Muffler

The muffler is designed to give the lowest
possible noise level and to direct the en­gine’s exhaust fumes away from the opera­tor. Mufflers fitted with catalytic converters
are also designed to reduce harmful ex­haust components.

WARNING: The exhaust fumes

from the engine are hot and may
contain sparks which can start a fire.
Never start the machine indoors or
near flammable material!

WARNING: Mufflers fitted with

catalytic converters become extreme­ly hot during use and after stopping.
This also applies at idling speeds.
Contact can result in burns to the
skin.Beawareoftheriskoffire!

Safety equipment

WARNING: The blower must

never be used if any of the safety
devices or guards are missing,
damaged or not in working order.

The blower is equipped with a number of
safety devices and guards for the preven­tion of accidents. These are described in
the general description of the blower.
The safety devices and guards also require
regular inspection and maintenance. These
measures and the interval at which they
should be carried out are specified in the
Maintenance section.
