Emptying/Replacing the Collection Bag
The Debris bags can be reused if they are in good condition. Do not reuse if
there are tears or overly wet/soiled areas.
• Replace or empty the Bag as soon as it is full (check by feeling sides of Bag).
Overfilling the bag will cause the vacuuming performance to decrease or stop
completely and could lead to clogging of the discharge tube, snout, or both.
• Empty or remove the Bag completely BEFORE storing the machine to prevent
premature deterioration of the Bag caused from rotting debris and the
possibility of a fire occurring as a result of heat generated by decomposing
debris.
