Operating
Procedures
Hold the blower as shown in Figures 15, 16 and 17.
Sweep from side to side with the nozzle several inches
above the ground or floor. Slowly advance the unit,
keeping the accumulated
pile of debris in front of you.
Most dry blowing operations are better suited to low
speeds, rather than high. High speed blowing is a better
way to move heavier items like large debris or gravel.
1
Use the blower for trees, shrubs, flower beds and
hard-to-clean
areas (Fig. 15).
2.
Use the unit around buildings and for other normal
cleaning procedures (Fig. 16).
3.
Use the blower around walls, overhangs, fences and
screens (Fig. 17).
