3. Connect the collection bag to the discharge elbow of the powerhead. Ensure the Velcro strap or clamp is tightly secured to prevent debris leakage.
4. Regolare la tracolla del sacco di raccolta per un utilizzo confortevole.

1. Assicurarsi che il motore sia spento e freddo.
2. Rimuovere i tubi del vuoto e il sacchetto di raccolta.
3. Attach the blower tube to the discharge port of the powerhead.
4. Install the intake cover over the intake port to prevent debris from entering the impeller.

5. Istruzioni per l'uso

5.1 Avviamento del motore

1. Posizionare l'unità su una superficie piana e stabile.
2. Assicurarsi che il serbatoio del carburante sia riempito con la miscela corretta.
3. Impostare l'interruttore di accensione in posizione "ON".
4. Engage the choke (if engine is cold).
5. Premere più volte la pompetta di innesco finché il carburante non diventa visibile.

5.2 Using the Vacuum/Mulcher

• Use a sweeping motion to move leaves and light debris into piles.
• Adjust the throttle for variable speed control as needed for different tasks.
