OPERATING TECHNIQUES

1. Operate power equipment only at reasonable hours — not early in the morning or late at night
when people may be disturbed. Comply with the times listed in local ordinances. Usual
recommendations for hours of operation are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through
Saturday.
2. To reduce noise levels, limit the number of pieces of equipment used at any one time and
operate power blowers at the lowest possible throttle speed to do the job.
3. Check your equipment before operation, especially the muffler, air intakes and air filters.
4. Use rakes or brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
5. In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces or use a mister attachment when water is
available.
6. Conserve water by using power blowers instead of hoses for many lawn and garden
applications, including areas such as gutters, screens, patios, grills, porches and gardens.
7. Use the full blower nozzle extension so the air stream can work close to the ground.
8. Watch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly washed cars and blow debris safely
away.
9. After using blowers and other equipment, CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris in trash receptacles.
