WARNING

Read and follow Operating

Instructions before running engine.

Gasoline is flammable. Allow engine to cool at least 2 minutes before fueling.

Engines emit carbon monoxide,

DO NOT run in enclosed area.

OPERATION

INTENDED USE: This machine is designed for vacuuming leaves, grass clippings and other types of organic litter.

Debris mixed with cans, bottles and small amounts of sand can be vacuumed; however, it is not this machine's primary purpose. Vacuuming cans, bottles and sand will affect the longevity of your machine.

Do not operate if excessive vibration occurs. If excessive vibration occurs, shut engine off immediately and check for damaged or worn impeller, loose impeller bolt, loose impeller key, loose engine or lodged foreign objects. Note: See parts list for proper impeller bolt torque specifications. (See trouble shooting section on page 12).

Like all mechanical tools, reasonable care must be used when operating machine.

Inspect machine work area and machine before operating. Make sure that all operators of this equipment are trained in general machine use and safety.

CLEARING A CLOGGED NOZZLE

& EXHAUST:

Turn engine off and wait for impeller to stop completely and disconnect spark plug wire.

Wearing durable gloves, remove clog. Danger, the clog may contain sharp materials. Reconnect spark plug wire.

NOZZLE GOBBLER DOOR.

Large debris can be vacuumed without readjusting nozzle height by temporarily opening the remote Nozzle Gobbler

Door. For maximum pickup of small debris, the gobbler door must be down, flush with front face of nozzle.

OPTIONAL HOSE KIT

(see page 1).

PUT OIL IN ENGINE BEFORE STARTING.

STARTING

ENGINE: See engine manufacturer’s instructions for type and amount of oil and gasoline used. Engine must be level when checking and filling oil and gasoline.

ENGINE SPEED: Controlled by throttle lever on the handle.

Under normal conditions, operate at minimum throttle to accomplish your current cleaning task.

FUEL VALVE: Move fuel valve to "ON" position (when provided on engine).

CHOKE: Located at lower rear area of carburetor bowl. Choke engine before starting when engine is cold.

PRIMER: Push primer per engine instructions.

THROTTLE: Move remote throttle control to fast position. Pull starting rope to start engine.

IF YOUR UNIT FAILS TO START:

See Troubleshooting on page 12.

VACUUMING OPERATION

VACUUM NOZZLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT:

Is adjusted by unlocking wing nut (item 13) and turning caster knob. Turning the knob clockwise increases height. Be sure the nozzle height is level (left to right) before tightening caster wing nuts.

Adjust nozzle height according to surface conditions and debris size; For vacuuming on flat surfaces, set nozzle 1/2"

(12.7 mm) to 5/8" (15.8 mm) above ground; Higher for uneven terrain and turf.

FOR MAXIMUM PICKUP:

A djust nozzle close to debris, but without blocking airflow into the nozzle. NOTE: Never bury nozzle into debris.

DEBRIS BAG

Debris bags are normal replaceable wear items.

Note: Frequently empty debris to prevent bag overloading with

more weight than you can lift.

An optional bag and dust cover is available for use where debris will be vacuumed in dusty conditions (see Optional Accessories shown on

page 1.)

DO NOT place bag on or near hot surface, such as engine. Run engine at 1/2 throttle for first 1/2 hour to condition new bag. Your new bag requires a break-in period to condition the pores of the material against premature blockage. The entire bag surface serves as a filter, and must be able to breath to have good vacuum performance.

Be sure engine has come to a complete stop before removing or emptying bag.

This vacuum is designed for picking up trash, organic material and other similar debris (see Safety Warnings page 2-3).

However, many vacuums are used where dust is mixed with trash. Your unit can intermittently vacuum in dusty areas. Dust is the greatest cause of lost vacuum performance. However, following these rules will help maintain your machine's ability to vacuum in dusty conditions:

•

Run machine at idle to quarter throttle.

•

The debris bag must be cleaned more frequently. A vacuum with a clean, pillow soft bag will have good pickup performance.

One with a dirty, tight bag will have poor pickup performance. If dirty, empty debris and vigorously shake bag free of dust.

