OPERATING THE BLOWER

See Figure 10.
 Slip arm through harness strap and onto shoulder, then
repeat for the other shoulder. Adjust the straps to a
comfortable position. Refer to Adjusting Harness Straps
earlier in this manual. Remove unit for starting.
 Start the blower. Refer to Starting and Stopping earlier
in this manual.
OPERATION
 Put on the blower again. The unit should be operated on
the operator's right side as shown.
 To keep from scattering debris, blow around the outer
edges of a debris pile. Never blow directly into the center
of a pile.
 Operate power equipment at reasonable hours only —
not early in the morning or late at night when people
might be disturbed. Comply with the times listed in local
ordinances.
 To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of
equipment used at any one time.
 Operate blower at the lowest possible throttle speed to
do the job.
 Check your equipment before operation, especially the
muffler, air intakes, and air filters.
 Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces when water
is available.
 Conserve water by using power blowers instead of hoses
for many lawn and garden applications, including areas
such as gutters, screens, patios, grills, porches, and
gardens.
 Watch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly
washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
 Use the nozzle for larger volume, so the air stream can
work close to the ground.
 After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP!
Dispose of debris properly.
WARNING:
Do not place blower on top of or near loose debris. Debris
may be sucked into blower intake vent resulting in serious
personal injury and possible damage to the unit.

CRUISE CONTROL

See Figure 11.
The cruise control can be used to operate the blower without
holding the throttle trigger.
To engage the cruise control:
 Pull cruise control lever back toward user, and stop at
the desired throttle setting.

the way toward the front of unit.
