Operating The Vacuum - Ryobi RY42110 Manuel D'utilisation

 Conserve water by using power blowers instead of hoses
for many lawn and garden applications, including areas
such as gutters, screens, patios, grills, porches, and
gardens.
 Watch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly
washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
 Hold the blower with the handle in your right hand.
 Operate power equipment at reasonable hours only —
not early in the morning or late at night when people
might be disturbed. Comply with the times listed in local
ordinances.
 After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP!
Dispose of debris properly.

OPERATING THE VACUUM

See Figure 10.
WARNING:
Never run the unit without the vacuum tube and vacuum
bag installed. Use of an improperly assembled unit could
result in serious personal injury.
 Switch the quick change lever UP so it points to the
vacuum symbol.
 Start the blower/vac. Refer to Starting and Stopping
earlier in this manual.
OPERATION
 Place the shoulder strap over your shoulder and hold the
handle knobs in your hands.
 Move the unit from side to side along outer edge of the
debris. To avoid clogging, do not place the vacuum tube
directly into the debris pile.
 Hold the motor higher than the inlet end of the vacuum
tube.
 Always point vacuum tube downhill when working on a
hillside.
 To avoid injury to the operator or unit, do not pick up
rocks, broken glass, bottles, any type of metal objects,
or other similar objects.
 If the blower/vacuum tube should clog, stop the motor,
unplug the power cord, and wait for all moving parts to
stop before cleaning out the obstruction. Remove the
vacuum tube and clear the debris from the blower fan
housing. Remove the vacuum bag and clear the tube. A
small rod or stick may be required to clear the entire tube
length. Ensure that all debris has been cleared before
reassembling the vacuum tubes.
EMPTYING THE VACUUM BAG
It is not necessary to remove the vacuum bag from the
blower/vac when the bag needs to be emptied. The rear side
of the bag has a full length zipper to open it for emptying.
Simply open the zipper and empty the contents. Be sure to
close the zipper prior to operating the blower.
