Emptying The Bag; Removing Clogged Debris From The Impeller; Using The Vacuum - Toro 51581 Operator's Manual

Using the Vacuum

WARNING
The vacuum can throw debris, possibly causing
serious personal injury to the operator or bystanders.
•
Do not operate the vacuum without the bag installed
or with the bag zipper open.
•
Do not vacuum sharp, pointed, or hard 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
of debris or hold the tube upright while force feeding
debris into the tube. Either action may clog and damage
the impeller. If the vacuum starts to vibrate or make
abnormal noise, stop it, unplug the cord, and check for
the cause.

Emptying the Bag

1. Turn off and unplug the vacuum from the power source.
2. Empty any debris from the bag.
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.
DANGER
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.
