•
This blower is a backpack type, and is carried using a
shoulder harness while operating. It is operated and
controlled with the handle on the pipe using the right
hand.
•
The speed of the air jet is regulated by means of the
throttle. Select the speed best suited for respective
tasks.
•
Check that the air intake is not blocked, for example,
by leaves or rubbish. A clogged air intake reduces the
machine's blowing capacity and increases the
engine's working temperature, which can result in
engine failure. Stop the engine and remove the object.
•
Be aware of the wind direction. Work with the wind to
make your work easier.
•
Using the blower to move large piles is time
consuming and creates unnecessary noise.
•
Keep a good balance and a firm foothold.
•
When work is finished the machine should be stored
vertically.
