for future and regular reference and for ordering 
replacement parts.

Know how to stop the machine and disengage them 
quickly.

3.

Never allow children under 16 years old to operate this 
machine. Children 16 years old and over should read and 
understand the operation instructions and safety rules in 
this manual and should be trained and supervised by a 
parent.

odorless and deadly gas.

7.

Do not put hands and feet near rotating parts or in the 
feeding chambers and discharge opening. Contact with 
the rotating impeller can amputate fingers, hands, and 
feet.

Never attempt to unclog either the feed intake or 
discharge opening, remove or empty vacuum bag, or 
inspect and repair the machine while the engine is 
running. Shut the engine off and wait until all moving 
parts have come to a complete stop. Disconnect the 
spark plug wire and ground it against the engine.

Preparation   
1.

Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to 
be used. Remove all rocks, bottles, cans, or other foreign 
objects which could be picked up or thrown and cause 
personal injury or damage to the machine. 

2.

Always wear safety glasses or safety goggles during 
operation or while performing an adjustment or repair, to 
protect eyes. Thrown objects which ricochet can cause 
serious injury to the eyes.

tightness to be sure the machine is in safe working 
condition. Also, visually inspect machine for any damage 
at frequent intervals.

(e.g. furnace, water heater, space heater, clothes 
dryer, etc.)

grass, leaves, or other debris build-up. Clean up 
oil or fuel spillage and remove any fuel soaked 
debris.
