Comply with times listed in local ordinances. Usual recommendations are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Saturday. • To reduce noise levels, limit the number of pieces of equipment used at any one time. • To reduce noise levels, operate power blowers at the lowest possible 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 or use a mister attachment when water is available. • Conserve water by using power blowers instead of hoses for many lawn and garden applications, including areas such as screens, patios, grills, porches, and gardens.
