OPERATING TIPS -- BLOWER
• Always work going away from solid objects such as
walls, trees, automobiles, and fences.
• Clean corners by starting in corners and moving out-
ward to flat areas to prevent an accumulation of debris
which could fly into face.
• Be careful when working near plants. The force of the
air could damage tender plants.
• Direct air flow by directing the nozzle down or to one
side.
• Vary the air flow by adjusting your grip on the throttle
trigger.
• While using the models 358.797982 and 358.797950,
use the assist handle located on the back of the unit
when working above the waist or when a two-handed
grip is desired.
• Uses For Your Blower:
- Sweeping debris or grass clippings from driveways,
sidewalks, patios, parks, parking lots, barns, stadi-
ums, etc.
- Blowing grass clippings, straw, or leaves into piles.
- Fast drying wet outdoor areas such as a patio.
- Removing debris from corners, around joints, and
between bricks.
- Blowing light snow from driveways, sidewalks, or
patios.
OPERATING TIPS -- VACUUM
• When using your unit as a vacuum, best results are
achieved when the unit is operated at full throttle.
Engage the throttle lock before beginning vacuuming
procedures.
o Move the unit slowly back and forth over debris to be
vacuumed. Avoid forcing the vacuum tube into a pile of
debris as this can clog the unit.
• The vacuum can pick up objects that are too big to
pass through the impeller. This type of object will fall
out of the vacuum tubes when the engine is stopped.
° If the 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 turn-
ing, then remove the vacuum tube.
- Carefully reach into the vacuum opening and clear
out debris.
• The vacuum bag must be property emptied and main-
tained to avoid deterioration and obstruction of air flow
which will reduce the performance of the vacuum.
- Empty the vacuum bag after each use.
- Remove the vacuum bag/elbow from the unit by
turning it in a clockwise direction. Do not store vac-
uum bag containing leaves, grass, etc.
- Wash the vacuum bag once a year as follows:
Turn the vacuum bag inside out.
Hang it up.
Thoroughly hose it down.
Let vacuum bag hang until dry.
