• A high speed should be used to vacuum larger or wet leaves and grass.
• Dispose of debris in the bag more frequently in dusty condition.

When you hear or feel strange sounds or vibrations, stop engine immediately and check if anything blocks fans or
pipes. If so, remove it and check for damage.’
