heating or heat appliances or open pilot lights are present, unless the fuel is completely drained from the
power equipment and the fuel containers.
LUBRICATION:

The pneumatic tires on your blower contain bearings that should be lubricated on a weekly basis using a
high-performance, automotive quality grease to ensure long life and minimal wear.
