HIGH VELOCITY DISCHARGE CAN EASILY TURN HARMLESS DEBRIS INTO FLYING PROJECTILES. DANGER! NEVER INSERT ANY BODY PART OR FOREIGN OBJECT INTO ANY OPENING WHILE UNIT IS RUNNING. SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH CAN RESULT. 7 4 unit operation (cont.) GENERAL RULES TO OBSERVE BEFORE AND DURING OPERATION: • Inspect your unit before each and every use. Check for worn, bent or broken components, loose fasteners, low or flat tires, etc., and repair or replace prior to operation. DO NOT OPERATE A MACHINE THAT IS WORN OR DAMAGED – SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH CAN RESULT. • Clear the entire work area of all debris that could cause damage to or become entangled in the unit. Rocks and large branches can wedge themselves between the impeller and housing, causing equipment damage or personal injury. If in doubt, remove it. • Do not start unit until you are ready to begin blowing, and promptly shut off unit as soon as operation is complete. • Keep hands, feet and clothing away from rotating parts. Never place your feet or hands in path of discharge. • Use proper discretion in selecting your debris removal pattern, especially on uneven terrain. Avoid steep hills, especially if surface is wet. Do not travel straight down slopes exceeding 14 degrees. If tires begin to slip when climbing a slope, the grade is too steep for safe operation. Angle the unit to a less steep slope until tires stop slipping and traction is regained. • Be keenly aware of your surroundings while operating unit – children and pets can pop out of nowhere. • Learn to listen to your machine – being aware of what a well-running unit sounds like can alert you to a potential problem. A straining engine or clanging impeller means that trouble is almost sure to follow. TO CHANGE AIR DISCHARGE DIRECTION: • To direct air discharge out from the front of the machine, open the forward air deflector door, mounted on the front of the discharge end of the blower, by pushing the control lever to the front of the machine. This feature is ideal for such things as blowing debris from a wall or FRONT fence. Adjust engine speed to increase or decrease air discharge rate. • To direct air discharge out from the side of the machine, close the forward air deflector door by pulling the control lever toward the back of the machine. Adjust the dis- SIDE charge deflector up or down to control angle of discharge. This feature is ideal for such things as blowing debris into neat rows. Adjust engine speed to increase or decrease air discharge rate. IMPORTANT: SHUT UNIT DOWN BEFORE ADJUSTING SIDE DEFLECTOR. ADJUST HINTS FOR EFFECTIVE OPERATION: • For operator ease and maneuverability, push down on the upper handle while walking so that the machine balances on the rear wheels. • When blowing dry debris, set blower discharge to lower rate; when blowing wet or frozen debris, increase discharge rate. 8 maintenance BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS, STOP ENGINE AND DISCONNECT SPARK PLUG ! WIRE TO PREVENT INADVERTENT STARTING OF UNIT. GENERAL: • Follow implicitly the engine manufacturer’s recommendations for maintenance. • Always keep your machine clean – especially the engine. Check all adjustments periodically. Also, periodically check that all fasteners are secure. • Never make any adjustments to the unit until the engine is off and the spark plug wire is disconnected. • If carburetor adjustment is necessary, stand to one side and keep feet and hands in the clear while making adjustments. • Keep engine free of accumulations of grass, leaves or excessive grease. An accumulation of these combustible materials may result in a fire. • Store gasoline in a safe and approved container in a cool, dry place. • Keep the unit and any fuel containers in locked storage to prevent children from playing and/or tampering with them. • Do not store gasoline powered equipment or fuel containers in a basement or any closed area where heating or heat appliances or open pilot lights are present, unless the fuel is completely drained from the power equipment and the fuel containers. LUBRICATION: • The tires on your blower contain bearings that should be lubricated on a weekly basis using a high-performance, automotive quality grease to ensure long life and minimal wear. 9 5 maintenance (cont.) BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS, STOP ENGINE AND DISCONNECT SPARK PLUG ! WIRE TO PREVENT INADVERTENT STARTING OF UNIT. TROUBLESHOOTING: • UNIT WILL NOT START: • Check fuel and oil levels. • Check to make sure choke is set when engine is cold, off when hot. • Check throttle for proper operation. • Check intake baffle for jammed debris or accumulation of debris. • If condition persists, contact dealer. • UNIT STALLS: • Check fuel and oil levels. • Check intake baffle for jammed debris or accumulation of debris. • If condition persists, contact dealer. • EXCESSIVE NOISE OR VIBRATION: • Check to make sure all fasteners are tightened securely. • Remove intake baffle and visually inspect impeller for broken, bent, or cracked blades; also make sure im...
