2. Attaching the Vacuum Tube:

3. Attaching the Collection Bag:

3. Plug the extension cord into a grounded electrical outlet.

Operation

Always ensure all tubes and the collection bag are correctly installed and secured before starting the unit.

1. Selecting Operating Mode:

• Blower Mode: Ensure only the blower tube is attached. Move the mode selector lever to the 'Blower' position.
• Vacuum/Mulcher Mode: Ensure the vacuum tubes and collection bag are attached. Move the mode selector lever to the 'Vacuum' position.

2. Starting and Stopping:

• To start, press the ON/OFF switch to the 'ON' position.
• To stop, press the ON/OFF switch to the 'OFF' position.

3. Adjusting Speed:

This unit features 3-speed settings. Use the speed control switch to select the desired airflow or vacuum power:

• Low Speed: For delicate areas or light debris.
• Medium Speed: For general yard cleanup.
• High Speed: For heavy, wet leaves or stubborn debris.

4. Operating Tips:

• Blowing: Sweep from side to side, moving debris into piles. Avoid directing airflow at people or loose objects.
• Vacuuming/Mulching: Move the vacuum tube slowly over the debris. The mulching impeller will reduce the volume of leaves before they enter the collection bag.
• Emptying the Collection Bag: When the bag is full, turn off and unplug the unit. Unzip the bag and empty its contents. Reattach securely before resuming operation.
