INTRODUCTION
Product Description
The KA160 power blower features a vertical shaft design that delivers powerful, yet quiet performance. It
can be used to remove leaves, light snow, water, and other debris.
The blower housing can be rotated 180 degrees using the power unit’s secondary SDLA control lever. This
allows the operator to move debris in the desired direction without hindering operation. Maximum perfor-
mance is produced throughout the 180 degree arc.
An adjustable deflector shield allows the operator to further control the blower discharge.
Two gauge wheels enable the power blower to follow the ground and maintain a consistent distance from
the surface that is being cleared.
