You must run blowers.
Why must I? I've never heard a reasonable explanation of why running the blowers would be any safer.

You must run blowers.
You run the blower with the gen for the same reason you run it with the mains. It is to evacuate any gas fumes that may occur.
FWIW, my manual says to run the blowers the entire time the gen is running.
I don't think you'll ever be satisfied with any answer. The manufacturer calls for it, maybe a buildup of gas fumes might cause an explosion, who knows? You'll either do it or you won't and I don't know how you'd be convinced to change your mind.Baa. Baa. Even though the manuals 'says so', I remain puzzled as to WHY it would be safer.
Also, you are supposed to run the blowers with the engine running until you get past idle speed and the natural air flow takes over. I guess it's for the same "reason".
