1) Whenever the machine is to be handled or
transported you must:
• Turn off the engine and disconnect the spark
plug cap;
• Only hold the machine using the handgrips and
position the tubes so that they do not obstruct.
2) When using a vehicle to transport the ma-

it can cause no danger to persons and fasten it
firmly in place to avoid it from tipping over, which
may cause damage or fuel spillage.

Environmental protection should be a priority of
considerable importance when using the ma-
chine, for the benefit of both social coexistence
and the environment in which we live. Try not to
cause any disturbance to the surrounding area.

1. PREPARE THE MACHINE

The machine can be used as both a blower and
a vacuum collector; for both of these uses it is
necessa ry to correctly arrange the appropriate
accesso ries included with the equipment.
WARNING! Unpacking and completing
the assembly should be done on a flat and
stable surface, with enough space for moving
the machine and its packaging, always mak­
ing use of suitable equipment.
IMPORTANT The safety systems prevent the
engine from starting if the vacuum or blower tubes
are not assembled correctly.
1.1 USE AS A BLOWER (Fig. 1)
– Align the protrusions of the first blower tube
(1) with the air outlet nozzle compartments
(2), then push the tube until it is fitting firmly
in place.
– Align the compartment of the second blow-
er tube (3) with the protrusion (4) of the first
tube, push the tube in and rotate it 90 degrees
clockwise to one of the two foreseen posi-
tions, until it is fitting firmly in place.
NOTE Fit the second tube with a flat or round
end depending on the type of work to be accom-
plished.
To remove the first tube (1), insert the screwdriv-
er included in the kit in the hole (5) and press
firmly until you can slide the tube out from the air
outlet nozzle.
1.2 USE AS A VACUUM COLLECTOR
(Fig. 2)
– Align the protrusions of the bag coupling tube
(1) with the air outlet nozzle compartments
(2), then push the tube until it is fitting firmly
in place.
– Insert the end nozzle of the coupling tube (1)
in the bag inlet (3) and close the inlet with the
velcro fastener provided (4).
– Connect the first vacuum tube (5) to the sec-
ond (6), aligning the two reference arrows (7)
and pushing it as far as possible until the pro-
trusion (6a) of the second tube is firmly insert-
ed in the hole (5a) of the first vacuum tube.
– Insert the screwdriver included in the kit in the
hole (8) and press to release the catch and
open the protection grid (9).
– Align the reference plugs (10) with their re-
spective compartments (11) on the first vacu-
um tube and turn it counter clockwise, until it is
fitted firmly in place.
– Position the bag over the shoulder and use
the adjustable shoulder strap to regulate the
height.
