PLAN AHEAD

Always wear eye protection when operating, servicing, or performing maintenance on your unit. Wearing eye protection will help to prevent rocks or debris from being blown or ricocheting into eyes and face which can result in blindness and/or serious injury. Eye protection should meet the requirements of ANSI Z87.1

Always wear foot protection. Do not go barefoot or wear sandals.

Always wear respirator or face mask when working with unit in dusty environments.

Keep children, bystanders, and animals away from work area a minimum of 30 feet (10 m) when starting or operating unit. Do not point the blower nozzle in the direction of people or pets.

Inspect the area before starting the unit. Remove all debris and hard objects such as rocks, glass, wire, etc. that can ricochet, be thrown, or otherwise cause injury or damage during operation.

HANDLE FUEL WITH CAUTION, IT IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE

Eliminate all sources of sparks or flame (including smoking, open flames, or work that can cause sparks) in the areas where fuel is mixed, poured, or stored.

Mix and pour fuel in an outdoor area; store fuel in a cool, dry, well ventilated place; and use an approved, marked container for all fuel purposes.

Do not smoke while handling fuel or while operating the unit.

Make sure the unit is properly assembled and in good operating condition.

Do not fill fuel tank while engine is hot or running.

Avoid spilling fuel or oil. Wipe up fuel spills before starting engine.

Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from fuel and fueling site before starting engine.

Always store gasoline in a container approved for flammable liquids.

OPERATE YOUR UNIT SAFELY

WARNING:

opening the vacuum inlet door. The engine must be stopped and the impeller blades no longer turning to avoid serious injury from the rotating blades.

Inspect unit before each use for worn, loose, missing, or damaged parts. Do not use until unit is in proper working order.

Keep outside surfaces free of oil and fuel.

Never start or run engine inside a closed room or building. Breathing exhaust fumes can kill.

To avoid static electricity shock, do not wear rubber gloves or any other insulated gloves while operating the unit.

Do not set unit on any surface except a clean, hard area while engine is running. Debris such as gravel, sand, dust, grass, etc. could be picked up by the air intake and thrown out through discharge opening, damaging unit, property, or causing serious injury to bystanders or operator.

Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use in unventilated areas or where explosive vapors or carbon monoxide build up could be present.

Do not overreach or use from unstable surfaces such as ladders, trees, steep slopes, rooftops, etc. Keep firm footing and balance at all times.

Never place objects inside the blower tubes; always direct the blowing debris away from people, animals, glass, and solid objects such as trees, automobiles, walls, etc. The force of air can cause rocks, dirt, or sticks to be thrown or to ricochet which can hurt people or animals, break glass, or cause other damage.

Never run unit without the proper equipment attached. When using your unit as a blower, always install blower tubes. When using your unit as a vacuum, always install vacuum tubes and vacuum bag assembly. Make sure vacuum bag assembly is completely zipped.

Check air intake opening, blower tubes, vacuum tubes, and elbow tube frequently, always with the engine stopped and the spark plug disconnected. Keep vents and discharge tubes free of debris which can accumulate and restrict proper air flow.

Never place any object in the air intake opening as this could restrict proper air flow and cause damage to the unit.

Never use for spreading chemicals, fertilizers, or other substances which may contain toxic materials.

To avoid spreading fire, do not use near leaf or brush fires, fireplaces, barbecue pits, ashtrays, etc.

Use only for jobs explained in this manual.
