Cruise Control; Vacuum Operation - Ryobi RBV26B User Manual

WARNING
Do not place blower on top of or near loose debris or
gravel. Debris may be sucked into the blower intake
vent resulting in possible damage to the product and
serious personal injury.
Operate power equipment at reasonable hours only —
not early in the morning or late at night when people
might be disturbed. Comply with the times listed in
local ordinances.
To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of
equipment used at any time.
Operate the blower at the lowest possible throttle
speed to do the job.
Check your equipment before operation, especially
the muffler, air intakes, and air filters.
Use rakes or brooms to loosen the debris before
operating the product. Slightly dampen surfaces in
dusty conditions.
Conserve water by using power blowers instead
of hoses for many lawn and garden applications,
including areas such as gutters, screens, patios, grills,
porches, and gardens.
Watch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly
washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
NOTE: The high velocity nozzle is speci cally designed
for wet sticky leaves. It allows you to scrape wet leaves or
debris while operating the blower.

section earlier in this manual.
Place the vacuum bag strap over your right shoulder.
Hold the upper handle with your left hand and the
vacuum handle with your right hand.
Move the product from side to side along the outer
edge of the debris. To avoid clogging, do not place the
vacuum tube directly into the debris pile.
Hold the engine higher than the inlet of the vacuum
tube.
Always point the vacuum tube downhill when working
on a hillside.
To avoid serious injury to the operator or damage
to the product, do not attempt to vacuum up rocks,
broken glass, bottles, or other similar objects.
If the vacuum tubes get clogged, stop the engine,
ensure the impeller blades have come to a complete
stop. Disconnect the spark plug wire before cleaning
out the obstruction. Remove the vacuum tubes and
clear the debris from the fan housing. Remove the
bag and clear the tube. A small rod or stick may be
required to clear the entire tube length. Ensure that
all debris has been cleared before reassembling the
vacuum tubes.
