Operating Techniques

1. Operate power equipment only at reasonable hours
- not early in the morning or late at night when people
may be disturbed. Comply with the times listed in
local ordinances. Usual recommendations for hours of
operation are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through
Saturday.
2. To reduce noise levels, limit the number of pieces of
equipment used at any one time and operate power
blowers at the lowest possible throttle speed to do the
job.
3. Check your equipment before operation, especially
the muffler, air intakes and air filters.
4. Use rakes or brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
5. In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces or use a
mister attachment when water is available.
6. 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.
7. Use the full blower nozzle extension so the air stream
can work close to the ground.
8. Watch out for children, pets, open windows, or
freshly washed cars and blow debris safely away.
After using blowers and other equipment, CLEAN

UP! Dispose of debris in trash receptacles.
