S
objects that could be thrown through the
fabric of the bag, such as wires, staples,
nails, or rocks.
Important: Vacuum only leaves and soft items. Hard
items such as sticks, rocks, acorns, and pine cones
will damage the impeller.
Important: Do not force the vacuum tube into a pile

Emptying the Bag
1. Turn off and unplug the vacuum from the power
source.
2.
Do not store debris in the bag. To clean the bag, turn
it inside out and shake out any excess debris. Once a
year, hand wash the bag in soapy water and allow it
to air dry.
Normal usage of the bag causes it to wear and
deteriorate over time. A worn or deteriorated bag
allows small objects to be thrown through the
bag, possibly injuring the operator or bystanders.
Check the bag frequently. If it is worn or
deteriorated, replace it with a genuine Toro
vacuum bag.
