OPERATING TIPS
z
So that you may become accustomed to the blower
operation, start the engine and let it warm up. At idle,
you will find that no air is moving because the clutch is
disengaged. As you gradually increase the engine
speed to full throttle, you will find that the air force
increases also.
OPERATION USING THE BLOWER ATTACH-
MENT
See Figure 3.
When using the blower attachment, hold the unit with the
right hand on the rear handle and the left hand on the front
handle. Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation.
The blower should be held at a comfortable position with the
rear handle about hip height.
NOTE:
Carry the unit slightly above ground level. Do not
drag or push it along on the ground as the housing will wear
quickly.

The blower produces a strong air blast when operated at
full speed and the air force is directly controlled by the
engine speed.

In many situations it is not necessary to use the full
power of the blower, in fact it is not advisable in some
applications. When using the blower in tight quarters,
such as corners of patios and garages, full power is not
usually required. A somewhat slower speed will do the
same job effectively without the turbulence created by
full power operation. This turbulence only carries the
blown material back into the corner and produces
floating dust.
To keep from scattering debris, blow around the outer
edges of a debris pile. Never blow directly into the center
of a pile.

You will find that it is no longer necessary to move
objects to effectively clean around them. A simple blast
from the blower will move debris from those difficult to
reach and often impossible to clean areas.

The ground level air blast is ideal for practically all
sweeping jobs.
