Shred ' N' Vac® Operation - Echo ES250 Operator's Manual

ES-250
Note: Never use a higher speed setting than necessary to perform
a task. Remember, the higher the engine speed, the louder
the blower noise. Minimize dust by using blower at lower
speeds. Keep debris on your property. Be Smart - be a good
neighbor.
SHRED ' N' VAC® Operation
Flying debris hazard. Never operate unit as a vacuum unless
discharge elbow is installed and debris bag is securely cinched
to elbow. Failure to follow instructions can result in serious
injuries.
Debris bag is flammable and could be ignited if allowed to
contact hot muffler cover or exhaust. Keep bag away from hot
surfaces at all times.
1. Adjust debris bag strap to support bag on
operator's shoulder. Bag must not be folded at
intake area, or intake will clog. Further
adjustment may be necessary as the debris bag
fills and becomes heavier.
2. Grip throttle control handle with left hand, and
lower handle/stand with right hand.
3. Operate unit with beveled end of tube facing
downward. Keep tube opening close to material
being vacuumed for best results.
4. Empty bag when debris level reaches intake
opening. To empty bag, move stop switch to
"STOP" position, and wait for blower to stop
running. Loosen Velcro strap at elbow and slide
bag off elbow. Open other end of bag, and empty contents. Close bag,
and reattach to blower. Secure bag with Velcro strap.
Note: Vacuum action works best at higher engine speeds. Avoid
using vacuum in areas where rocks or other large, hard
debris may be vacuumed into unit. Clear these areas with
blower first, blowing light debris into a pile. Use attachment to
vacuum pile.
