OPERATION
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Read the Operator Manual and Engine Manual.
Become familiar with the controls, how each func-
tions, and what it operates.
2. Check the engine oil level and add if necessary.
3 Fill the fuel tank with good quality, clean, unleaded
regular gasoline (petrol). Use a funnel to avoid
spilling.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Air flow can be directed to the side or front by the
two-position vertical deflector. The front discharge
position is used to remove debris from along walls,
fences, etc. The side discharge position is used to
form windrows or piles. The horizontal deflector
directs air downward to "chisel" under wet, heavy
leaves and litter. Air speed is regulated by the
throttle setting.
To reduce windrowing or to blow over an obstacle,
point deflector upward.
To avoid blowing in an area, close deflector and
reduce throttle setting.
Slight changes in deflector position will have a big
effect on air flow. Experiment until you find the best
position for your needs.
When clearing a yard or parking lot, planning how to
blow it off can greatly reduce the total clearing time.
To operate the machine, select the desired speed
with the speed/direction lever. Gradually engage the
clutch bail until the machine begins to move. Con-
tinue to move the bail until it contacts the handle.
To stop the machine's powered movement, release
the bail.
Use the speed selector to change speeds.
-Do not "feather" or partially engage the clutch to
slow speed. Doing so will rapidly wear the drive disc.
Change the setting of the speed/direction lever to
vary speed.
-The speed/direction lever may be moved while the
clutch bail is engaged. However, it will operate more

easily if it is moved while the clutch bail is released,
particularly if going from forward to reverse.
Curbs may be climbed by backing up the curb at an
angle or by tipping the machine back and driving the
front wheel over the curb. The back may then be lifted
and the machine pushed forward onto the curb.
To stop the engine, move the throttle control to the
slow position and switch the engine off.
Slow the engine when moving from work site to work
site. This will save fuel and prevent inadvertently
blowing debris where you don't want to.
NOTE: When transporting the machine by truck or
trailer, close the fuel valve. This avoids the possibil-
ity of flooding should any dirt get under the carburetor
float needle. Leaving the valve open can allow severe
flooding which may ruin the engine by diluting the oil.
