Adjusting Hose Boom

DL Owner’s Manual

VACUUMING OPERATION

EXHAUST DIRECTION & DISTANCE: Exhaust direction and distance are controlled by the rotation of the exhaust elbow. Typically debris is aimed to discharge to the rear of the container. The direction of discharge is adjusted by turning the crank on the exhaust elbow clamp and rotating the elbow to the desired direction.

NOTE: Elbow is heavy. Use caution when adjusting. Never stand directly under the elbow while adjusting direction of exhaust.

Never direct exhaust into an area where bystanders may cross the path of the debris.

INTAKE OPERATION: With machine running and fully assembled, move the nozzle in sweeping motions over debris. Always allow air to flow into the nozzle along with the debris. Do not completely block the nozzle when vacuuming, it will reduce performance, and increase clogging (See figure 3).

For removal of heavier debris, or debris that is stuck to the ground, rock nozzle forward to concentrate suction power around the debris (See figure 4).

Properly adjusting the boom will prevent most hose clogs from occurring and will maximize vacuum performance by keeping the hose straight and perpendicular to the housing (see fig. 5). Height adjustments are made by raising or lowering one of the attachment links to a different area on the chain.

UNCLOGGING A CLOGGED HOSE

With engine running and unit secured to a trailer, truck bed, or other similar surface, fully stretch hose in a straight line to dislodge the clog. If the clog will not clear, turn unit off, and allow engine to come to a complete stop. Remove hose and manually clear hose clog. NOTE: The clogged debris may be sharp. Always wear durable gloves when removing clog.

UNCLOGGING A CLOGGED HOUSING OR EXHAUST ELBOW

Turn engine off and wait for impeller to come to a complete stop. Disconnect spark plug wires and battery cables. Remove the hose from the housing and determine where the clog is located. If possible clear the clog through the intake opening. It may require removal of the intake adaptor (item 33) to allow access to clear the housing. If clog is in the elbow, carefully remove the elbow. Remove elbow by removing the bolts and nuts on the elbow clamp so that the plates can be removed.

NOTE: Elbow is very heavy. Do not stand directly under elbow during removal. Danger, the clog may contain sharp materials. Wearing durable gloves, clear the clog. Reconnect spark plug wire.

HOSE CARE AND TIPS

To increase hose life, periodically rotate hose and reposition nozzle and coupler on front plate of unit. This increases hose life by keeping hose from wearing only on one side.

Keep hose as straight as possible and avoid sharp bends during operation for best pick- up and to avoid clogs.

Never drag hose. Always remove and store hose before transporting unit. Store hose straight and flat to maintain flexibility for next use.

THE HOSE IS A REPLACEABLE WEAR ITEM.

STORAGE

Turn fuel supply off when unit is not in use. 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. HOSE STORAGE: Storing hose in a covered area, out of sunlight and heat will prolong hose life. Do not store hose where it could be stepped on or where other objects could crush or damage hose.
