OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

PATIO HEAD

NOTE: To use the patio head, the unit must be operated as a vacuum. See the Operating as a Vacuum section of your manual.

Installation

1. Turn the unit so that the blower/vacuum tube openings point straight up (Fig. 19).

Fig. 18

WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury,

never unzip the vacuum bag without stopping the unit first.

WARNING: As a vacuum, the unit is designed to

pick up dry material such as leaves, grass, small twigs and bits of paper. To avoid serious personal injury, do not attempt to vacuum wet debris and/or standing water as this may result in damage to the blower/ vacuum. To avoid severe damage to the impeller, do not vacuum metal, broken glass or similar items.

WARNING: Avoid situations that could catch the

vacuum bag on fire. Do not operate near an open flame. Do not vacuum warm ash from fireplaces, barbecue pits, brush piles, etc.

Do not vacuum discarded cigars or cigarettes unless the cinders are completely cool.

When the bag is full, suction will noticeably decrease. Turn off the unit before removing the bag. Remove and unzip the bag and empty the contents before continuing.

NOTE: Empty the bag after each use to avoid deterioration and obstructing air flow, which will reduce the performance of the vacuum.

Operation

Hold the vacuum, tilting the blower/vacuum tube down. The Patio Head should roll without scraping, adjust the angle of the tube so that the Patio Head opening runs parallel to the ground. Use a forward and backward motion to vacuum up debris (Fig. 21). Small leaves and twigs will flow into the vacuum bag and be mulched as they pass through the fan housing, allowing the vacuum bag to hold more debris. DO NOT attempt to vacuum up materials that are larger than the Patio Head Openings.
