MAINTENANCE

z

Use only original manufacturer's replacement parts,
accessories and attachments. Failure to do so may
cause poor performance, possible injury and may void
your warranty.

z

The blower attachment is maintenance free except for an
occasional check for debris that may have accumulated
on top of the fan. Strong vibrations during use is a sure
sign that something has become lodged in the fan. Stop
the engine, disconnect the coupling, remove the attach-
ment from the power head, and remove the debris.

z

Never operate a unit that is damaged, improperly
adjusted, or is not completely and securely assembled.

z

Always stop the engine and remove the spark plug wire
before making any adjustments or repairs.

z

Inspect the unit before each use for loose fasteners and
damaged or missing parts. Replace any parts that are
cracked, chipped, or damaged in any way. Failure to do
so can cause serious injury.

z

Make sure all handles are properly and securely at-
tached.

z

Never modify the unit in any way. Do not use for any job
except that for which it is intended.

z

For service, contact a servicing dealer.
