S 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.
S Never place objects inside the blower tubes,
vacuum tubes or blower outlet. 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.
S Never run unit without the proper
equipment attached. When using your unit
as a blower, always install blower tubes.
S Check air intake opening, blower tubes or
vacuum tubes frequently, always with
engine stopped and spark plug
disconnected. Keep vents and discharge
tubes free of debris which can accumulate
and restrict proper air flow.
S Never place any object in air intake opening
as this could restrict proper air flow and cause
damage to the unit.
S Never use for spreading chemicals, fertilizers,
or other substances which may contain toxic
materials.
S To avoid spreading fire, do not use near leaf or
brush fires, fireplaces, barbecue pits,
ashtrays, etc.
