OPERATION

1616

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.

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: Adjust nozzle close to debris,

but without blocking airflow into the nozzle.

NOTE

: Never bury

nozzle into debris.

VACUUMING OPERATION

Like all mechanical tools, reasonable care must

be used when operating 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).

Inspect machine work area and machine before operat-

ing. Make sure that all operators of this equipment are

trained in general machine use and safety.

PUT OIL IN ENGINE BEFORE STARTING.

16.116.1

16.1

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.

16.216.2

16.2

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.

DEBRIS BAG

Debris bags are normal replaceable wear items.

16.316.3

16.3

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).
