Proper Blower Operation

SAFETY :

• Fully familiarize yourself with the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS section.
  ­

• To keep from scattering debris, blow around the outer edges of a debris pile. Never blow directly into the center of a pile.
  ­

• Watch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly washed cars, and blow debris safely away.

OPERATION :
­

• Check your equipment before operation, especially the muffler, air intakes, and air filters.
  ­

• Install the blower tube. Refer to the ASSEMBLY section earlier in this manual.
  ­

• Start the blower. Refer to Starting and Stopping earlier in this manual.
  ­

• Hold the upper handle in your right hand.
  ­

• Move the blower from side to side along outer edge of the debris.
  ­

• Operate blower at the lowest possible throttle speed to do the job.

GENERAL TIPS : ­

• To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of equipment used at any one time. ­
• Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing. ­
• In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces when water is available. ­
• Hold blower so the air stream can work close to the ground. ­
• After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris properly.

Never run the unit without the blower tubes installed. Use of an improperly assembled unit could result in serious personal injury.

Do not place blower on top of or near loose debris or gravel. Debris may be sucked into blower intake vent resulting in possible damage to the unit and could result in serious personal injury.

In some State and local jurisdictions and to comply with local noise ordinances, operate power equipment during reasonable hours. For more information, contact your State and local government for specific requirements.

Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes and other possible serious injuries.

Cruise Control Feature

The cruise control lever can be used to operate the blower at desired speed without holding the throttle trigger. ­

• To engage, squeeze the throttle trigger and move the cruise control lever to the desired speed.
  ­

• To release, move the cruise control lever back to the original low position.

MAINTENANCE

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 a clean cloth to remove dirt, dust, lubricant, grease, etc.

Before inspecting, cleaning, or servicing the machine, shut off engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and disconnect spark plug wire and move it away from spark plug. Failure to follow these instructions could result in personal injury or property damage.

When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts could create a hazard or cause product damage.

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 could result in serious personal injury.

Tampering or adjusting the factory set carburetor is a Federal Violation and will void your warranty coverage.

Cleaning the Air Filter

For proper performance and long life, keep the air filter clean.

1. Move choke knob to CHOKE position (See Cold Start section of manual) to prevent dirt and debris from entering carburetor.
2. Remove the air cleaner cover by turning the cover fastener counter-clockwise. Brush away any accumulated dirt from the air filter cover area.
3. Inspect and replace or clean the air filter. To reassemble make sure the filter fits in the cavity and reinstall the filter as shown. Fasten the air filter cover by turning the fasteners clockwise.

Fuel Cap

Check for fuel leaks. A leaking fuel cap is a fire hazard and must be replaced immediately. If you find any leaks, correct the problem before using the product. Failure to do so could result in a fire that could cause serious personal injury.

Spark Plug

1. Remove spark plug and check for worn and rounded center electrode.
2. Clean, adjust or replace with a new spark plug per the gap specifications below.

Maintenance Schedule

Follow the service intervals indicated in the schedule below. Service your blower more frequently when operating in adverse conditions. Contact our help line authorized service dealer. Time intervals shown are maximum. Actual use and your experience will determine the frequency of required maintenance.

Storing The Blower

­

• Clean all foreign material from the product. Store idle unit indoors in a dry, well-ventilated area that is inaccessible to children. Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden chemicals and deicing salts.
• Abide by all ISO and local regulations for the safe storage and handling of gasoline.

When storing 1 month or shorter :

• ­Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to your fuel container (not the fuel tank on the blower). Run engine at least 3 minutes after adding stabilizer.

When storing longer than a month : ­

• Drain all fuel from tank into a container approved for gasoline. Run engine until it stops.
