Husqvarna 360BT Backpack Blower

The Husqvarna 360BT is a gas backpack blower with a 65.6 cc X-Torq engine, built for crews that need to clear a big site quickly. After a removal it moves sawdust, leaves and chip spray off lawns, drives and roofs fast.

Cleanup is part of the job

The customer judges the job by how the yard looks when you leave. After rigging down a tree and chipping the brush, there is sawdust in the grass, leaves on the drive and chip spray in the beds. The Husqvarna 360BT has the output to push that debris into piles quickly, even when it is damp.

As a backpack unit, the weight rides on your shoulders and hips instead of your arm, which matters when cleanup takes half an hour on a big site.

Running and maintenance

Run fresh, properly mixed two-stroke fuel and keep the air filter clean, since a blower pulls in a lot of dust. Check the harness and tube clamps regularly. Wear hearing and eye protection, and keep the nozzle pointed away from people, cars and windows.

At the end of the season, run the carburetor dry or use stabilized fuel to avoid gumming. See other blowers and power equipment for jobsite cleanup.

Fit the harness so the weight sits on your hips, and set the tube length so the nozzle rides low and points ahead of you. Working with the wind and moving debris in stages, toward the chipper or a tarp, saves time and keeps the job looking tidy when the customer walks out.
