2. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly attach the collection bag to your leaf blower.
- Ensure Safety: Before beginning, ensure your leaf blower is turned off and unplugged from the power source to prevent accidental startup.
- Identify Attachment Point: Locate the collection bag attachment point on your ALDI TOPCRAFT leaf blower. This is typically a circular or oval opening where the vacuumed debris is directed.
- Align the Bag: Take the collection bag and align its opening with the attachment point on the leaf blower. The bag's plastic collar or connector should fit snugly into the blower's port.
- Secure the Bag: Depending on your specific leaf blower model, secure the bag using the integrated clips, latches, or straps. Ensure the connection is firm and there are no gaps that could allow debris to escape. Refer to your leaf blower's original manual for specific attachment mechanisms if needed.
- Check Connection: Gently tug on the bag to confirm it is securely attached and will not detach during operation.

3. Operating Instructions
Once the collection bag is securely attached, you can begin using your leaf blower in vacuum mode.
- Power On: Plug in your leaf blower and turn it on, ensuring it is set to vacuum mode (if applicable).
- Begin Vacuuming: Direct the leaf blower's intake nozzle towards the leaves and debris you wish to collect. The vacuumed material will be drawn into the collection bag.
- Monitor Bag Fill Level: Periodically check the collection bag to ensure it does not become overfilled. An overfilled bag can reduce vacuuming efficiency and put strain on the leaf blower motor.
- Emptying the Bag: When the bag is full, turn off and unplug the leaf blower. Locate the zipper on the collection bag. Unzip the bag completely and empty the contents into a compost bin or waste receptacle.
- Re-secure Zipper: After emptying, ensure the zipper is fully closed before resuming operation.

4. Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance will extend the life of your collection bag.
- Cleaning: After each use, especially when collecting damp debris, empty the bag completely. If necessary, you can gently shake out any remaining dust or small particles. For heavier dirt, the bag can be hand-washed with mild soap and water. Allow it to air dry completely before storage or next use.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the bag for any signs of wear, tears, or damage, particularly around the zipper and attachment points.
- Storage: Store the collection bag in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mold or mildew growth.
