VACUUM NOZZLE HEIGHT ADJUST

For maximum pickup : Adjust nozzle height as close to debris as possible, but without blocking airflow into the nozzle. NOTE : Never bury nozzle into debris.

The vacuum nozzle is raised and lowered by turning the crank handle clockwise and counter-clockwise. (See Fig. 10)

VACUUM NOZZLE DOOR ADJUSTMENT

The vacuum nozzle door adjusts for the maximum performance under various applications.

Fig . 10

• With the handle fully back the nozzle is fully opened. This is ideal for turf application. (See Fig . 11)

• For hard surface applications, set the handle midway. (See Fig . 12)

• Close nozzle for use with the Optional Hose Kit (P/N 840116). This adjustment is ideal to use with the Hose Kit.

(See Fig . 13)

Fig . 11 Fig . 12

VACUUMING OPERATION

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. In dusty conditions it maybe necessary to purchase Felt Bag Kit (P/N 840022).

Fig . 13 REPRODUCTION

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 22).

CLEARING A CLOGGED NOZZLE

DISCONNECT spark plug wire before servicing unit.

2. Disconnect spark plug wire.

3. Wearing durable gloves, remove clog. Caution: clog may contain sharp materials.

4. Reconnect spark plug wire. NOT

DEBRIS BAG

Debris bags are normal replaceable wear items.

Bag liners are available for use in various conditions where debris will be vacuumed. (See Bag Liner Accessories on page

1).

DO NOT place bag on or near hot surface, such as engine.

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

*****TIPS*****

.

Frequently empty debris to prevent bag overloading with more weight than you can lift.

Many vacuums are used where dust is mixed with trash. Your unit can intermittently vacuum in dusty areas. However, following these rules will help maintain your machine's ability to vacuum in dusty conditions:

• Run machine at idle to quarter throttle.

• 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 bags (P/N 840189) is a good way to reduce down time while dirty bags are being cleaned.

Felt Bag (P/N 840194) accessory is great when used in dusty conditions .

IMPELLER REMOVAL

READ all safety instructions before servicing unit.

DISCONNECT spark plug wire before servicing unit.

1. Wait for engine to cool and disconnect spark plug.

2. Drain fuel and oil from the engine.

3. Remove engine, impeller and mounting plate by removing bolts around outside of housing.

4. Leaving engine fastened to plate, remove impeller bolt and lock washer and slide impeller off crankshaft. (A puller may be required).

CAUTION: Do not drop impeller.

5. 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.

6. If the impeller cannot be loosened, obtain a 3/8-24 x 2 3/4” 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.

7. To reinstall impeller, use a new impeller bolt and lock washer.

8. Tighten impeller bolt. Torque impeller bolt to 33-38 Ft. Lbs. (45-51 N.m).

9. Reinstall engine, impeller, and mounting plate onto housing in reverse order of removal.

10. Before connecting spark plug wire, slowly pull engine starting rope to insure that impeller rotates freely.

11. Reconnect spark plug wire.
