ASSEMBLY
CAUTION
STEP 2: INSTALL COLLECTION BAG
For
1.Stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug, and make sure that all moving parts have come to a complete stop.
2, Make sure the bag (A in Figure 4) is zipped
3.Place the collection bag straps over the handlebars,
4.Line up the tabs on the bag inlet adapter (B) with the slots in the discharge opening (C) and slide the bag inlet
adapter down all the way into the slots. Turn the retaining knob (F) until the tab on the knob drops into the slot on the top of the bag inlet adapter
STEP 3: ADJUST THE VACUUM INLET HEIGHT
The vacuum inlet height can be adjusted to six different settings in approximately 1/2" increments. These
settings allow inlet suction to be adjusted for varying needs, For example, when vacuuming deep layers of leaves, adjust the vacuum inlet height at the front of the machine to its highest setting as described below (see Figure 5):
1.Stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire
from the spark plug, and make sure that all moving parts have come to a complete stop,
2.Squeeze the adjuster lever (A in Figure 5) toward the wheel to disengage the adjuster pin from the hole in the height adjuster bracket,
3.Rotate the adjuster lever toward the rear (discharge opening) of the machine to raise the height and then
release the adjuster lever so that the adjuster pin engages the selected hole in the bracket, Rotate the lever in the opposite direction to lower the inlet height.
4.Be sure that both adjuster levers are adjusted to the same height

NOTE: Thei'od (D) on the inlet adapter is part of the machine's safety interlock system Make sure that the rod fits securely in the slot in the safety interlockswitch (E).
BAG MAINTENANCE TIP: Keep the bag clean by occasionally washing it (by hand) with mild soap and water A clean bag improves air flow and results in
better vacuuming performance, Do not wash the bag in an automatic washer Do not use a cleaner which
contains bleach Allow the bag to dry thoroughly before storing,
