Vacuum Operation - Homelite UT26HBV Manual Del Operador

 Conserve water by using power blowers instead of hoses
for many lawn and garden applications, including areas
such as gutters, screens, patios, grills, porches, and
gardens.
 Operate blower at the lowest possible throttle speed to
do the job.
 Check your equipment before operation, especially the
muffler, air intakes, and air filters.
 Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
 In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces when water
is available.
 Watch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly
washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
 Hold blower, as shown in Figure 10, so the air stream can
work close to the ground.
 After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP!
Dispose of debris properly.
 Use the sweeper nozzle for the everyday blowing opera-
tion. This nozzle allows for more area to be covered during
the blowing operation.
CRUISE CONTROL LEVER/THROTTLE LOCK
See Figure 12.
The cruise control lever/throttle lock can be used to operate
the blower without holding the throttle trigger.
 To engage, pull cruise control lever/throttle lock back
towards user, and stop at the desired throttle setting.
 To release, push cruise control lever/throttle lock all the
way towards the front of unit.
OPERATION

VACUUM OPERATION

See Figure 13.
WARNING:
Never run the unit without the vacuum tubes and vacuum
bag installed. Use of an improperly assembled unit could
result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Keep the muffler and all hot surfaces of the blower/
vacuum away from your body. Failure to do so could
result in possible serious personal injury.
 Install the vacuum tubes and the bag. Refer to the
Assembly section earlier in this manual.
 Start the blower. Refer to Starting and Stopping earlier
in this manual.
 Place the vacuum bag strap over your right shoulder.
Hold the upper handle in your left hand and the vacuum
handle in your right hand.
 Move the blower/vacuum from side to side along outer
edge of the debris. To avoid clogging, do not place the
vacuum tube directly into the debris pile.
 Hold the engine higher than the inlet end of the vacuum
tube.
 Always point vacuum tube downhill when working on a
hillside.
 To avoid serious injury to the operator or damage to the
unit, do not pick up rocks, metal, broken glass, bottles,
or other similar objects.
 If the vacuum tubes should clog, stop the engine , ensure
impeller blades have stopped spinning, and disconnect
the spark plug wire before cleaning out the 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.
