GENERAL SETUP & OPERATION, GASOLINE AND PROPANE BLOWER SERIES
MODEL SVB-G8 & SVB-G8P
Gasoline engines produce carbon monoxide. The exhaust snorkel MUST be used
while operating this blower. Do not operate gas or propane blowers in explosive
or potentially hazardous environments.
All new gasoline and propane blowers must be run for 30 minutes to burn off
residual oils and paint residue before placing them into service.
STEP 1)
Operate blower in the vertical position only. Place in a clean fresh air environment away from
toxic gases and dust. Set blower a minimum of 5 ft. from the manhole opening. Note: Inspect
blower for damaged or worn parts. Inspect all ducting and couplings for possible air leaks
prior to blower operation.
STEP 2)
Install exhaust hose assembly securely to pipe union on the engine muffler. Locate end of exhaust
snorkel down wind and away from blower intake and manhole area as shown below. Periodically
check muffler union to assure a tight connection. DO NOT PICK UP BLOWER USING
MUFFLER ASSEMBLY AS A HANDLE!! SEVERE BURNS MAY RESULT!!
STEP 3)
Install duct cuff to exhaust flange and tighten cinch strap. Keep bends and kinks in ducting to
a minimum to maximize air flow. DO NOT run gasoline or propane blowers without attach-
ing ventilation ducting as excessive vibration may cause blower damage.
STEP 4) ENGINE START UP
Check engine oil level prior to operation. (Fill to proper level if necessary). DO NOT overfill.

CAUTION:
Note: Air quality of the confined space should be tested prior to
ventilation. If air quality of the confined space is unacceptable,
consult a trained professional.
CORRECT
STEP 5)
For Propane Models, connect regulator to propane
tank as shown at left. Propane gas models are sup-
plied with a liquid propane conversion kit. DO NOT
substitute components or regulation device.
For Gasoline Models, check fuel level and fill with
unleaded gasoline. Note: Allow engine to cool
before refueling.
