6.1 Cleaning
Ensure regular cleaning of
the Garden Vac!
To clean the vacuum tube (1),
we recommend the use of
a bottle brush, or similar.
Clean the casing of the Garden
Vac with a soft dry cloth. Never
clean it under running water.

Garden Vac after use.
6.2 Blockage (ill. L/M)
Deposits of leaves and fresh
plant clippings may block up the

To clear clogging or blockage,
proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the mains plug!

cover (23) and remove it.

with a bottle brush, or similar.

blocked within the blow-off
connecting piece (15), unscrew
it using screw (15b) and clear
the blockage.
