IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

 

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING 

 

WARNING 

 
·  To prevent personal injury or property damage, do not attempt to start engine until all assembly 

steps are complete and you have read and understand the safety and operating instructions in 
this manual. 

 
·  Under California law, and under laws of several other states, you are not permitted to operation 

internal combustion’s engine using hydrocarbon fuels on any forest covered, brush covered, or 
grass covered land, or on land with grain, hay, or other flammable agricultural crop, without an 
engine spark arrester in continuous effective working order. The engine on your power 
equipment, like most outdoor power equipment, is an internal combustion engine that burns 
gasoline, a hydrocarbon fuel. Therefore, your power equipment must be quipped with a spark 
arrester muffler in continuous effective working order. The spark arrester must be attached to 
the engine exhaust system in such a manner that flames or heat from the system will not ignite 
flammable material. Failure of the owner/operator of the equipment to comply with this 
regulation is a misdemeanor under California law, and may also be a violation of other state 
and/or federal regulations, laws, ordinances, or codes. Contact your local fire marshal or forest 
service for specific information about what regulations apply in your area. 

 
·  Wear approved safety glasses when operating this equipment. The operation of any powered 

machine can result in foreign objects being thrown by high-speed rotating parts. 

 
·  Wear work gloves, sturdy footwear, and hearing protection when operating this equipment. 
 
· Remove hearing protection and watch for traffic when operating near, or when crossing 

roadways. 

 
·  Before inspecting or servicing any part of equipment, shut off engine, disconnect spark plug 

wire from spark plug, and make sure that all moving parts have come to a complete stop. Be 
aware that rotating blades slow down gradually after engine is shut off. 

 
·  Exercise extreme caution on slopes and avoid excessively steep slopes. 
 
·  Never leave equipment unattended when engine is running. Shut off engine and disconnect 

spark plug wire from spark plug before leaving equipment. Turn off fuel shut-off if equipped. 

 
·  Do not operate this equipment on a paved, gravel, or hard surface unless the collection bag is 

installed. Discharged material may bounce from a hard surface. 

 
·  Do not vacuum any burning or smoldering materials such as cigars, cigarettes, ashes or 

cinders. 

 
·  Do not vacuum areas that have been recently treated with fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides. 

 

Follow chemical manufacturer’s safety instructions regarding contact with treated areas. 

 
·  Do not vacuum flammable liquids such as gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, paint thinner, etc. 
 
·  Never pick up or carry equipment while the engine is running. 
 
·  Walk, never run.
