What Is the Blue Diamond Liner?
The Blue Diamond Liner is made from heat-treated, tempered, and precision-rolled alloy steel with a tensile strength of 200,000 psi and a hardness rating of 46 Rockwell C. This premium liner will outlast ordinary steel many times over, providing exceptional protection against the high-speed wear and abrasion that occurs during operation.

Large property maintenance needs
Expected Lifespan
While the Blue Diamond Liner substantially outlasts standard steel, its actual lifespan depends on several factors:
Frequency of use
Types of debris collected
Operating conditions
Terrain characteristics
Even with its superior durability, the Blue Diamond Liner can still experience wear and tear under extreme conditions, though at a much slower rate than standard steel.
Important Notes:
Must be ordered with new Cyclone Rake or Blower Replacement Kit
Not available as aftermarket upgrade
Professional installation required
Why It Matters
Lawn vacuums operate under extreme conditions, with debris moving at speeds up to 170 mph. The Blue Diamond Liner provides exceptional protection against this high-speed wear and abrasion, significantly extending the life of your equipment and providing peace of mind during operation.
