Clearing a Blocked Tube/Impeller
mWARNING! To avoid serious personal injury, be sure
the unit is OFF and unplugged before clearing the impeller.
mWARNING! To avoid serious personal injury, always
wear gloves to protect yourself from the impeller blades or
other sharp objects.
During the vacuuming/mulching process, certain objects such
as cloth, rope, or large diameter sticks may obstruct the fan
and block the motor. A thermal protection device, which is
built into the blower vac, will cut o the electricity to the motor
to prevent damage from overheating.
In the event an obstruction occurs and power is curtailed:
1. Slide the ON/OFF switch to the OFF (O) position until the
unit comes to a complete stop.
2. Unplug the unit.
3. Remove the blower tube or vacuum/mulcher tubes and
the collection bag.
4. Using protective gloves, carefully remove the material
blocking the tube or impeller. Inspect the blades to ensure
no damage has occurred. Rotate the impeller blades by
hand to ensure the blockage is completely cleared.
5. Reinstall the blower tube or vacuum/mulcher tubes and
the collection bag.
6. Wait 3 minutes for the motor to cool.
7. Plug the unit back into the power supply and turn the
ON/OFF switch to the ON (I) position. The blower vac will
resume normal function.
