When working with the blower, always
wrap your fingers tightly around the
handle, keeping the control handle
cradled between your thumb and
forefinger. Keep your hand in this
position to have your machine under
control at all times. Make sure your
control handle is in good condition and
free of moisture, pitch, oil or grease.
The blower fan between the air intake
and output openings rotates whenever
the engine is running. In order to reduce
the risk of injury from contact with the
fan, never operate your unit without a
properly mounted intake screen and
blower tube. Never insert any foreign
object into the air intake or output
openings of the machine.
Follow the maintenance and repair
instructions in the appropriate section of
your owner's manual. Refer to the
maintenance chart at the last pages of
this manual.
!
Warning!
Always stop the engine and make sure
that the fan is stopped before doing any
maintenance or repair work or cleaning
the blower. Do not attempt any mainten-
ance or repair work not described in
your owner's manual. Have such work
performed at your STIHL service shop
only.
Pay attention to the direction of the wind,
i.e., do not work against the wind.
To reduce the risk of stumbling and loss
of control, do not walk backward while
operating the machine.
Check fuel filler cap for leaks at regular
intervals. Use the specified spark plug
and make sure it and the ignition lead
are always in good condition.
MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND
STORING
Maintenance, replacement, or repair
of the emission control devices and
systems may be performed by any
nonroad engine repair establishment
or individual. However if you claim
warranty for a component which has
not been serviced or maintained pro-
perly or if nonapproved replacement
parts were used, STIHL may deny
warranty.
Use only identical STIHL replacement
parts for maintenance and repair.
Use of parts manufactured by others
may cause serious or fatal injury.
!
Warning!
!Warning!
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do
not direct air blast towards bystanders,
since the high pressure of the air flow
could injure eyes and could blow small
objects at great speed. Do not direct air
blast towards pets.
A worn or damaged muffler is a fire
hazard and may cause loss of hearing.
Check to see that the muffler is in good
condition. The blower must not be opera-
ted if the muffler is not functioning pro-
perly or has been removed.
!
Warning!
Remember that the risk of forest fires is
greater in hot weather. Use the spark
arresting muffler supplied with the unit.
Never touch a hot muffler or burn will
result.
Always shut off the engine before
cleaning or servicing the unit or
replacing parts. Always disconnect the
spark plug before performing
maintenance or accessing movable
parts.
