Operation-
Flying debris hazard. Never operate unit as a vacuum unless discharge elbow is installed and debris bag is securely
cinched to elbow. Failure to follow instructions can result in serious injuries.
NOTE
Vacuum action works best at higher engine speeds. Avoid using vacuum in areas where rocks or other large, hard debris may
be vacuumed into unit. Clear these areas with blower first, blowing light debris into a pile. Use attachment to vacuum pile.
Be aware that fan or fan case will rapidly wear if unit vacuums up abrasive objects such as sand, dirt mixed with sand, or crushed
stones. Also, vacuuming up sticky material like mud or fallen leaves turning to leaf mold may cause fan case or pipe to clog.Con-
tact the local ECHO dealer in your area should you notice a significant decrease in suction power or abnormal vibrations using
your unit.

Operation
DANGER
1.
Adjust debris bag strap to support bag on operator's shoul-
der. Bag must not be folded at intake area, or intake will clog.
Further adjustment may be necessary as the debris bag fills
and becomes heavier.
2.
Grip top handle with left hand, and rear handle with right
hand. Keep unit to your right side so hot exhaust will be di-
rected away from you.
3.
Operate unit with beveled end of tube facing downward.
Keep tube opening close to material being vacuumed for
best results.
4.
Empty bag when debris level reaches intake opening. To
empty bag, move stop switch to "Stop" position, and wait for
blower to stop running. Loosen Velcro strap at elbow and
slide bag off elbow. Open other end of bag, and empty con-
tents. Close bag, and reattach to blower. Secure bag with
Velcro strap.
Cause
Elbow or debris bag clogged.
Obstructions in vacuum tube.
Object stuck in fan housing area.
Material being vacuumed too big or
