BLOWER/VACUUM SAFETY
_WARNING: Inspect area before
starting unit. Remove all debris and
hard objects such as rocks, glass,
wire, etc. that can ricochet, be thrown,
or otherwise cause injury or damage
during operation.
• Do not set unit on any surface except
a clean, hard area while engine is
running. Debris such as gravel, sand,
dust, grass, etc., could be picked up
by the air intake and thrown out
through discharge opening, damaging
unit, property, or causing serious injury
to bystanders or operator.
• Never place objects inside the blow-
er tubes, vacuum tubes or blower
outlet. Always direct the blowing de-
bris away from people, animals,
glass, and solid objects such as
trees, automobiles, walls, etc. The
force of air can cause rocks, dirt, or
sticks to be thrown or to ricochet
which can hurt people or animals,
break glass, or cause other damage.
• Never run unit without the proper
equipment attached. When using
your unit as a blower, always install
blower tubes.
• Check air intake opening, blower
tubes or vacuum tubes frequently,
always with engine stopped and
spark plug disconnected. Keep
vents and discharge tubes free of
debris which can accumulate and
restrict proper air flow.
• Never place any object in air intake
opening as this could restrict proper
air flow and cause damage to the unit.
• Never use for spreading chemicals,
fertilizers, or other substances which
may contain toxic materials.
• To avoid spreading fire, do not use
near leaf or brush fires, fireplaces,
barbecue pits, ashtrays, etc.

cause serious injury. Keep away from
rotating tines. Stop the engine and dis-
connect the spark plug before unclog-
ging tines or making repairs.
,_ WARNING: Inspect the area to
be cultivated before starting the unit.
Remove all debris and hard and sharp
objects such as rocks, vines,
branches, rope, string, etc.
• Avoid heavy contact with solid objects
that might stop the tines. If heavy con-
tact occurs, stop the engine and in-
spect the unit for damage.
• Never operate the cultivator without
the tine cover in place and properly
secured.
• Keep the tines and guard clear of
debris.
• After striking a foreign object, stop
the engine, disconnect the spark
plug and inspect the cultivator for
damage. Repair before restarting.
• Disconnect attachment from the drive
engine before cleaning the tines with
a hose and water to remove any
build-up. Oil the tines to prevent rust.
• Always wear gloves when servicing or
cleaning the tines. The tines become
very sharp from use.
• Do not run unit at high speed unless
cultivating.
