Bracing unit with one hand, grasp recoil handle
and pull briskly. You may have to pull several
times before engine starts. (If engine fails to

rope or recoil could result.

•
If engine is not to be started for a prolonged period, turn fuel valve to closed position.
IMPORTANT NOTE : If you experience problems with your engine that cannot be satisfactorily resolved by following the
instructions contained within the engine manual, contact your local engine dealer, or call the toll-free service number listed in
the repair section of the engine manual. All engine service, warranty or otherwise, is required to be performed by a
manufacturer-authorized service center. The equipment manufacturer is neither authorized nor responsible for any type of
warranty engine service, nor is it equipped to perform any such service.
BLOWER OPERATION
DANGER! DO NOT PASS BY OR STAND ON THE AIR DISCHARGE SIDE OF ANY
LEAF BLOWER WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. HIGH VELOCITY DISCHARGE CAN
EASILY TURN HARMLESS DEBRIS INTO FLYING PROJECTILES.
DANGER! NEVER INSERT ANY BODY PART OR FOREIGN OBJECT INTO ANY

GENERAL RULES TO OBSERVE BEFORE
AND DURING OPERATION:
•
Inspect your unit before each and every use. Check for worn, bent or broken components, loose fasteners,
low or flat tires, etc., and repair or replace prior to operation. DO NOT OPERATE A MACHINE THAT IS
WORN OR DAMAGED – SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH CAN RESULT.
•
Clear the entire work area of all debris that could cause damage to or become entangled in the unit. Rocks
and large branches can wedge themselves between the impeller and housing, causing equipment damage
or personal injury. If in doubt, remove it.
