Blower Operating Procedures
Hold the blower as shown in Figures 14, 15, and 16.
Sweep from side to side with the nozzle several inches
above the ground or floor. Slowly advance the unit,
keeping the accumulated pile of debris in front of you.
Most dry blowing operations are better suited to low
speeds, rather than high. High speed blowing is a better
way to move heavier items like large debris or gravel.
1
Use the blower for trees, shrubs, flower beds and
hard-to-clean areas (Fig. 14).
2. Use the unit around buildings and for other normal
cleaning procedures (Fig. 15).
3. Use the blower around walls, overhangs, fences and
screens (Fig. 16).

WARNING:
damage to the unit, always install vacuum
tubes, the vacuum bag and make sure the
vacuum bag is completely zipped closed
when operating this unit as a vacuum.
Vacuum Operation Procedures
Check for the following before operating the unit:
• Operator is wearing proper clothing, such as boots,
safety glasses or goggles, ear/hearing protection,
gloves, long pants and long sleeve shirt
• If the conditions are dusty, operator is equipped with a
dust mask or face mask
• The unit is in good working condition-- the vacuum
tubes and vacuum bag are in place and secure.
• The shoulder harness is in place and correctly
adjusted
Use the unit for vacuuming up light debris like leaves
and paper.
Hold the vacuum, tilting the suction tube slightly (2-4 in
or 50-100 mm), and use a sweeping action to collect
light debris (Fig. 18). The debris will flow into the vacuum
bag. Items such as small leaves and small twigs will be
mulched as they pass through the fan housing, allowing
the vacuum bag to hold more debris.
When the bag is full, suction will noticeably decrease.
Turn off the unit and allow the impeller to stop before
you remove and unzip the bag. Unzip the bag and empty
the contents before continuing. Refer to Emptying the
Vacuum Bag.
