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 will lead to serious accidents.

remove or cover all valuables that may be damaged by the
air blast or thrown debris.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. The blower must not be used while on
a ladder or scaffolding.
5. Never put the machine down with the

so may result in being subjected to an
electrical shock.
