Work positions:
Blow mode [ Fig. O4 ]:
Use your unit as a blower for sweeping debris or grass clippings from
driveways, sidewalks, patios, etc. Also, for blowing grass clippings, straw,
or leaves into piles, or removing debris from corners, around joints, or
between bricks.
For ErgoJet 3000 (EJ 3000) only:
Use the variable speed control to increase or decrease the motor speed
during blower use.
Direct air flow by directing the blower tube down or to one side.
Always work away from solid objects such as walks, large stones, vehicles,
and fences.
Clean corners by starting in corners and moving outward. This will help
prevent an accumulation of debris which could fly into your face. Be careful
when working near plants. The force of the air could damage tender plants.
Vacuum mode [ Fig. O5 ]:
Use your unit as a vacuum to pick up dry material such as leaves, grass,
small twigs, and bits of paper.
For best results during vacuum use, operate your unit at high speed.
Move slowly back and forth over the material as you vacuum. Avoid forcing
the unit into a pile of debris as this can clog the unit.
Keep the vacuum tube about an inch above the ground for best results.
WARNING! If the unit becomes clogged, stop the unit and
unplug the extension cord. Wait until the impeller has
completely stopped turning, then remove the vacuum
tubes. Carefully reach into the vacuum opening and clear out the
clogged debris.
This will reduce possible personal injury from the impeller.
