blower pipe opening.
1. Use only during appropriate hours.
2. Allow the engine to warm up at a fast idle for a few minutes.
3. PB-755SH

PB-755ST
Control engine speed with throttle trigger (C), or throttle position
lever (A). Rotate throttle position lever forward for lower speed,
back for higher speed.
4. Use lower speed to blow dry leaves from walks, patios and
drives.
5. Additional speed may be necessary to clean grass and leaves from
a lawn or flower bed.
6. Higher speed may be necessary to move gravel, dirt, snow, bottles
or cans from a driveway, street, parking lot or stadium.
NOTE
Never use a higher speed setting than necessary to perform a task.
Remember, the higher the engine speed, the louder the blower
noise. Minimize dust by using blower at lower speeds and by
dampening material with water/mist when necessary. Keep debris
on your property.
Be Smart - be a good neighbor.

IMPORTANT
Use reduced speed only when performing light-duty tasks or
to comply with local noise regulations. Continuous low speed
operation may allow fuel/oil residue to build-up on the piston
and cause rapid build-up of carbon on the spark arrestor screen,
resulting in overheating and engine damage. To reduce harmful
build-up, run engine at wide open throttle for at least 5 minutes
every hour, and inspect/clean the spark arrestor screen after ap-
proximately 40 hours of operation.
