545154658 Rev. 5 7/15/08

Muffler

The muffler is designed to give the lowest possible noise level and to direct the en-

gine's exhaust fumes away from the opera- tor. Mufflers fitted with catalytic converters

are also designed to reduce harmful ex- haust 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 extreme- ly hot during use and after stopping. This also applies at idling speeds.

Contact can result in burns to the skin. Be aware of the risk of fire!

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 preven- tion of accidents. These are described in

the general description of the b_ower. 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.

Safety while operating the

blower

• Do not allow bystanders or animals to be in the work area, i.e 50 feet (15 meters)

from the operator.

• The blower may throw objects at high velocity that can ricochet and hit the opera-

tor. This may cause serious eye damage.

• Never point the blower nozzle toward people or animals.

• Stop the engine before fitting or disman-

tling accessories or other components.

• Never operate the blower if any of the guards are missing.

• Never operate the blower in poorly venti- lated spaces where exhaust fumes might

otherwise be inhaled.

• Stop the engine before refueling. Move

the unit at least 10 feet (3 meters) from fueling site before attempting to start.

• The catalytic muffler is extremely hot while the blower is running and after it

has stopped. The same applies when the blower is running at idling speed. Be

aware of the danger of fire, especially while operating the blower near flam-

mable materials and/or where flammable

fumes are present
