Operating Tips WARNING Discharged air has considerable force and could cause injury or loss of footing. • Stay away from the nozzle opening while the machine is operating. • Keep bystanders away from the nozzle opening while the machine is running. • Practice operating the blower. Blow the same direction that the wind is blowing to prevent material from blowing back into the cleared area. • Be alert, slow down, and use caution when making turns. Look behind and to the side before changing directions.
Maintenance Lubricating the Blower Service Interval: Every 50 hours Maintenance Safety – Wait for all moving parts to stop. The debris blower has bearings and bushings that must be lubricated regularly. If the machine is operated under normal conditions, lubricate bearings with No. 2 lithium grease. Lubricate fittings immediately after every washing, regardless of the interval listed. – Remove the machine from the traction unit. The lubrication points are as follows: – Lower the jack stand.
Lubricating the Driveshaft Service Interval: Before each use or daily The mounting kit drive shaft has bearings and bushings that you must lubricate regularly.
