Blowing Start the blower engine, as previously described. Hold the blower firmly about 10 - 20 cm from the ground and move it in a sweeping motion from left to right, directing the debris to the desired location. • Use low throttle settings when clearing lightweight materials from around lawns or shrubbery. • Use medium to higher throttle settings to move lightweight grass or leaves from driveways or paths. • Use full throttle when moving heavy loads such as dirt or snow. IMPORTANT. Blower noise increases at higher throttle settings. Always use the lowest throttle setting required to get the job done. • Never operate the blower unless it is properly assembled and in good working condition. • Never operate the blower without a properly functioning muffler and spark arrestor installed.
