the unit is placed on a firm, level surface,

•  the collecting bag is hooked in,

•  the suction trunk is adjusted to the correct height,

hot surface.  

Risk of injury due to light 

flammable substances.

Installing the collecting bag

•   If you use a dust cover in addition to the dust bag, this 

must be put in first. Slide the smaller opening of the 

black dust cover over the frame of the rolling bag. Pull 

the edge over the upper frame of the rolling bag with 

the elastic band. Then insert the bag with the closed 

side first into the dust cover and pull the edge over the 

upper frame of the rolling bag with an elastic band. Now 

you can push the Rolling Bag with collecting bag under 

the handle of the leaf and waste vacuum cleaner from 

behind and fix it with the quick release fastener.

Empty the collection bag

•  Shut down the motor before removing the rolling bag 

or collecting bag.

•  Push the Rolling Bag upwards and release the locking 

lever (note pawl). Lower the rolling bag and pull out of 

the leaf vacuum. Remove the bag and empty it or tip 

over the rolling bag and pour out the waste or leaves. 

The coupling is done in reverse order.

Insert wet collection bag

•  Proceed exactly the same way when inserting the wet 

collection bag as when installing the leaf sack.

DANGER:

Never operate the leaf and waste suction unit 

without a collection bag.

Stop the engine before opening or removing 

the bag.

Risk of serious injuries.
