OPERATING TIPS
Experience indicates that alcohol blended
fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or
methanol)can attract moisture which leads to
separation and formation of acids during
storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel
system ofan enginewhile instorage. Toavoid
engine problems, empty the fuel system
beforestoragefor 30days or longer. Drainthe
gas tank,starttheengine andlet it rununtil the
fuel lines and carburetorareempty. Usefresh
S While vacuuming or blowing debris, hold
the unit with the muffler side facing away
from your body and clothes (see OPERAT-
ING POSITION illustration above).
S To reduce the risk of hearing loss
associated with sound level(s), hearing
protection is required.
S To reduce the risk of injury associated with
contacting rotating parts, stop the engine be-
fore installing or removing attachments. Do
not operate without guard(s) in place.
S Operate power equipment only at reasonable
hours--not early in the morning or late at night
when people might be disturbed. Comply with
times listed in local ordinances. Usual recom-
mendations are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,
Monday though Saturday.

Never use engine or
carburetorcleaner products in the fuel tank or
permanent damage may occur.
NOTE: Unit must be placed on its side when
adding fuel (see illustration below).
S To reduce noise levels, limit the number of
pieces of equipment used at any one time.
S To reduce noise levels, operate power
blowers at the lowest possible throttle
speed to do the job.
S Use rakes andbrooms to loosen debris be-
fore blowing.
S In dusty conditions, slightly dampen sur-
faces or use a mister attachment whenwa-
ter is available.
S Conserve water by using power blowers
instead of hoses for many lawn and garden
applications, including areas such as gutters,
screens, patios, grills, porches, and gardens.
S Watchoutfor children, pets, openwindows,
or freshly washed cars. Blow debris away
safely.
S Use the full blower nozzle extension so the
air stream can work close to the ground.
S After using blowers and other equipment,
CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris in trash re-
ceptacles.
