OPERATING AS A VACUUM
1. Start the engine. See Starting/Stopping Instructions.
2. Set the blower/vacuum mode change-over lever to
the down position (vacuum mode) (Fig. 18).
NOTE: Never use the unit with the change-over le-
ver halfway in between either position.
3. Place the shoulder harness over your head, onto
your shoulder, and adjust it properly. See Installing
and Adjusting the Shoulder Harness.
4. Hold the vacuum, tilting the blower/vacuum tube
slightly and use a sweeping action to collect light
debris (Fig. 19). Small leaves and twigs will low
into the vacuum bag and be mulched as they pass
through the impeller housing, allowing the vacuum
bag to hold more debris.
CLEARING A BLOCKED TUBE/IMPELLER
1. Put the ignition switch in the OFF position [O] (Fig.
10) and wait for the impeller to fully stop rotating.
2. Disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent the unit
from starting.
3. Remove the blower/vacuum tube and the vacuum
bag.

peller. Inspect the blades to assure no damage has
occurred. Rotate the impeller blades by hand to as-
sure the blockage is completely cleared.
5. Reinstall the vacuum bag and blower/vacuum tube.
6. Reconnect the spark plug wire.

tach the vacuum bag from the vacuum bag hook on
the vacuum tube.

bage bag or container.

ously shake out dust and debris.
5. Zip the bag closed and reinstall vacuum bag.
