EMPTYING THE VACUUM BAG
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always stop
the engine and allow the impeller to come to a complete stop
before opening the vacuum bag.
Vacuumed debris is mulched as it passes through the impeller. This
allows the vacuum bag to hold more debris.
Empty the vacuum bag whenever it becomes full. When the vacuum
bag is full, suction will decrease noticeably. Also empty the vacuum
bag after each operation to prevent the deterioration of the vacuum
bag and the obstruction of air flow.
1. Wear eye protection and a dust mask.
2. Lift the buckle to loosen the cinch strap (Fig. 7).
3. Remove the vacuum elbow tube from the vacuum bag (Fig. 7).
4. Unzip the vacuum bag and empty the contents into a garbage
bag or an appropriate container.
5. Turn the vacuum bag inside-out and vigorously shake out any
remaining dust and debris. Turn the vacuum bag right-side-out.
6. Re-install the vacuum bag. Refer to Installing the Vacuum Bag in
the Assembly section.
