Clearing the Machine of Clogs and Jams
A clog or jam in the machine can cause the vacuuming operation to decrease or even stop completely. If
this occurs, take the following steps:
1. STOP THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY and disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug. Wait for all
moving parts to come to a complete stop.
2. Check (and clean, if necessary) the following areas in this order:
Check that the collection bag is not overfilled. Remove and empty bag.
While the bag is removed, check that the discharge deflector is not clogged or jammed. Use a stick to
clear away any debris.
Check that the vacuuming attachment is not clogged or jammed. Remove the attachment and thoroughly
clean the opening. While the attachment is removed, check the inlet opening to the machine. Use a
stick to clear away any debris.

1. Heavy concentration of sand and gravel should
be avoided. These materials are extremely
abrasive, and while the VAC 35 will handle
moderate amounts of these materials, it is not
designed for heavy applications. Treat your VAC
35 with reasonable care and it will repay you with
long, trouble-free service.
2. The VAC 35 will handle most common kinds of
debris found around industrial plants, commercial
buildings, homes, and farms. Acid contaminated
materials, magnesium, dust, and other
DANGEROUS DEBRIS that is considered
hazardous should not be handled with the VAC
35.
3. The efficiency of this unit depends on the
breathing capacity of the dust bag. Under
extremely dusty conditions the bag should be
emptied and cleaned frequently. Always empty
and clean bag before storing after use. Debris
allowed to remain in the bag may cause
spontaneous combustion, resulting in an
explosion or fire. See instructions supplied with
dust bag.
