STARTING POSITION  
S Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris be-  
fore blowing.  
S In dusty conditions, slightly dampen sur-  
faces or use a mister attachment when wa-  
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 Watch out for children, pets, open windows,  
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,

SERVICE  
We recommend all service and adjustments  
not listed in this manual be performed by an  
authorized service dealer.  
Once each year, ensure muffler bolts are se-  
cure and tightened properly to prevent dam-  
age. Remove muffler cover and tighten the  
two muffler bolts (100 in/lbs).  
CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENTS  
Replace muffler cover when finished.  
Your carburetor is equipped with limiter caps.  
Carburetor adjustment is a complicated task.  
We recommend that you take your unit to an  
authorized service dealer. Damage may occur if  
you turn the needles beyond the limiter stops.
