Inserting the Vacuum Elbow into the Bag:
1.
Locate the small opening in the vacuum bag. Insert the flared end of the vacuum elbow approximately 4” in.
inside the small opening (Fig. 09, Pag. 05).
2.
Pull the end of the cinch strap to secure the small opening of the bag around the vacuum elbow. Tighten the cinch
strap so that the bag has limited movement along the elbow, but will not slip off the flared end.
Fueling
Use good quality gasoline mixed with 4% (25:1) 2-stroke oil in the fuel tank. The tank holds 500 ml.
Gas
Always use good quality gas and do not store it for more than 30 days, since this can damage the engine operation.
The tank has a 414 ml capacity. Let the engine cool for at least two minutes before refilling with gas so as to avoid the
possibility of an explosion. Never leave gas in the tank. Use the lawn mower until the gas finishes in order to prevent
it from accumulating in the carburetor.

Using the cruise control
1.
Once the engine has started and warmed up, squeeze the trigger to accelerate the unit as needed.

3.
To decrease engine speed, move the cruise control to the SLOW (-) position and the trigger will return to
