Tips for using your Electric Garden Blower Vac:
The following points may assist you in the operation of the blower vac:
• Always try and vacuum dry leave, cuttings or general garden debris.
•
Wet material is difficult to mulch and also can cause the blower vac to clog.
•
If the leaves or branches are damp, then use the blower vac in blow selection to pile
the
leaves and branches into one area, then vac and mulch the leaves and branches
when
dry.
•
Avoid using the vac on areas where there are stones or other hard objects. These
objects will dam
age the impellor of the blower vac and thereby void the warranty.
•
lt is also advisable not to allow the blower vac to pick up soil. Soil generally contains
moisture and w
hen combined with other garden debris can clog the blower vac.
• The blower vac is not a garbage disposal unit. Do not attempt to mulch any material
than general garden debris.
•
For better performance and comfort, it is recommended the collection bag is
emptied when it becomes approximately half full. This reduces the weight and also
allows the vac o
peration to perform at its highest level.
