blower before cleaning debris from the bower
intake grille.
1. Turn the blower onto its right side
(Fig. 9).
2. Carefully brush any debris off the air intake
grille (1).
NOTES:
a) Use a soft dry brush or a dry rag to remove
the debris.
b) NEVER use water or any other liquid as
you will damage the motor and/or the
screen.
c) NEVER insert a screwdriver or other small
tool into the intake grille. You may break
the grille or the blower fan.
3. When all the debris is removed from the
grille, turn the blower onto its left side and
shake out any loose debris that may have
fallen through the grille into the blower fan.
