Important: Vacuum only dry leaves and soft items. Hard items such as sticks, rocks, acorns, and pine cones will damage the impeller.

Important: Do not force the vacuum tube into a pile of debris or hold the tube upright while force feeding debris into the tube. Either action may clog and damage the impeller. If the vacuum starts to vibrate or make abnormal noise, stop it, unplug the cord, and check for the cause.

1. Turn off the appliance and unplug it from the power source.

2. Empty any debris from the bag.

   

   Figure 12

   Do not store debris in the bag. To clean the bag, turn it inside out and shake out any excess debris. Once a year, hand wash the bag in soapy water and allow it to air dry.

   Danger

   Normal usage of the bag causes it to wear and deteriorate over time. A worn or deteriorated bag allows small objects to be thrown through the bag, possibly injuring you or bystanders.

   Check the bag frequently. If it is worn or deteriorated, replace it with a genuine Toro vacuum bag.

   Always use the shoulder strap whenever you use the appliance with the bag. This prevents the bag from dragging on the ground, reducing bag wear and deterioration.

1. Turn off and unplug the appliance from the power source and wait for all moving parts to stop.

2. Remove the vacuum tube then remove the debris from impeller blades.

   

   Figure 13

3. Check the impeller for any signs of damage. If it is damaged, contact your Authorized Toro Dealer.

4. Install the vacuum tube or, if you want to switch to blower mode, the bottom inlet cover. Refer to Converting from Blower to Vacuum or Converting from Vacuum to Blower for more information.
