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 8).

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.

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: Operated with throttle control (Honda only).

PRIMER: Push primer on Briggs & Stratton Engines.

THROTTLE: Move remote throttle control to fast position.

Pull starting rope to start engine.

IF YOUR UNIT FAILS TO START:

See Troubleshooting on page 8.

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.

HANDLING & TRANSPORTING:

VACUUMING OPERATION

VACUUM NOZZLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT:

is raised and lowered by pushing slightly downward on handle and pulling grip rod at left side of handle. The nozzle height can be adjusted during operation without stopping.

FOR MAXIMUM PICKUP:

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

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 Height Fine Adjustment For Hard Surface

Use:

Optimum nozzle height is 1/2" (12.7mm) above ground with engine not running. To adjust height, loosen screws (item 37), on quad plate. Prop front of nozzle up 1.0" (25.4mm) above ground. Keeping wheels on ground, re-tighten screws (item 37).

Recheck and fine adjust to obtain 1/2" (12.7mm) at nozzle front

Lowers

Nozzle

Rod In

First Hole

Item 37 Ref. Securely

Tighten, position slots toward unit. Can be reversed to provide better hole alignment if required.

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.
