OPERATING SAFELY
IN GENERAL
– Use extra care when loading or unloading the
machine into a trailer or truck.
– Do not run the engine in an enclosed area where
dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
– Never leave a running machine unattended. Always
stop engine when leaving the operator position.
– Do not blow towards people, cars, windows, or other
items which could be injured or damaged by the
blown debris.
– Keep hands away from the blower air intake and
outlet.
STARTING
– Start according to instructions in this manual or on
the machine.
– Do not change engine governor settings or
overspeed the engine. Operating the engine at
excessive speed can increase the hazard of personal
injury.
OPERATING ON SLOPES
- Slopes are a major factor in loss of control and tip over
accidents that sometimes lead to severe injury or death.
All slopes require extra caution.
INTERRUPTING OPERATION
- Before leaving the operator's position:
- Park on level ground.
- Shut off the engine.
- Stop the engine, and wait until the fan stops moving:
- before refueling;
- Stop the engine, and disconnect the spark plug
wire(s):
- before clearing blockages;
- before checking, cleaning or working on the
machine;
- if the machine begins to vibrate abnormally: shut
off machine immediately. Inspect and have repairs
made as needed before restarting;
- except for repairs or adjustments as specically
noted, such as for carburetor adjustment, where
the engine must be running. Keep hands and feet
clear of moving parts in these circumstances.
- Allow the fan to come to a complete stop when
stopping operation to clear blockages, unclog,
inspect the machine, do maintenance or repair.
- Reduce the throttle setting during engine shut-down
and, if the engine is provided with a shut-off valve,
turn the fuel off at the conclusion of operation.
- Before operating on slopes, evaluate the risks involved.
- Do not operate on slopes if uneasy or uncertain. Ulti-
mate responsibility for safe operation on slopes rests
with the operator.
- Do not operate on steep slopes. Poor footing could
cause a slip and fall accident.
- Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual.
- Do not operate near drop-offs, ditches or embankments.
You could lose your footing or balance.
- Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then turn
slowly and downhill when possible.
- Be sure of your footing on slopes.
- Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks and other hidden
objects. Uneven terrain could cause a slip and fall accident. Tall grass can hide objects.

MAINTENANCE SAFETY
In general
- Maintain machine according to manufacturer's sched-
ule and instructions for maximum safety and best
results.
- Park machine on level ground.
- Never allow untrained personnel to service machine.
- Guards should only be removed by a qualied techni-
cian for maintenance or service.
- Adjust or repair only after the engine has been
stopped and the fan has stopped moving.
- Disconnect spark plug wire(s) before doing any main-
tenance.
- Replace parts if worn, damaged or faulty. For best
results, always replace with parts recommended by
the manufacturer.
- Do not dismantle the machine without releasing or
restraining forces which may cause parts to move
suddenly.
- Provide adequate support, e.g. jack stands for lifted
machine or parts if working beneath.
- Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.
- Clean up spilled oil or fuel thoroughly.
- Replace faulty mufers.
- To reduce re hazards, keep the engine, mufer, and
fuel storage area free of grass, leaves, debris buildup
or grease.
- When refueling or checking fuel level:
- Stop the engine and allow to cool;
- Do not smoke;
- Refuel outdoors only;
- Use a funnel;
- Do not overll;
- If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the en-
gine until the spill is cleaned up and vapors have
cleared.
- Replace caps on fuel containers and tanks securely.
Sparks from static electricity can start res or cause
explosions. Flowing fuel can generate static electricity.
To prevent static electricity sparks:
- Keep containers electrically grounded. Do not ll
containers in a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed
with a plastic liner. Fill containers on the ground
away from the vehicle.
- When practical, remove petrol (gasoline) powered
equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the
ground. If equipment must be refueled on the truck
or trailer, refuel from a portable container rather than
a dispenser nozzle.
- Keep the dispenser nozzle in contact with the rim
of the fuel tank or container opening until fueling is
complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
- If petrol (fuel) is spilled on clothing change it
immediately.
Fans
Do not straighten or weld fans. Replace damaged or
failed fans.
Fuel
- Petrol (gasoline) and diesel
fuels are ammable; petrol
(gasoline) vapors are explosive. Use extra care when
handling.
- Store only in containers
specically designed for fuel.
WARNING
STORAGE SAFETY
- Stop the engine and allow to cool before storing.
- Drain the fuel tank outdoors only.
- Store fuel in an approved container in a cool, dry
place.
- Keep the machine and fuel containers in a locked stor-
age place to prevent tampering and to keep children
from playing with them.
- Do not store the machine or fuel container near an open
ame, spark, or appliance, such as a water heater, or
a pilot light.
- Keep petrol (gasoline) storage area free of grass,
leaves and excessive grease to reduce re hazard.
- Clean grass and debris from cutting units, drives,
mufers and engine to help prevent res.
