Tips for using your blower vac
The following points may assist you in the operation
of the blower vac.
•
Always try and vacuum dry leaves, cuttings or general
garden debris.
•
Wet material is difficult to mulch and also can cause the
blower vac to clog.
•
If the leaves etc. are damp, then use the blower vac in
blow selection to pile the leaves etc. into one area, vac
and mulch the leaves when dry.
•
Avoid using the vac on areas where there are stones, or
other hard objects. These objects will damage the impeller
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 also
allows the vac operation to perform at its highest level.
Maintenance and storage information
Prior to cleaning or any maintenance, always ensure
the power plug has been removed from the electrical
power supply.
When you have finished using the blower vac, always check
to make sure the product is clean and free of dirt and debris.
This is important around the selector lever flap which is
just inside the round outlet. To check this area, remove the
collection bag and ensure this area inside the outlet tube is
free of debris and dirt.
Operate the selector lever backwards and forwards to
ensure correct operation.
Do not hose or submerge any part of the blower vac.
Do not use solvents to clean the blower vac.
Store the blower vac in a dry place, and out of reach
of children.
Power cord maintenance
If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be carried
out by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s agent, or an
authorised service centre in order to avoid a safety hazard.
