6. USING THE BLOWER VACUUM
Blowing
Install the blower tubes and protective intake cover as explained in the
“Blower Mode Setup”
section of this manual.
Ideal for blowing leaves, grass clippings and other debris from paths,
driveways and deck areas. Also blow material out of places hard to access
like under vehicles or play equipment.
Hold firmly, move the on/off switch to the “I” position, point the jet of air in
front of you and move forward slowly. Move the blower from side to side,
with the nozzle several inches above the ground.
Be careful where you point the jet of air as it can move heavy material and
cause injury or damage to bystanders.
WARNING!
DO NOT SWITCH THE MACHINE
ON IN ENCLOSED OR POORLY VENTILATED
SPACES OR IN THE PRESENCE OF FLAMMABLE
AND/OR EXPLOSIVE LIQUIDS, GASES AND
POWDERS.
Note:
Be aware of other people and animals in the area where you are to
be operating the blower.
Note:
Avoid collisions with hard objects which could damage your
machine.
Vacuum-Mulching
Install the vacuum tubes and collection bag as explained in the
“Vacuum-Mulcher Mode Setup”
section of this manual.
Ideal for collecting dry leaves, grass clippings and other garden debris while
shredding and reducing the volume collected for composting if desired.
Hold firmly, move the on/off switch to the “I” position, point the vacuum tubes
in front of you and move forward slowly resting the guide wheels on the
ground. The guide rollers at the bottom end of the suction tube will help you
to manoeuvre the suction tube on the ground.

STONES, GLASS OR OTHER SOLID OBJECTS,
DOING SO COULD CAUSE MAJOR DAMAGE TO
THE IMPELLOR AND COLLECTION BAG.
• Only use the blower vac in vacuum mode if the collection bag is undamaged
and properly fitted.
• Do not pick up too many leaves in one go as this could clog the tube and
the mulcher.
• To clear any blockages, follow the steps described in the section
“
