hillside.
� To avoid injury to the operator or unit, do not pick up
rocks, broken glass, bottles, or other similar objects.
� If the vacuum tubes should clog, stop the engine and

obstruction.
 Remove the vacuum tubes and clear the debris from the
blower fan housing. Remove the bag and clear the tube.
A small rod or stick may be required to clear the entire
tube length. Ensure that all debris has been cleared before
reassembling the vacuum tubes.
