SAFETY
WARNING: Used in this manual, this symbol points out important safety instructions which, if
not followed, could endanger the personal safety and/or property of yourself and others. Read and
follow all instructions in this manual before attempting to operate this machine. Failure to comply
with these instructions may result in personal injury.
WARNING: Engine Exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain
or emit chemicals known to State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
DANGER: This machine was built to be operated according to the rules for safe operation in
this manual. As with any type of power equipment, carelessness or error on the part of the operator
can result in serious injury. This machine is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing
objects. Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in serious injury or death.
DANGER:
•Do not operate on steep slopes. If vehicle can back up without the wheels slipping, reduce
speed and use extreme caution.
•Do not use on slopes greater than 15 degrees.
•Follow OSHA approved operation.
Engine Information
The engine manufacturer is responsible for all engine-related issues with regards to performance,
power-rating, specifications, warranty and service. Please refer to the engine manufacturer's
Owner's/Operator's Manual packed separately with your unit for more information.
General Operation
•Read this operator's manual carefully in its entirety before attempting to assemble this
machine. Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the machine and in the manual(s)
before operation. Be completely familiar with the controls and the proper use of the machine
before operating it. Keep this manual in a safe place for future and regular reference and for
ordering replacement parts.
•Your leaf blower is a powerful tool, not a plaything. Therefore, exercise extreme caution at
all times. Your unit has been designed to perform one job; to blow leaves, lawn clippings,
and debris. Do not use it for any other purpose.
•Always wear safety glasses or safety goggles during operation and while performing an
adjustment or repair, to protect eyes from debris or foreign objects that may be thrown from
machine.
•Wear close fitting slacks and shirt. Shirt and slacks that cover the arms and legs are
recommended. Do not wear loose fitting clothes or jewelry and secure hair so it is above
shoulder length. They can be caught in moving parts.
•Do not operate the unit while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
•Never place your hands or any part of your body or clothing near rotating parts. Keep clear
of the discharge opening at all times. Never insert your hands, fingers, feet, or any other
part of your body or clothing into the discharge or air intake openings as the rotating impeller
inside the housing can cause serious injury.
•Never operate unit without directional discharge chute and plastic impeller housing properly
affixed to unit. These devices shield the operator from accidental contact with the rotating
impeller.
•Keep all guards and safety devices in place and operating properly.

Front Mount Blower
(12-2022) 7
•Exercise caution when operating blower. Do not allow the discharge to point in the direction
of bystanders or pets.
•If your machine should start making an unusual noise or vibration, immediately stop the
engine, disconnect the spark plug wire and move the wire away from the spark plug. Allow
the machine to stop and take the following steps:
oInspect for damage.
oRepair or replace any damaged parts.
oCheck for any loose parts and tighten to ensure continued safe operation.
•Muffler and engine become hot and can cause a burn. Do not touch.
•Do not allow leaves or other debris to build up on engine's muffler. The debris could ignite
and cause a fire.
•Do not operate engine if air cleaner or cover over carburetor air intake is removed, except
for adjustment. Removal of such parts could create a fire hazard.
•Only use accessories approved for this machine by the manufacturer. Read, understand,
and follow all instructions provided with the approved accessory.
•Only operate unit in good daylight. Do not operate unit at night or in dark areas where your
vision may be impaired.
•Keep the cooling system (blower housing area) clean to permit proper air circulation which
is essential to engine performance and life. Be certain to remove all grass, dirt, and
combustible debris from muffler area.
•If situations occur which are not covered by this manual, use care and good judgment.
Contact your dealer for assistance.
Service
•Use extreme care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They are extremely flammable and
the vapors are explosive.
•Store fuel and oil in approved containers, away from heat and open flame, and out of the
reach of children.
•Check and add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the
engine is running. Allow engine to cool at least two minutes before refueling.
•Replace gasoline cap securely and wipe off any spilled gasoline before starting the engine
as it may cause a fire or explosion.
•Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition.
•Never refuel unit indoors because flammable vapors will accumulate in the area.
•Never store the machine or fuel container inside where there is an open flame or spark such
as a gas hot water heater, clothes dryer or furnace.
•Never run your machine in an enclosed area as the exhaust from the engine contains
carbon monoxide, which is an odorless, tasteless and deadly poisonous gas.
•To reduce fire hazard, keep engine and muffler free of leaves, grass, and other debris build-
up.
•Clean up fuel and oil spillage. Allow unit to cool at least 5 minutes before storing.
•Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the impeller and all moving parts
have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep wire away from spark plug to
prevent accidental starting. Do not use flammable solutions to clean air filter.
•Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
•Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.
•Do not alter or tamper with the engine's governor setting. The governor controls the
maximum safe operating speed of the engine. Over speeding the engine is dangerous and
will cause damage to the engine and to other moving parts of the machine.
Gas And Oil Fill-Up
•Service the engine with gasoline and oil as instructed in the separate engine manual packed
with the blower. Read instructions carefully.
•WARNING: Use extreme care when handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely
flammable and the vapors are explosive. Never fuel machine indoors or while the engine is
hot or running. Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition.

•When engine starts, move choke control gradually to RUN position.
MAINTAINING Your Leaf Blower
WARNING: Before performing any maintenance or repairs, stop the engine, wait until the
machine comes to a complete stop, disconnect the spark plug wire and ground against the engine to
prevent unintended starting.

•Engine: Follow the separate engine manual packed with your unit for lubrication instructions.
•Engine: Refer to the separate engine manual for all engine maintenance instructions.
Maintain engine oil as instructed in the separate engine manual packed with your unit.
•Service air cleaner every 25 hours under normal conditions. Poor engine performance and
flooding usually indicate that the air cleaner should be serviced. To service the air cleaner,
refer to the separate engine manual packed with your unit.
•The spark plug should be cleaned and the gap reset once a season. Spark plug
replacement is recommended at the start of each season. Clean the engine regularly with a
cloth or brush.
•Keep the cooling system (blower housing area) clean to permit proper air circulation which
is essential to engine performance and life. Be certain to remove all grass, dirt, and
combustible debris from muffler area.
Storing Your Leaf Blower
•Clean the equipment thoroughly.
•Wipe equipment with an oiled rag to prevent rust.
•Refer to engine manual for correct engine storage instructions.
•Store unit in a clean, dry area. Do not store next to corrosive materials such as fertilizer.
