Diagram illustrating safety warning symbols and mechanical components, including sunburst, gear, warning triangle, and rotating parts.

Position the gearbox so that the axle for sweeping and cleaning attachments is above the drive shaft.

WARNING

The sweeping attachment must be properly tightened and in safe operating condition. Inspect for loose parts (hitch pins, screws, etc.) and for damaged parts. Replace damaged parts before using the power tool.

Keep the handles clean and dry at all times; it is particularly important to keep them free of moisture, pitch, oil, fuel mix, grease or resin in order for you to maintain a firm grip and properly control your power tool.

Keep the deflector adjusted properly at all times (see chapter on "Assembling the Unit" of your instruction manual).

Adjust carrying harness and hand grip to suit your size before starting work. The machine should be properly balanced as specified in your instruction manual for proper control and less fatigue in operation. To be better prepared in case of an emergency, practice releasing the unit from the harness as quickly as possible.

Starting

WARNING

Start the engine at least 10 feet (3 m) from the fueling spot, outdoors only.

For specific starting instructions, see the appropriate section of your KombiEngine and KombiTool manuals.

Place the power tool on firm ground or other solid surface in an open area. Maintain good balance and secure footing.

If you start the engine the working tool will rotate when the engine starts – this may set the sweeping attachment in motion back towards the operator.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury from loss of control, be absolutely sure that the working tool is clear of you and all other obstructions and objects, because when the engine starts at starting-throttle, engine speed will be fast enough for the clutch to engage and move the working tool.

Once the engine has started, immediately blip the throttle trigger, which should release the starting throttle and allow the engine to slow down to idle.

With the engine running only at idle, attach the power tool to the spring hook of your harness if you are using one (see appropriate chapter of this manual).

WARNING

Your power tool is a one-person machine. Do not allow other persons in the general work area, even when starting.
