2. Turn unit on.
3. Swing unit slowly back and forth over leaves to be vacuumed.

IMPORTANT
This unit is designed to pick up and shred dry leaves and
other light, leafy debris.
Do not attempt to pick up stones, gravel, broken glass,
twigs, bark, acorns or pine cones as severe damage to fan
blades may result.
Do not tip vacuum tubes upright and force feed debris into
tubes.
If the unit should start to vibrate or make abnormal noise, stop the
unit, unplug the cord and check for cause.
Emptying Bag
1. Turn unit off. Disconnect extension cord.
2. Depress both tabs on bag collar to remove bag from unit
(Fig. 9).
3. Unzip bag and shake out debris.

Maintenance

Clogging
If the unit becomes clogged with debris, the obstruction can
usually be cleared by turning the unit off and then promptly
compressing the bag while it is still inflated, thereby forcing air
back out through the vacuum tubes. This reverse airflow is usually
sufficient to dislodge most obstructions.
If the restriction cannot be cleared by compressing the bag, then
proceed with caution as follows:
1. Turn off and unplug unit.
2. Remove vacuum tubes.
3. Using a small stick or rod, carefully reach into impeller
opening and clear out debris.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM
Unit won't run or stops running
Unit seems to be low on power
Vacuum tube will not stay securely
fastened to housing
Bag Cleaning
Do not store debris in vacuum bag. Empty bag after each use. After
three uses, clean bag thoroughly. Turn bag inside out and shake out
dust and excess debris vigorously. Once a year, if necessary, wash
the bag by hand in soapy water.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Impeller Replacement
If a loss of performance is detected while operating blower, unplug
unit, remove inlet cover, and check impeller blades for wear. If
blades are severely worn, see your Authorized TORO Service

In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation are
provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is provided
on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a means for grounding
be added to the appliance. Servicing a double-insulated appliance
requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be
done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a
double-insulated appliance must be identical to the parts they
replace. A double-insulated appliance is marked with the words
"DOUBLE INSULATION" or "DOUBLE INSULATED." The