•

Machine or pressure-wash debris bag if normal cleaning does not fully clean bag. Bag should be thoroughly dry before use.

Having one or more spare debris bags is a good way to reduce down time while dirty bags are being cleaned.

•

DO NOT leave debris in bag while in storage.

PROPULSION

self propelled only

PROPULSION: BG self-propelled vacuums are equipped with 1 forward gear, neutral and reverse. With the engine running, the bail in released position and brake in on position, select desired drive gear. Lift bail against handle to engage drive (see figure 1 & 2). Smoothly engage the bail.

Use good judgement when operating the self-propelled drive.

Using neutral, on level terrain is advisable when maneuvering in tight areas. This increases operator control, and can prevent bumping into nearby objects.

Do not force-shift gears of transmission. To assist gear meshing, it may be necessary to partially engage bail while shifting.

To stop machine, release operator's bail.

For reverse - Set Throttle to Idle.

With operator's bail released, pull shift lever reverse position. Then smoothly lift operator's bail against handle.

Release bail to stop (see figure 2).

HANDLING & TRANSPORTING:

Using two people to lift machine is recommended. Lift holding the handle and front of nozzle. Secure in place during transport.

STORAGE

Never store engine indoors or in enclosed poorly ventilated areas with fuel in tank, where fuel fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light, as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or other gas appliance.

If engine is to be unused for 30 days or more, prepare as follows:

Be sure engine is cool. Do not smoke. Remove all gasoline from carburetor and fuel tank to prevent gum deposits from forming on these parts and causing possible malfunction of engine. Drain fuel outdoors, into an approved container, away from open flame. Run engine until fuel tank is empty and engine runs out of gasoline.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer (such as Sta-Bil) is an acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container. Always follow mix ratio found on stabilizer container. Run engine at least 10 min. after adding stabilizer to allow it to reach the carburetor.

Do not store with debris in bag.

7. Remove impeller bolt and lock washer.

8. If impeller slides off freely, proceed to (step 11).

(Do not drop impeller).

9. If impeller does not slide off crankshaft, place two crowbars between impeller and housing on opposite sides. Pry impeller away from engine until it loosens. Using a penetrating oil can help loosen a stuck impeller.

10. If the impeller cannot be loosened, obtain a 1” (25.4mm) longer bolt of the same diameter and thread type as the impeller bolt.

Invert engine and impeller and support engine above ground to prevent recoil damage. Thread longer bolt by hand into the crankshaft until bolt bottoms. Using a suitable gear or wheel puller against the bolt head and the impeller back-plate (near the blades), remove impeller from shaft.

11. Remove engine base mounting bolts, and nuts.

12. Slide engine shaft out of impeller.

13. When impeller is free of the engine shaft, align impeller with

opening, and diagonally lift impeller out of housing.

14. Using a new impeller bolt and lockwasher, reinstall new impeller

in reverse order order of removal.

15. Tighten impeller bolt (see item 27 of parts list on page 8 for

proper torque specifications.

16.

(Self propelled models only) When impeller is installed, slide belt into drive pulley and adjust guard belt guide as shown on page 11 (see fig. 3 & 4).

17. Reattach nozzle and both caster brackets in reverse order of removal.

18. (Self propelled models only) Check operator's bail to

ensure that it operates properly. If not, see drive adjust

ments on page 11). Note: Drive must completely disengage

with bail released and must engage when bail is depressed

within 1.0" (25.4mm) of the operator's handle..

Chains and Belts are normal replaceable wear items. A new chain should not be used on worn sprockets. Sprockets should be replaced when replacing chains.

BELT ADJUSTMENT

As V-belt wears, adjustments may be required. Adjust belt by tightening or by loosening clutch cable nut as required. See figure 3 & 4. When replacing belt, see impeller removal on page 10. See parts list for impeller bolt torque specifications.

DO NOT OVER ADJUST.

CHAIN LUBRICATION

With machine not running, oil chain using general S.A.E. 30 weight oil every 25 hours or as needed. Note: Be sure that entire length of chain is properly oiled. Oiling only a few positions in the chain rotation will not properly oil the chain.
