Then point the directional adjustment downward to move the base of the pile. • When clearing leaves, always pay attention to natural wind direction and blow the leaves the same direction as the natural wind. • To clear a small area, corral the leaves in the center by circling several times around the perimeter of the area. • To clear a large area, move the leaves from one side to the other by making back and forth passes. • Before starting a cleaning project, plan how the leaves will be collected and disposed. 11 Maintenance • Save all instructions A Maintenance Schedule WARNING Before performing any maintenance, turn engine off and remove the wire from the spark plug to prevent accidental starting and serious injury.
