upset, or tf you are under the influence of alcohol,
dmgs, or medication.
5. Keep children, bystanders, and animals away
from tHe work area a minimum of 30 feet wkmstarting or operating the unit.
6. Inspect the axeahefore starting the unit. Re
move all debris and hard objects such as rocks,
^ass, wire, etc. that can ricochet, be thrown, or oth-
. «wise cause injury or damage during operation,
C. HANDLE FUEL WTTH CAUTION
1. Eliminnte all sources of sparks or flame (in
' duding smoMng, open flames, or work that can
cause ^arks) in areas where fuel is mixed, poured,
or stored.
2. Mix and pour fuel in an outdoor arem; store
fhel in a cool, dry, weB—ventilated place; use an ap
7. Move at least 10 feet away fkom ftiel and fuel

p. OPERATE YOUB UNIT SAFELY
1. Stop the engine before opening the vacnunt
inlet door or attempting to insert or remove the
: vacuum tubes. Ji^^nginem^^tg^pped and the
impeller bladekiwphget toipi|3gi^^ serious
inijuiy from therotatinghlades.
2. Inspect the entire unit bef>reeach use for worn,
loose, missing, or damaged parts. Do not use until
the unit is in proper working order.
3. Keep the outside surfaces free of oil and fueL
4. Never start or run unit inside a closed room
6. Never use for spreading dhemicals, fertiliz
ers, or any other material which may contain toric
substances.
7, Do not set the unit on any surface except a
dean, hard area to start the engine or while
the engine is running. Debris such as gravel,
sand, dust, grass, etc. could picked up by the air
intake and thrown out through the discharge open
ing, damagingthe unit, property, or causing serious
injury to bystanders or the operator.
S, Avoid dangerous enviromnents. Do not use in
unventilat^ ateas or where erqplteive vapors or
carbon monoxide build up could be present.
3. Avoid situations which could set the collec
tion bag on fire. Do not vacuum discarded cigars
or cigarettes or ash'from fireplaces, barbecue pits,
brush pües, etc. To avoid spreading fir^ do not use
blower near leaf or brush fires, fireplaces, barbecue

faces suds as ladders, trees, steep tuoflops,
ete. Use extra care when cleaning on stairways.
Keep firm footing and balance at all tiroes.
11. Never placé objects inside the blower tubes;
always direct the blowing debris away from people,
animals, glass, and solid objects such as trees, auto
mobiles, walls, etc. The force of air can cause rocks,

hurt people or animals, break glass, or cause other
damage. Do not allow ^ unit to be used as a toy.
12, Never place any object in the mr intake open
ing as this could restrict proper air flow and cause
damage to the unit.
13. Mever ran unit without the proper^equljj^
ment attached. When used as gblower, always in
stall ablowertube, When used as a vacutan, always
install vacuum tubes and collection bag assembly.
