instructions for future reference.

cleaning tools and equipment. Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent or manufacturer

Wear approved hearing protection.
Wear eye protection with side shields
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
Do not touch parts that are hot
from operation. Serious burns may
result. Engine parts, especially the
muffler, become extremely hot during
operation. Allow engine and muffler to
cool before touching.
Do not remove or tamper with the
protection and safety devices.
Never start or run the engine inside
a closed area or in poorly ventilated
area. The engine exhaust contains
carbon monoxide, and odorless and
deadly gas.
Shut off the engine, disconnect spark
plug wire, and make certain all moving
parts have stopped before cleaning,
repairing, or inspecting the unit.
Gasoline and its vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive. Never
fuel the machine indoors or when
the engine is hot or running. Wipe
up gasoline that spills. Keep away
from flammables when operating the
blower.
Keep children and bystanders at least
50 feet away.
Stop engine and remove ignition key
prior to leaving the operator’s position.
Do not allow the directional discharge
chute to point in the direction of
bystanders or pets. Thrown objects
can result in personal injury or property
damage.
Use extra caution on slopes. The
machine is heavy and can speed up
when going downhill. Be prepared to
maintain control of the machine. To
avoid loss of control, operate across
slopes, not up and down. When
turning, turn uphill, not down. Do not
operate on slopes greater than 15
degrees.
There are rotating blades inside the
blower. Please keep your hands, feet
or tools out of intake and discharge
opening while machine is running.
Do not let long hair uncovered. Use a
hair net.
Keep safety devices (Guards, Shields,
etc.) in place and working. Do not
operate without shields and guards in
place.
Do not operate when children or other
are around.
