Powerful, quiet, low exhaust emission backpack blower.

Reduce the noise without sacrificing the power. The STIHL BR 500 features a powerful, low exhaust emission and specially designed muffled blower tube so that it operates at a quiet 65 dB(A). This makes the BR 500 an excellent choice for use in residential neighborhoods or in municipalities with noise restrictions. The blower also includes a 2-position adjustable blower tube, giving you greater control over its powerful air flow.

Features may include:

• The STIHL Inc. ?Caring for Nature? seal identifies its powered products that are more environmentally conscious, producing zero or low exhaust emissions. STIHL Inc. defines ?low exhaust emissions? as being cleaner than EPA and/or CARB exhaust emission standards.

• A majority of STIHL products sold in America are made in America of U.S. and global materials.

• The purge pump primer feature enables the user to prime the carburetor with fuel, enabling easier starting. The purge pump primer is designed in a way that the operator cannot flood the machine by priming the carburetor too many times. Flooding the engine is still possible if the choke is not removed after the engine fires.

• The built-in stop switch allows the user to turn off the engine with a simple press of the button or lever. When the engine is off, the throttle lock automatically returns to the ?start? setting. Your power tool will be ready to be started when you?re ready to get back to work.

• Having easy access to all of the controls on one comfortable handle makes it easy to complete tasks so the operator?s hand never has to leave the handle.
