small twigs, weeds, grass clippings, etc. Do not
use this unit for any other purpose.
Do not attempt to vacuum rocks, broken glass,
bottles, tin cans or other such objects. Damage

compressing vacuum bag, follow this proce-
dure:
1. Remove and inspect vacuum tubes.
2. Carefully clean out nozzle.
3. Reinstall vacuum tubes.
