vAcUUM OPERATION
See Figure 8.
wARNING:
Never run the unit without the vacuum tubes and vacuum
bag installed. Use of an improperly assembled unit could
result in serious personal injury.
Install the vacuum tubes and bag. Refer to the Assembly
section earlier in this manual.
Place the vacuum bag strap over your shoulder and hold
the handle knobs in your hands. (Proper operating posi-
tion is shown in fig. 8.)
Start the blower/vac. Refer to
Starting and Stopping
earlier in this manual.
OPERATION
Move the unit from side to side along outer edge of the
debris. To avoid clogging, do not place the vacuum tube
directly into the debris pile.
Hold the motor higher than the inlet end of the vacuum
tube.
Always point vacuum tube downhill when working on a
hillside.
To avoid injury to the operator or unit, do not pick up
rocks, broken glass, bottles, any type of metal objects,
or other similar objects.
If the vacuum tubes should clog, stop the motor, unplug
the power cord, and wait for all moving parts to stop
before cleaning out the obstruction. Remove the vacuum
tubes and clear the debris from the blower fan housing.
Remove the bag and clear the tube. A small rod or stick
may be required to clear the entire tube length. Ensure
that all debris has been cleared before reassembling the
vacuum tubes.
