Using the Concentrator Nozzle Accessory

Install the power and concentrator nozzles into the blower tube to help reach into narrow spaces or to remove matted debris from hard surfaces.

g025397

Using the Oscillator Nozzle Accessory

Install the oscillator nozzle onto the blower tube to save time clearing hardscapes. It automatically sweeps the back-and-forth, creating a wider blowing path with less side-to-side wrist movement.

g026691

Note: Remove the oscillator nozzle before using the cord wrap to store the blower.

Using the Appliance as a Blower

The appliance is intended for residential use only. Use it outdoors to move debris as needed.

Warning

Using the appliance as a blower can throw debris, possibly causing serious personal injury to you or bystanders.

  • Do not blow hard objects such as nails, bolts, or rocks.

  • Do not operate the blower near bystanders or pets.

  • Use extra care when cleaning debris from stairs or other tight areas.

  • Wear safety goggles or other suitable eye protection, long pants, and shoes.

Using the Appliance as a Vacuum

The appliance used as a vacuum is intended for residential use only. Use it outdoors to collect debris as needed.

Warning

Using the appliance as a vacuum can throw debris, possibly causing serious personal injury to you or bystanders.

  • Do not operate the vacuum without the bag installed or with the bag zipper open.

  • Do not vacuum sharp, pointed, or hard objects that could be thrown through the fabric of the bag, such as wires, staples, nails, or rocks.

g004942

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.

Emptying the Bag

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

  2. Empty any debris from the bag.

    g025398

    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.

Removing Clogged Debris from the Impeller

  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.

    g025399
  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.
