4. Setup
- Prepare the Leaf Blower Vacuum: Ensure your electric leaf blower vacuum is turned off and unplugged from the power source. Refer to your leaf blower vacuum's instruction manual for specific attachment port locations.
- Locate the Attachment Point: Identify the designated attachment point on your leaf blower vacuum for the collection bag. This is typically an exhaust port or a specific vacuum intake port.
- Attach the Collection Bag: Align the opening of the Grizzly ELS 2600 collection bag, specifically its rigid plastic clip/handle, with the attachment point on your leaf blower vacuum. Securely fasten the bag according to your leaf blower vacuum's design. This may involve clipping, twisting, or sliding the bag onto the port until it locks into place. Ensure a tight seal to prevent debris leakage.
- Verify Security: Gently tug on the collection bag to confirm it is firmly attached and will not detach during operation.
5. Operating Instructions
- Pre-Operation Check: Before each use, ensure the collection bag is properly attached and free from damage. Check that the zipper is fully closed.
- Start the Leaf Blower Vacuum: Plug in and switch on your electric leaf blower vacuum according to its operating instructions.
- Begin Collection: Direct the vacuum nozzle towards the leaves and debris you wish to collect. The bag will inflate as air and debris are drawn in.
- Monitor Bag Fill Level: Periodically check the fill level of the collection bag. Do not allow it to become excessively full, as this can reduce suction power and potentially damage the leaf blower vacuum.
- Emptying the Bag:
- Turn off and unplug the leaf blower vacuum.
- Locate the zipper on the collection bag.
- Open the zipper and empty the collected debris into a suitable waste receptacle or compost pile.
- Close the zipper securely before resuming operation.
- Post-Operation: After use, turn off and unplug the leaf blower vacuum. Detach the collection bag for cleaning and storage.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: After each use, empty the bag completely. If necessary, the bag can be cleaned with a damp cloth to remove stubborn dirt. Allow it to air dry completely before storage to prevent mold or mildew. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the bag for any signs of wear, tears, or damage, especially around the seams and attachment points. Check the zipper for smooth operation.
- Storage: Store the collection bag in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure it is not folded or creased in a way that could cause permanent damage to the fabric or holder.
7. Troubleshooting

|---|---|---|
| Reduced suction/collection efficiency. | Bag is full or partially blocked. | Empty the collection bag. Check for any blockages in the bag or the leaf blower vacuum's intake/exhaust. |
