WARNING
Check to see if the shock-absorbers (A) have become
cracked or otherwise damaged. Note that failing to replace
these rubber and spring mounts when they have become
cracked or damaged may cause the engine to come loose
from its frame during use, thus resulting in possible serious
bodily injury.
If cracked, be sure to replace without delay.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury associated with contacting
rotating parts, stop the engine before installing or removing
attachments. Never take off the Guard Net (B) .
Always disconnect the spark plug before performing main-
tenance or accessing movable parts.
USING THE PRODUCT
WARNING
While using the product, if abnormal noise or vibration
occurs, stop the engine immediately and contact the near-
est Husqvarna servicing dealer for assistance. Checking
the fan is very important. If the rotating fan should break up,
it might lead to serious accidents.
1. This blower is a backpack type, and is shouldered while
operating. It is operated and controlled with the handle on
the tube by right hand.
2. Check the work area that the blower will be used in and
remove or cover all valuables that may be damaged by the air
blast or thrown debris.
3. Make sure you can move and stand
safely. Check the area around you for
possible obstacles (roots, rocks,
branches, ditches, etc.) in case you
have to move suddenly. Take great
care when working on sloping ground.
4. To reduce the risk of injury associated with thrown objects.
a) Watch out for children, pets, open windows or freshly
washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
b) Use the full blower tube extension so the air stream can
work close to the ground.
c) Do not allow bystanders in work area.
d) Do not point the blower
tube in the direction of
people or pets.
e) Always check to be sure
that no debris has been
blown onto someone
else’s property.
f) Pay attention to the direction of the wind, do not work
against the wind.
5. To minimize blowing time.
a) Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
b) In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces or use a
mister attachment when water is available.
c) Conserve water by using power blowers instead of hoses
for many lawn and garden applications, including areas
such as gutters, screens, patios, grills, porches and
gardens.
6. The blower must not be used while on
a ladder or scaffolding.
7. Never put the machine down with the
engine running unless you have it in
clear sight.
8. Never touch the spark plug or plug cord
while the engine is in operation. Doing
so may result in being subjected to an
electrical shock.
9. Never touch the muffler, spark plug, or
other metallic parts of the engine, or
area around the engine cover while the
engine is in operation or immediately
after shutting down the engine. These metallic parts reach
high temperatures during operation and doing so could result
in serious burns.
WARNING
The temperature of the machine may increase after stop-
ping the engine. Especially never forget to cool down the
engine before refueling the machine.
10. If the engine catches fire or in any other emergency situation
that requires you to free yourself from the machine, open the
buckle in the waist belt and drop the machine backward
.
11. After using blowers and other equipment, CLEAN UP!
Dispose of debris in trash receptacles.
