Installing or Emptying the Collection Bag
Use the bag at all times - failure to do this could cause serious injury.
•
Empty the bag as soon as it is full (check by feeling sides of bag). Overfilling the bag will cause the vacuuming performance to
decrease or stop completely and could lead to clogging of the discharge tube, snout, or both.
•
Empty the bag completely BEFORE storing the machine to prevent premature deterioration of the bag caused from rotting
debris and the possibility of a fire occurring as a result of heat generated by decomposing debris.
Bag Maintenance
•
Keep the bag clean by occasionally washing it by hand with mild soap and water. A clean bag improves air flow and results in
better vacuuming performance. Do not wash the bag in an automatic washer. Do not use a cleaner which contains bleach.
Allow the bag to dry thoroughly before storing.
Installation of the Bag
1. Locate the two bag hanger straps on the rear (zipper end) of the bag. Attach the two straps to the hooks near the top of the
handlebar.
2. Locate the three bag hanger straps on the front of the bag and hang them on the hook and two Carabiners on the front frame.
3. Slip the neck over the discharge tube.
4. Hook the bottom two Latches over the Metal Ring in the Bag Inlet but do not close the Latches at this time.
5. Hook the top Latch over the Metal Ring in the Bag Inlet and close the Latch. Close the bottom two Latches.
Emptying the Bag
1. Shut off the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug, and make sure all moving parts have come to a
complete stop.
2. Leave the bag in position between the handles. Unzip the back flap and let the debris fall out. You may have to scoop out the
remaining debris with a stick.
Clearing the Machine of Debris, Clogs or Jams
A clog or jam in the machine can cause the vacuuming and shredding operations to decrease or even stop completely. If clogging
occurs, take the following steps:
1. STOP THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY and disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug. Wait for all moving parts to
come to a complete stop.
2. Check (and clean, if necessary) the following areas in this order:
•
Check that the collection bag is not overfilled. Remove and empty it.
•
While the bag is removed, check the discharge chute and determine if it is clogged. Use a stick to clear this chute.
•
Next check the vacuum snout. Remove the vacuum snout by removing four 5/16-18 nylon locknuts. If clogged or jammed,
use a stick to remove debris.
•
While the vacuum snout is removed, you can see if the shredding chamber is clogged. If clogged, remove the debris with a
stick.
