SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING

Before performing any type of maintenance on the machine, wait for all parts to stop moving and disconnect the spark plug wire. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or property damage.

Drive Control Cable Adjustment

Adjust the drive control cable if the yard vacuum does not self propel with the drive control engaged, or if the unit hesitates while the engine maintains the same speed after approximately 20 hours of use.

To move the z-fitting of the drive control cable from its factory set position in the front hole of the drive control to the rear hole, proceed as follows:

1.Push the right side of the control out of the right hole in the upper handle. See Figure 18A.

2.Pivot control down towards the lower handle.

3.Pivot straight up to remove it from the left hole in the upper handle. See Figure 18A.

4.There is now sufficient slack in the drive control cable to grasp the z-fitting with your hand and move it from the front hole to the rear hole of the drive control. See Figure 18B.

IMPORTANT: Make sure to insert the z-fitting into the rear hole as it was inserted in the front hole, that is from the outside of the drive control.

5.You may now carefully reinstall the drive control by performing the previous steps in the opposite order and manner of removal.

IMPORTANT: Once assembled and prior to restarting, make sure that the cable is properly adjusted. With the drive control disengaged, the unit should freely pull in reverse.
