WARNING:

When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.

Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause

product damage.

WARNING:

Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to

comply with standards, along with hearing protection.

Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into

your eyes and other possible serious injuries.

WARNING:

Before inspecting, cleaning, or servicing the machine,

shut off engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and

disconnect spark plug wire and move it away from

spark plug. Failure to follow these instructions can

result in serious personal injury or property damage.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most

plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of

commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.

Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, lubricant, grease,

etc.

WARNING:

Do not at any time let brake ﬂuids, gasoline, petroleum-

based products, penetrating lubricants, etc., come in con-

tact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or

destroy plastic which may result in serious personal

injury.

OPERATION

 Install the vacuum tubes and the bag. Refer to the AS-

SEMBLY section earlier in this manual.

 Start the blower. Refer to Starting and Stopping earlier

in this manual.

 Place the vacuum bag strap over your right shoulder.

Hold the upper handle in your left hand and the vacuum

handle in your right hand.

 Move the blower/vacuum 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 engine higher than the inlet end of the vacuum

tube.

 Always point vacuum tube downhill when working on

a hillside.

 To avoid serious injury to the operator or damage to

the unit, do not pick up rocks, broken glass, bottles,

or other similar objects.

 If the vacuum tubes should clog, stop the engine, ensure

impeller blades have stopped spinning, and disconnect

the spark plug wire before cleaning out the obstruc-

tion.

 Remove the vacuum tubes and clear the debris from

the blower fan housing. Remove the 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.

MAINTENANCE

You can often make adjustments and repairs described

here.

For other repairs, have the blower/vacuum serviced

by an authorized service dealer.

CLEANING THE AIR FILTER

See Figure 12 - 13.

A dirty air filter will cause starting difficulty, loss of

performance, and shorten the life span of the engine.

Check the air ﬁlter monthly. For best performance, replace

the air ﬁlter at least once a year.

 Loosen the air filter cover by turning the knob

counterclockwise.

 Remove the air ﬁlter (item 50).

 Clean the foam ﬁlter element with warm soapy water.

Rinse and let dry.

NOTE: If the foam ﬁlter element is damaged, it should

be replaced.

 Apply a light coat of engine oil to the foam ﬁlter element,

then squeeze it out.

 Reinstall the air ﬁlter.

NOTE: Make sure the ﬁlter is seated properly inside

the cover. Installing the ﬁlter incorrectly will allow dirt

to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear.

 Reinstall the cover and tighten knob to secure.

CLEANING THE EXHAUST PORT, MUFFLER

AND SPARK ARRESTOR

NOTE: Depending on the type of fuel used, the type and amount

of lubricant used, and/or your operating conditions, the

exhaust port, mufﬂer, and/or spark arrestor screen may

become blocked with carbon deposits. If you notice a

power loss with your petrol powered tool, you may need

to remove these deposits to restore performance. We

highly recommend that only qualiﬁed service technicians

perform this service.
