Operation
Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.
Pre-Start
Make sure you understand the controls, their locations, their functions, and their safety requirements.
Ensure the blower, belt cover, bags, tube and hood are in good condition, properly attached, and latched.
For units above Serial Nos. 600,000 with Triton decks: Make sure that the adjustable dog leg baffle is closed to match the intake into the Ultra Vac Blower.
WARNING
If the blower intake opening is not correct it will allow objects to be thrown in operator’s or bystander’s direction. Also, contact with blade could occur. Thrown objects or blade contact can cause serious injury or kill you or bystanders.
Adjust dog leg baffle to match intake opening.
Refer to the Maintenance section and perform all the necessary inspection and maintenance steps.
