- GMC Blower Vacuum Instruction Manual

lower cavity below the blow/vac tube.
Ensure when the blow operation is selected the blower
vac is pointed, directed and used in a safe manner. Do
not direct the air flow from this blower vac directly or
indirectly towards another person.
To select the vacuum operation
1. Push the selector lever
forward (fig I).
When the vacuum operation
is selected, air and debris is
drawn up through the large
vac tube, and forced through
the mulching impellor.
The debris is mulched and
then blown down into the
collection bag.
Important. Always ensure the collection bag is correctly
attached as per the “Fitting the collection bag” section in
this manual.
Always be aware of what is being drawn up into the
blow/vac tube. This product is only designed for garden
debris like leaves, twigs and garden cuttings.
Important notes when using the
blower/vacuum selector lever
Do not force the lever. The lever should move with
very little resistance. If the lever is difficult to move,
disconnect the power supply, remove the collection bag
and ensure debris, dirt or mud has not jammed the lever
inside the large round outlet.
When selecting either of the operations, ensure the
selector lever is fully in one position or the other, not
half way.
To empty the collection bag
The collection bag is attached to the blower vac in 2
places. It is not necessary to remove the collection bag
from the blower vac when the bag needs to be emptied.
• The rear of the bag is fitted with a full length zip.
• Simply open the zip and empty the contents.
• Ensure to close the zip prior to operating the blower vac.
Tips for using your blower vac
The following points may assist you in the operation of
the blower vac.
• Always try and vacuum dry leaves, cuttings or general
garden debris.
• Wet material is difficult to mulch and also can cause
the blower vac to clog.
• If the leaves etc. are damp, then use the blower vac in
blow selection to pile the leaves etc. into one area, vac
and mulch the leaves when dry.
• Avoid using the vac on areas where there are stones,
or other hard objects. These objects will damage the
impellor of the blower vac.
• It is also advisable not to allow the blower vac to
pick up soil. Soil generally contains moisture and
when combined with other garden debris can clog the
blower vac.
• The blower vac is not a garbage disposal unit. Do not
attempt to mulch any material than general garden
debris.
• For better performance and comfort, it is recommended
the collection bag is emptied when it becomes
approximately half full. This reduces the weight and also
allows the vac operation to perform at its highest level.
