5. For safe operation
IMPORTANT
Remove any obstacle before beginning work.
3. Inspect the entire unit for loose fasteners and fuel
leakage. Make sure that the sweeping attachment is
properly installed and securely fastened.
■ STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Keep bystanders and animals at least 50 feet (15 m)
away from the operating point. If you are
approached, immediately stop the engine.
2. The product is equipped with a centrifugal clutch
mechanism, so the sweeping attachment could
rotate as soon as the engine is started. When
starting the engine, place the product onto the
ground in a flat clear area and hold it firmly in place
so as to ensure that neither the sweeping part nor
the throttle come into contact with any obstacle
when the engine starts.
WARNING
Make sure the throttle is at idle position.
Never place the throttle into the high speed
position or half throttle position (throttle lock
position) when starting the engine.
3. After starting the engine, check to make sure that
the Drum Ass'y stops rotating when the throttle is
moved fully back to its original position. If it
continues to rotate even after the throttle has been
moved fully back, turn off the engine and take the
unit to your authorized RedMax servicing dealer for
repair.
■ USING THE PRODUCT
IMPORTANT
Use only for tasks explained in the manual.
1. Grip the handles firmly with both hands using your
whole hand. Place your feet slightly apart (slightly
further apart than the width of your shoulders) so
that your weight is distributed evenly across both
legs, and always be sure to maintain a steady, even
posture while working.
