OPERATION  
INTENDED USE: This machine is designed for cleaning  
outdoor surfaces, where the debris can be effectively  
blown into a consolidated area for convenient pickup and  
removal.  
Do not operate if excessive vibration occurs. If excessive  
vibration occurs, shut engine off immediately and check  
for damaged or worn impeller, loose impeller bolt, loose  
impeller key, loose engine or lodged foreign objects.  
Note: See parts list for proper impeller bolt torque specifi-  
cations. (See trouble shooting section on page 8).  
EXHAUST AIR DEFLECTOR ADJUSTMENT:  
Like all mechanical tools, reasonable care must  
be used when operating machine.  
Inspect machine work area and machine before operat-  
ing. Make sure that all operators of this equipment are  
trained in general machine use and safety.  
Fig. 2  
Deflector adjusted downward  
increases air velocity for  
cleaning crevices and  
PUT OIL IN ENGINE BEFORE STARTING  
blowing heavier debris.  
16.1  
STARTING  
ENGINE: See engine manufacturer’s instructions  
for type and amount of oil and gasoline used.  
Engine must be level when checking and filling oil and  
gasoline.  
Fig. 3  
ENGINE SPEED: Controlled by throttle lever on the engine.  
Under normal conditions, operate at minimum throttle to  
accomplish your current cleaning task.  
CHOKE: Operated with choke lever on face of engine .  
THROTTLE: Move throttle control on face of engine to fast  
position. Pull starting rope to start engine.  
Optional Gust Adjuster gives operator remote deflector control  
increasing blowing control and distance (see Optional Accessories  
on page 1).  
IFYOUR UNIT FAILSTO START:  
See Troubleshooting on page 8.  
16.2  
BLOWING OPERATION  
16.4  
HANDLING &TRANSPORTING:  
Adjust diverter rod to side discharge for normal blowing or to  
forward discharge for blowing along walls, fences or hard-to-reach  
areas (see Fig. 1).  
Using two people to lift machine is recommended. Lift holding the  
handle and frame. Secure in place during transport or when  
unattended.  
16.5  
STORAGE  
Never store engine indoors or in enclosed poorly venti-  
lated areas with fuel in tank, where fuel fumes may reach an  
open flame, spark or pilot light, as on a furnace, water heater,  
clothes dryer or other gas appliance.  
If engine is to be unused for 30 days or more, prepare as  
follows:  
Remove all gasoline from carburetor and fuel tank to  
prevent gum deposits from forming on these parts and causing  
possible malfunction of engine. Drain fuel outdoors, into an  
approved container, away from open flame. Be sure engine is  
cool. Do not smoke. Run engine until fuel tank is empty and  
engine runs out of gasoline.  
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer (such as Sta-Bil) is an acceptable alternative in minimizing  
the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in  
fuel tank or storage container. Always follow mix ratio found on stabilizer  
container. Run engine at least 10 min. after adding stabilizer to allow it to reach  
the carburetor.
