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.

1Use 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).

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.
