Warning!
Always stop the engine and make sure
that the fan is stopped before doing any
maintenance or repair work or cleaning
the blower. Do not attempt any mainten-
ance or repair work not described in
your owner's manual. Have such work
performed at your STIHL service shop
only.
Check fuel filler cap for leaks at regular
intervals. Use the specified spark plug
and make sure it and the ignition lead
are always in good condition.

Warning!
A worn or damaged muffler is a fire
hazard and may cause loss of hearing.
Check to see that the muffler is in good
condition. The blower must not be opera-
ted if the muffler is not functioning pro-
perly or has been removed.
Remember that the risk of forest fires is
greater in hot weather. Use the spark
arresting muffler supplied with the unit.
Never touch a hot muffler or burn will
result.
