Emptying the Debris Bag
•
MOVE THE MACHINE TO LEVEL AREA BEFORE CLEANING.
•
BEFORE EMPTYING THE DEBRIS BAG, BE SURE THAT THE ENGINE HAS COME TO A COMPLETE
STOP.
•
NEVER PLACE THE DEBRIS BAG ON OR NEAR A HOT SURFACE SUCH AS THE ENGINE.
•
EMPTY THE DEBRIS BAG FREQUENTLY TO PREVENT BAG OVERLOADING RESULTING IN MORE
WEIGHT THAN YOU CAN LIFT.
•
USE CAUTION AND WEAR GLOVES WHEN EMPTYING THE DEBRIS BAG.
•
USE CAUTION AND ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES WHEN HANDLING A DEBRIS BAG THAT YOU HAVE USED
FOR VACUUMING GLASS. MINUTE PARTICLES OF GLASS MAY REMAIN ON THE BAG SURFACE THAT
MAY CUT YOU.
•
NEVER REUSE A DEBRIS BAG TO COLLECT COMPOST MATERIAL THAT HAS BEEN USED PREVIOUSLY
TO VACUUM GLASS. GROUND UP BOTTLES RESULT IN FINE DUST, BUT THE DUST WILL HAVE SHARP
EDGES AND SHOULD NOT BE HANDLED OR EATEN. IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF THE PRESENCE OF
GLASS, SUCH AS FROM VACUUMING A PARKING AREA, ROAD, OR SIDEWALK, DO NOT REUSE THE
BAG FOR COMPOST. USE A NEW OR DEDICATED DEBRIS BAG TO OBTAIN COMPOST MATERIAL AND
USE THE OTHER BAG FOR DEBRIS.
•
WE RECOMMEND CHANGING BOTH THE INNER LINER AND THE OUTER BAG AFTER
VACUUMING GLASS AND OTHER DEBRIS AND BEFORE USING THE SYSTEM TO VACUUM
MATERIAL THAT MAY BE USED FOR COMPOST OR MULCH.
•
ALSO, EMPTY THE DEBRIS BAG FREQUENTLY TO PREVENT SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION DUE TO
DECAYING MATERIAL.
•
WHEN REPLACING THE DEBRIS BAG, ALWAYS CHECK FOR TEARS OR PIN HOLES AND MAKE SURE
YOU HAVE A GOOD SEAL BETWEEN THE BAG FRAME AND THE TOP SHIELD ASSEMBLY.
1. Unhook the two (2) Rubber Flexible Latches from the Latch Plates on the Top Shield Assembly. See
Figure 14b on page 25.
2. Slide the Debris Bag frame all the way out of the Top Shield Assembly channels, supporting the frame
so as not to drop it after removing from the channels.
3. Empty the Debris Bag in a suitable location.
4. Replace the Debris Bag in the reverse order, making sure that the Bag Presence Interlock Switch is
properly engaged (see Figure 14c on page 25).
NOTE: Debris Bags are normal replaceable wear items not covered under the warranty. An Optional Disposable
Debris Bag Liner (P/N 21794) is available in a package of twelve (12) through Country Home Products,
Inc. to help extend the life the Debris Bag. See the next page for installing and removing the Optional
Debris Bag Liner.
