Using the Appliance as a
Vacuum
Using the appliance as a vacuum is intended for residential use
only. Use it outdoors to collect debris as needed.
WARNING
Using the appliance as a vacuum can throw debris,
possibly causing serious personal injury to you or
bystanders.
•
Do not operate the vacuum without the bag installed
or with the bag zipper open.
•
Do not vacuum sharp, pointed, or hard objects that
could be thrown through the fabric of the bag, such
as wires, staples, nails, or rocks.
Important:
Vacuum only dry leaves and soft items. Hard
items such as sticks, rocks, acorns, and pine cones will
damage the impeller.
Important:
Do not force the vacuum tube into a pile of
debris or hold the tube upright while force feeding debris into
the tube. Either action may clog and damage the impeller. If
the vacuum starts to vibrate or make abnormal noise, stop it,
unplug the cord, and check for the cause.
Emptying the Bag
1.
Turn off and unplug the vacuum from the power source.
2.
Empty any debris from the bag.
Do not store debris in the bag. To clean the bag, turn it
inside out and shake out any excess debris. Once a year,
hand wash the bag in soapy water and allow it to air dry.
DANGER
Normal usage of the bag causes it to wear and
deteriorate over time. A worn or deteriorated bag
allows small objects to be thrown through the bag,
possibly injuring you or bystanders.
Check the bag frequently. If it is worn or
deteriorated, replace it with a genuine Toro
vacuum bag.
Always use the shoulder strap whenever you use
the appliance with the bag. This prevents the bag
from dragging on the ground, reducing bag wear
and deterioration.
