in a safe working condition. Be sure all parts are assembled
properly.

worn parts:
Contact your authorized service dealer for replacement of
damaged or worn parts.

the switch to the OFF position. Make sure motor stops;
then restart motor and continue.

parts. Clean the unit using a damp cloth.
• Wipe off unit with a clean dry cloth.
Clean collection bag:
IMPORTANT:
THE COLLECTION BAG MUST BE PROPERLY
EMPTIED.
• You must properly empty and maintain the collection bag to
avoid deterioration and obstruction of air flow.
• Remove the collection bag from the unit and empty after each
use. Do not store bag without emptying the bag of all contents
(grass, leaves, etc.).
• Wash the bag once a year. Remove the bag from the blower
and turn the bag inside out. Wash the bag with a water hose.
Allow the bag to hang and dry completely before you reuse
the bag.
WARNING:
If the unit becomes clogged, stop the unit and unplug the
extension cord. Wait until the impeller has completely stopped turning,
then remove the vacuum tubes. Carefully reach into the vacuum opening
and clear out the clogged debris.
This will reduce possible personal injury from the impeller.
