Page 11 Page 12 OPERATION STARTING AND STOPPING See Figures 7 and 7a. Starting the product differs depending on whether the engine is cold or warm. Refer to the label on the air filter base for choke positions A, B, and C. See Figure 7a. TO START A COLD ENGINE: 1. Place the blower on a flat, bare surface. 2. Push the primer bulb, slowly, 5 times. 3. Move the choke lever to the full choke position marked A. 4. Squeeze the throttle trigger to full throttle position. 5. Pull the starter rope 3 times. 6. Move the choke lever to the half choke position marked B. 7. Squeeze the trigger to full throttle position and pull the starter rope until the engine runs. 8. Run the engine 30 to 45 seconds at full throttle in the half choke position, to warm up the engine. 9. Move the choke lever to position marked C. TO START A WARM ENGINE: 1. Push the primer bulb, slowly, 5 times. 2. Move the choke lever to the half choke position marked B. 3.

Release the throttle trigger and push the STOP knob until the engine stops. OPERATING THE BLOWER See Figure 9. ¦ Start the blower, refer to “Starting and Stopping” earlier in this manual. Hold the blower with the upper handle in your right hand. ¦ 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. WARNING: Keep away from all hot surfaces of the blower. Failure to do so could result in possible serious personal injury. Fig. 7 PRIMER BULB CHOKE LEVER THROTTLE TRIGGER PUSH TO STOP Fig. 8 Fig. 9 Fig. 7a CHOKE DECAL A B C OPERATIO N ¦ 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 full blower nozzle extension so the air stream can work close to the ground. ¦ After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris in trash receptacles. ¦ Use the wide sweeper nozzle for the everyday blowing operation. This nozzle allows for more area to be covered during the blowing operation. See Figure 10. ¦ The high velocity nozzle is great for wet sticky leaves. It allows you to scrape wet leaves or debris while operating the blower. See Figure 10. CRUISE CONTROL (THROTTLE LOCK) The cruise control (throttle lock) can be used to operate the blower without holding the throttle trigger. TO ENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL (Throttle Lock): See Figure 11. 1. Turn the Cruise control knob clockwise, toward the back of the blower, and stop at the desired throttle setting. 2. To release the Cruise control, depress a...
