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 12).

Like all mechanical tools, reasonable care must

be used when operating machine.

INSTRUCTIONS:

GENERAL: Unit must be securely mounted to a trailer, truck bed, or other similar surface before use. Do not use this unit in a freestanding position. Unit is not stable until it has been secured in place.

Secure unit by bolting through the base of the unit and through the mounting surface using 3/8" dia. bolts, with washers and locking nuts (see fig. 1)

1)Remove the loose hardware from the clamp assembly so that there are 4 seperate pieces (remaining clamp assembly, two half plates, and a plate split).

2)Slide the assembled plates over the housing flange. The flange should rest between the bottom plate and the plate split.

3)Slide the elbow over the plate spacer and center it in the clamp. The elbow flange should now be resting on the housing flange between the plate split and the top plate.

Typical on both sides

4) Insert the other plate split beneath the plate spacer so

the holes align and the plate overlaps the flange on the elbow.
