4. Assembly and Setup

Follow these steps to assemble your AIVOLT 3-in-1 Leaf Blower, Vacuum, and Mulcher.

1. Attach Blower/Vacuum Tubes: Align the tubes with the main unit's openings and push them firmly until they click into place. Ensure they are securely fastened for both blowing and vacuuming configurations.
2. Attach Collection Bag (for Vacuum/Mulcher Mode): Slide the collection bag's collar onto the vacuum port until it locks. Ensure the zipper is closed before operation.
3. Install Wheels: The adjustable wheels can be attached to the nozzle. For vacuuming, it is suggested to assemble the wheels to the innermost slot (towards the body of the device). For blowing, assemble to the outermost slot (towards the nozzle) for better maneuverability.
4. Attach Shoulder Strap: Connect the carrying belt to the designated attachment points on the main unit for comfortable operation, especially during vacuuming. Adjust the strap length for optimal balance and comfort.
5. Install Batteries: Insert the charged 20V/4.0Ah batteries into the battery slots on the main unit until they click into place. Ensure both batteries are fully seated.
6. Charge Batteries: Before first use, fully charge both 20V/4.0Ah batteries using the provided dual port charger. The charging time is approximately 2 hours for a full charge. The charger will indicate when charging is complete.

5. Operation

Your AIVOLT device offers three functions: blowing, vacuuming, and mulching. Ensure the batteries are fully charged before operation.

5.1 Switching Modes

The device features a function knob to switch between blower and vacuum modes. Rotate the knob to select the desired function. Ensure the device is off before switching modes.

Figure 5.1: The function knob allows for easy and quick switching between the blower and vacuum modes of the device.

5.2 Blower Mode

In blower mode, the device generates a powerful air stream to clear leaves and debris.

• Ensure the device is configured for blowing (collection bag removed, blower tube attached).
• Press the On/Off switch to start the device.
• Direct the nozzle towards the debris you wish to clear. Use a sweeping motion to gather leaves into piles.
• The device offers up to 600 CFM air volume and 160 MPH air speed for effective clearing.

5.3 Vacuum and Mulcher Mode

In vacuum mode, the device sucks up leaves and mulches them into the collection bag.

• Ensure the device is configured for vacuuming (collection bag attached, vacuum tube attached).
• Press the On/Off switch to start the device.
• Slowly move the vacuum nozzle over the leaves. The device will draw in leaves and shred them before depositing them into the 40L collection bag.
• The mulching ratio is approximately 15:1, significantly reducing the volume of debris.
• To empty the collection bag, turn off the device, remove the battery, and unzip the bottom of the bag.

5.4 Speed Control and Turbo Mode

The device features 4 speed modes and a Turbo button for varying power needs.

• Speed Adjustment: Use the 'Speed Up' and 'Speed Down' buttons on the control panel to cycle through the 4 speed modes. Modes 1-2 are suitable for light work, while Modes 3-4 are for heavier debris.
• Turbo Button: Press the 'TURBO' button for a burst of maximum power (Mode 4) for approximately 10 seconds, ideal for stubborn debris. The device will return to the previous speed mode after 10 seconds or if the button is released.
• Battery Indicator: The control panel includes a battery indicator to show the remaining charge level.

Figure 5.6: The control panel features a clear battery indicator, buttons for adjusting between 4 speed modes, a dedicated turbo button for maximum power, and an on/off switch for easy operation.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your device.

• Cleaning: After each use, ensure the battery is removed. Clean the exterior of the device with a damp cloth. Remove any debris from the air intake vents, blower tube, and vacuum port. Ensure the impeller area is clear of any lodged material.
• Collection Bag: Empty and clean the collection bag regularly. Wash with mild soap and water if necessary, and allow it to dry completely before reattaching.
• Battery Care: Store batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Do not store fully discharged batteries for extended periods. Charge them periodically if not in use.
• Storage: Store the device in a dry, secure location out of reach of children. Disassemble tubes and remove the collection bag for compact storage if desired.
