  WARNING 

Flying debris hazard.  Never operate unit as a vacuum unless 

discharge elbow is installed and debris bag is securely cinched to 

elbow.  Failure to follow instructions can result in serious injuries.

 

  1.  Adjust debris bag strap to support bag on operator’s shoulder. 

Bag must not be folded at intake area, or intake will clog. Further 

adjustment may be necessary as the debris bag fills and becomes 

heavier.

  2.  Grip throttle handle with left hand, and support handle with right 

hand. Keep unit to your right side so hot exhaust will be directed 

away from you.

 

  3.  Operate unit with beveled end of tube facing downward. Keep 

tube opening close to material being vacuumed for best results. 

 

NOTE  

Vacuum action works best at higher engine speeds. Avoid using 

vacuum in areas where rocks or other large, hard debris may be 

vacuumed into unit. Clear these areas with blower first, blowing 

light debris into a pile. Use attachment to vacuum pile.
