Intake/ Air Outlet Tube; Fitting The Debris Collection Bag; Adjustable Front Handle; Fitting The Shoulder Harness - IKRA IELS 3000 E Manuel D'utilisation

Assembly
Intake/ Air outlet tube (Pic.2)
• The suction/blowing pipes must be assembled before
the machine is used.
• Push two sections (4 + 5) firmly together until the clip
in the moulding engages.
• Tighten the 2 screws A and B.
• Slide the suction/blowing pipe into motor housing.
• Tighten the 2 screws C and D. Make sure the suc-
tion/blowing pipes are firmly closed with the motor
housing.
Fitting the debris collection bag (Pic. 3+4)
Before fitting the debris collection bag ensure that the
Vacuum/Blow selector lever operates smoothly and that it
is not obstructed by debris from the previous use.
When users install the collection bag: attach the
Vacuum bag to the hook on the suction/blowing pipes
(Fig. 3). Attach the push-on collection bag connector (E)
to the outlet tube of the housing. Push the fitting of the
collection bag directly onto the outlet until it "clicks" into
position (fig. 4).
When users dismantle the collection bag: to remove
the collection bag, disconnect the attachments in the
reserve order. When removing the fitting on the outlet,
first depress the two buttons on either side of the plastic
connector (E), and then pull.
Attention: switch off the vacuum until at the han-
dle and pull the plug firstly.

Adjustable front handle

Fold up the front handle (10). (Pic. 4).
Fitting the shoulder harness (Pic.5)
The Vacuum-Blower is provided with a shoulder harness
(12) this is attached to the top of the main body of the
Vacuum-Blower. The shoulder harness is provided to
reduce fatigue and aid comfort when using the Vacuum-
Blower. Never carry the belt diagonally over shoulder and
chest. Wear the strap only on one shoulder, in this way
you can remove the device in case of danger fast.
Before Starting (Pic.6)
Plug the power cord into an approved electrical extension
cord, and turn the extension cord on. Attach the extension
to one side of the cable hook as shown in fig. 6.
Only connect the device to a power source that is pro-
tected via a residual current protective device (RCD) with
a maximum release current of 30 mA.
Operation
Note: Never use the device without the collec-
tion bag!
Starting the Vacuum-Blower (Pic.9, 10 and 11)
To start the Vacuum-Blower ensure that the intermediate
suction/blower tube is fitted correctly.
Warning! Before selecting either the Vacuum or Blow
function ensure that the selector lever operates smoothly
and that it is not obstructed by debris from the previous
use. Select either the Vacuum or Blow function using the
selector lever on the side of the machine (3) and press
the switch button (2). If more power is required slide the
speed controller (8) from position "1" to position "Max".
Stopping the Vacuum- Blower (Pic.12)
To turn off the machine you can simply release the
switch (2).

Using the Vacuum-Blower

Do not attempt to pick up wet debris, allow fallen leaves
etc, to dry out before using the Vacuum Blower. The
Vacuum-Blower can be used to blow debris from patios,
paths, driveways, lawns, bushes and borders. It will also
pick up leaves, paper, small twigs and wood chippings.
When the using the Vacuum Blower in Vacuum mode
the debris is sucked up the suction tube before being
ejected into the debris collection bag, as the debris
passes through the suction fan it is partially shredded.
The shredded organic debris is ideal to use as mulch
around plants.
Warning! Any hard objects, such as stones, tin cans
glass etc, will damage the suction fan.
Important
Do not use the Vacuum-Blower to suck up water
or very wet debris.
Never operate the Vacuum-Blower without the
debris collection bag fitted.
Blower mode (Pic.7)
Inspect the area to be worked before starting. Remove
any objects or debris that could be thrown, jammed or
become entangled in the Vacuum-Blower.
Select the blow function using the selector lever on the
side of the machine and switch on. With the Vacuum-
Blower resting on its wheels move the Vacuum-Blower
forwards directing the nozzle at the debris to be cleared.
Alternatively hold nozzle just above the ground and
swing the machine from side to side, moving forwards
and directing the nozzle at the debris to be cleared. Blow
the debris into a convenient heap then use the vacuum
function to collect the debris.
Vacuum mode (Pic.8)
Inspect the area to be worked before starting. Remove
any objects or debris that could be thrown, jammed or
become entangled in the Vacuum-Blower.
Select the vacuum function using the selector lever on
the side of the machine and switch on. With the Vacuum-
Blower resting on its wheels move the Vacuum-Blower
forwards directing the nozzle at the debris to be col-
lected. Alternatively with the Vacuum-Blower held just
above the ground swing the machine from side to side,
moving forwards and directing the nozzle at the debris to
be collected. Do not force the nozzle into the debris as
this will block the suction tube and reduce the efficiency
of the machine.
Organic materials such as leaves contain a large amount
