MAINTENANCE

W A R N I N G
To avoid serious personal injury, be sure the unit is OFF and unplugged before clearing the impeller.
SERVICING DOUBLE-INSULATED UNITS
This unit is double insulated. In a double-insulated unit, two systems of insulation are provided in-
stead of grounding. There is no grounding provided, and no means of grounding should be added to
this unit. Extreme care and knowledge of the system is required when servicing a double-insulated
unit.
Service should be performed by qualified service personnel only. Replacement parts for a double-in-
sulated unit must be identical to the parts they replace. Refer any repairs to an authorized service
dealer. A double-insulated unit is marked with the words "double insulation" or "double-insulated."
CLEANING THE UNIT
Use a small brush to clean off the outside of the unit. Do not use strong detergents, household
cleaners that contain aromatic oils such as pine and lemon, and solvents such as kerosene, be-
cause they can damage plastic housings or handles. Wipe off any moisture with a soft, dry cloth.
CLEANING THE BAG
1. Empty the bag after each use to avoid deterioration and obstructing air flow, which will reduce
the performance of the vacuum.
2. Wearing eye protection and a dust mask, clean the bag as needed. Turn the bag inside-out after
initial emptying, and vigorously shake out dust and debris.
3. Wash the bag once per year, or more often if needed:
a) Remove the bag.
b) Turn bag inside-out.
c) Hang it up.
d) Hose it down thoroughly.
e) Leave it hanging to dry.
f ) Turn bag right-side out, and reinstall.
CLEARING A BLOCKED TUBE / IMPELLER
1. Slide the Power/Speed switch down to the OFF position, and wait until the unit comes to a
complete stop.
2. Unplug the unit.
3. Remove the blower tube or vacuum tubes and the bag.
4. Carefully remove material blocking the tube or impeller. Inspect the blades to ensure that
no damage has occurred. Rotate the impeller blades by hand to ensure that the blockage is
completely cleared.
5. Reinstall the blower tube or vacuum tubes and the bag.
6. Plug the unit back into the power supply.
STOP! BLOWER WILL NOT RUN UNTIL GATE IS CLOSED AND LOCKED!
STORAGE
• Store the unit locked up to prevent unauthorized use or damage.
• Store the unit in a dry, well-ventilated area.
• Store the unit out of the reach of children.
INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS
Inspect all extension cords periodically. Look closely for deterioration, cuts or cracks in the insula-
tion. Inspect the connectors for damage. Replace cords if defective or damaged.
