Congratulations on your purchase of a Ventrac LA162 Power Blower!
We are pleased to have you as a customer and hope that your purchase of a Ventrac will bring you many
years of satisfaction as you learn how the Ventrac can meet your day to day needs.
Product Description
The LA162 Power Blower features a vertical shaft design that delivers powerful, yet quiet, performance.
The power blower can be used to remove leaves, debris, light snow, water, etc.
The blower housing can be rotated 180 degrees using the power unit’s auxiliary hydraulic control. This
allows the operator to move debris in the desired direction without hindering operation. Maximum perfor-
mance is produced throughout the 180 degree arc. Wind speed can be reduced by lowering the power unit
engine RPM.
Two gauge wheels on the power blower maintain a consistent distance from the surface being cleared.
An adjustable defl ector shield allows the operator to further control the blower discharge.
