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.
