back position is the 
IDLE position.

4.  Fuel Control Lever (Figure 4-1). 

 Used to control 

the fuel supply to the engine.

5.  Discharge Air Control Lever (Figure 4-1). 

 Used 

to control the discharge air stream. Lower air stream 
helps loosen up and move heavy debris such as wet 
leaves. Higher air stream helps prevent material blow 
back.

4.2 INITIAL RUN-IN PROCEDURES

FIRST DAY OF USE OR APPROXIMATELY 20 HOURS

1.  Change the engine oil and oil filter after the first 20 

hours of operation. (See Section 5.2.)
