safety rules regarding outdoor power equipment (cont.) 

 
• Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain 
could overturn the unit. Tall grass can hide 
obstacles. 
• Keep all movement on the slopes slow and 
gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or 
direction. 

• Do not start or stop on a slope. If tires lose 
traction, proceed slowly straight down the slope. 
• Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, 
turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible. 
• Do not use near drop-offs, ditches, or 
embankments. The operator could lose footing or 
balance or blower could suddenly turn over if a 
wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an 
edge caves in. 
• Do not operate on slopes with wet grass. Reduced 
footing or traction could cause sliding. 
• Do not use on excessively steep slopes. 

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not 
alert to the presence of children. Children are often 
attracted to the unit and its activity. Never assume 
that children will remain where you last saw them. 
• Keep children out of the blowing area and under 
the watchful care of another responsible adult. 
• Be alert and turn unit off if children enter the area. 
• Before and during reverse operation, look behind 
and down for small children. 
• Never allow children to operate the unit. 
• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, 
shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure 
vision. 

• Engine exhaust from this product contains 
chemicals known, in certain quantities, to cause 
cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. 
• Look for the relevant Emissions Durability Period 
and Air Index information on the engine emissions 
label. 

• Always observe safe refueling and fuel handling 
practices when refueling the unit after 
transportation or storage.  

• Always follow the engine manual instructions for 
storage preparations before storing the unit for both 
short and long term periods.

 

• Always follow the engine manual instructions for 
proper start-up procedures when returning the unit 
to service. 
• Never store the machine or fuel container inside 
where there is an open flame, such as in a water 
heater. Allow unit to cool before storing. 
• Shut off fuel while storing or transporting. Do not 
store fuel near flames or drain indoors. 
• Keep all hardware, especially impeller bolt, tight 
and keep all parts in good working condition. 
Replace all worn or damaged decals. 
• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their 
proper operation regularly. 
• Clean leaves and debris from mufflers and engine 
to prevent fires. Clean up oil or fuel spillage. 
• Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an 
object. Repair, if necessary, before restarting. 
• Never make adjustments or repairs with the 
engine running unless specified otherwise. 
• Park machine on level ground. Never allow 
untrained personnel to service machine. 
• Carefully release pressure from components with 
stored energy. (e.g. springs) 
• Only replace impellers. Never straighten or weld 
them. 
• Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.  
• Frequently check components and replace with 
manufacturer’s recommended parts, when 
necessary. 
• Use only factory authorized replacement parts 
when making repairs. 
• Always comply with factory specifications on all 
settings and adjustments. 
• Only authorized service locations should be 
utilized for major service and repair requirements. 
• Never attempt to make major repairs on this unit 
unless you have been properly trained. Improper 
service procedures can result in hazardous 
operation, equipment damage and voiding of 
manufacturer’s warranty.
