routine maintenance steps are required to maintain the
unit's performance.
After each use, the bag should be cleaned by shaking
it; this will maintain the bag's proper filtering function. If
the bag should be clogged by moist particles, let it dry
before cleaning.
The collecting bag can be cleaned using a garden hose.
Always splash the bag at its exterior side. You can turn
the bag inside out to make cleaning easier. Never store
the bag, when it is still moist. Always make sure that the
bag is completely dry, before you store or use it. The
collecting bag is a wearing part. It is subject to a high
amount of wear and tear, and must therefore be replaced
from time to time. Replace a worn-out bag immediately.
To avoid an unnecessary wear and tear of the collect-
ing bag, prevent the bag from being dragged over the
ground, when using the unit.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Make sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are firmly tight-
ened to ensure the safe operation of the device.
Regularly check the collecting bag for signs of wear
and tear.
Replace worn or damaged parts.
Only use original parts and accessories.
Store the device in a dry place.
REMOvING OBSTRUCTIONS
vACUUM OPENING
Twigs and long objects may cause obstructions to
develop in the vacuum opening on the bottom side of
the vacuum unit. If this should be the case, try to slightly
shake the unit during operation. If this should not solve
the problem, switch the unit off and pull the plug. Remove
he obstruction using a stick or another long, thin object
(do not use metal objects).
To avoid objects that caused an obstruction from being
repeatedly sucked in, it may be necessary to move the
unit slower over the debris to be cleaned up.
vACUUM & BLOWER FUNCTION SWITCH
If the vacuum/blower function switch should be blocked,
operate the switch (6) (Fig. 5), when the unit is running.
Turning the switch several times while air is flowing
through the unit should remove the blockage. Make sure
that you are not standing in front of the blower nozzle,
when you operate the switch.
WASTE DISPOSAL AND ENvIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION
If your device should become useless somewhere in the
future or you do not need it any longer, do not dispose
of the device together with your domestic refuse, but dis-
pose of it in an environmentally friendly manner. Please
dispose of the device itself at an according collecting/re-
cycling point. By doing so, plastic and metal parts can
be separated and recycled. Information concerning the
disposal of materials and devices are available from your
local administration.
