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.

Deflector adjusted downward
increases air velocity for
cleaning crevices and

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.

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.

longer bolt of the same diameter and thread type as the
impeller bolt. Thread longer bolt by hand into the crankshaft
until bolt bottoms. Using a suitable gear or wheel puller
against the bolt head and the impeller back-plate (near the
blades), remove impeller from shaft.
ENGINE: See engine manufacturer
operator's instructions.
RECONNECT SPARK PLUGWIRE AND
GUARDS BEFORE STARTING ENGINE.
