WARNING!
Always make sure the collection bag is correctly attached.
Always be aware of what is being drawn up into the blow/vacuum tube. This product
is only designed for garden debris like leaves and soft garden cuttings.
To Empty the Collection Bag
The collection bag is attached to the blower vac in two places. It is not necessary to remove the
collection bag from the blower vac when the bag needs to be emptied. The rear of the bag has a
full length zipper. Simply open the zipper and empty the contents. Ensure to close the zipper prior
to operating the blower vac again.
WARNING!
Normal usage of the bag causes it to wear and deteriorate over time. A worn or
deteriorated bag allows small objects to be thrown through the bag, possibly injuring
the operator or bystanders. Check the bag frequently. If it is worn or deteriorated,
replace it with a new vacuum bag.
Operating Tips
The following points may assist you in the operation of the blower vac. Always try to vacuum
dry leaves, cuttings or general garden debris. Wet materials are difficult to mulch and can cause
the blower vac to clog. If the leaves or other debris are damp, then use the blower vac in blow
configuration to pile the leaves or other debris into one area, vacuum and mulch the leaves when
dry. Avoid using the vacuum on areas where there are stones, or other hard objects. These objects
will damage the impellor of the blower vac. It is also advisable not to allow the blower vac to pick
up soil. Soil generally contains moisture and when combined with other garden debris can clog the
blower vac. The blower vac is not a garbage disposal unit. Do not attempt to mulch any material
other than general garden debris. For better performance and comfort, it is recommended the
collection bag is emptied when it becomes approximately half full. This reduces the weight and
allows the vacuum to operate at its highest level.
Once a year, hand wash the bag in soapy water and allow it to air dry.
