vacuumed.. Avoid forcing the vacuum tube into a pile of
debris as this can clog the unit.

through the impeller, This type of object will fall out of the
vacuum tubes when the engine is stopped°
° Ifthe unit becomes clogged:
- Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire.
Do not attempt to remove obstructions with the engine
running,
- Wait until the impeller has completely stopped turning,
then remove the vacuum tube,.
- Carefully reach into the vacuum opening and clear out
debris.
The vacuum bag must be properly emptied and main-
tained to avoid deterioration and obstruction of air flow
which wilt reduce the performance of the vacuum.

ing it in a c!ockwise direction. Do not store vacuum bag
