OPERATION

VACUUMING OPERATION

VACUUM NOZZLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT: Nozzle height is raised and lowered by rotating the red knob near the left rear wheel. Nozzle height should be adjusted based on the task being performed.

FOR MAXIMUM PICKUP: Adjust nozzle close to debris, but without blocking airflow into the nozzle. NOTE: Never bury nozzle into debris.

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.

DEBRIS BAG

Debris bags are normal replaceable wear items.

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

An optional felt bag 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. 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 4-5).

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.

Pressure-wash debris bag if normal cleaning does not fully clean bag. Bag should be thoroughly dry before use. NOTE: 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.
