WARNING: Failure to attach bag hooks to lower cross bar can cause premature wear of bag and neck at

WARNING: The engine contains NO OIL. Read the Engine Instruction Manual carefully before operating
the VAC 35. Be sure you know how to start and stop the engine before proceeding further. Do not start the
engine until all assembly is finished.

housing attached, serious injury may result by drawing clothing or parts of the body into the fan. If engine is
run without Spin-Pak® or dust bag, small stones or other objects may be picked up and propelled at
operator or bystanders through the unprotected opening causing serious injury.
