MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Before inspecting, cleaning, or servicing the machine,
shut off engine or motor, wait for all moving parts to stop,
and disconnect spark plug wire and move it away from
spark plug or disconnect from power supply. Failure to
follow these instructions can result in serious personal
injury or property damage.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1, along with hearing protection.
Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into
your eyes and other possible serious injuries.
WARNING:
When servicing, use replacement parts that meet or
exceed original product specifications. Use of any other
parts can create a hazard or cause product damage.
NOTICE
:
Periodically inspect the entire product for damaged,
missing, or loose parts such as screws, nuts, bolts, caps,
etc. Tighten securely all fasteners and caps and do not
operate this product until all missing or damaged parts are
replaced. Please contact customer service or a qualified
service center for assistance.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.
ATTACHING THE STORAGE HANGER
See Figure 5.
There are two ways to hang the attachment for storage.
To use the hanger cap, push in the button and place the
hanger cap over the end of the attachment shaft. Slightly
rotate the cap from side to side until the button locks into
place.
The secondary hole in the attachment shaft can be used
for hanging purposes as well.
STORING THE ATTACHMENT
Store the attachment indoors in a dry, well-ventilated
place that is inaccessible to children.
Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden chemi-
cals and de-icing salts.
OPERATION
When using attachment with a gas power head:
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.
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 applica-
tions. 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.
