Operating Blower

WARNING!

Engine exhaust IS HOT, and contains Carbon Monoxide (CO), a poison gas. Breathing CO can cause un-

consciousness, serious injury, or death. Exhaust can cause serious burns. ALWAYS position unit so that exhaust

is directed away from your face and body.

WARNING!

Always wear safety glasses, hearing protection and a face filter mask or serious personal injury may result.

Do not point the blower pipe in the direction of people or pets.

IMPORTANT!

Use reduced speed only when performing light-duty tasks or to comply with local noise regulations. Continuous

low speed operation may allow fuel/oil residue to build-up on the piston and cause rapid build-up of carbon on

the spark arrestor screen, resulting in overheating and engine damage. To reduce harmful build-up, run engine

at wide open throttle for at least 5 minutes every hour, and inspect/clean the spark arrestor screen after

approximately 40 hours of operation.

The EB254 is equipped with a multi-function throttle control. The

“Cruise” function allows the operator to use a thumb controlled lever for

constant speed use without using the throttle trigger. This is useful for

limiting the fatigue caused from holding the throttle for extended periods

of time.

On the opposite side, a two position

“Limiter” control allows full engine speed when set for “Turbo” or limits

the throttle to a pre-set engine speed when set to low noise (dB) setting.

Cruise Function

Using the right thumb, push the throttle lock lever down until the desired

min-1 (rpm) setting is reached. See Figure 10.
To bring RPM down to idle, push lever back up into original position.

Throttle Limiter
The EB254 has a throttle limiter function that allows the operator to pre-

set the maximum engine speed. This is useful for reducing the noise

emitted by the blower in noise sensitive areas.
Setting Throttle Limiter:
For reduced noise setting, move the throttle limiter located on the right

side of the throttle control to the dB setting.

See Figure 11.

Adjusting Throttle Limiter:
1. Remove the plug located at the top of the throttle assembly. See

Figure 12.

2. Move the throttle limiter lever to the “dB” setting. See Figure 12.
3. With the engine running and while

depressing the throttle trigger, use a small cross head screw driver

to turn the adjustment screw clockwise to decrease min

-1

(rpm) and

counter-clockwise to increase until desired limited min

-1

(rpm) is

achieved.

4. Reinstall limiter adjustment plug.
