L.Discharge Extension Kit Assembly Instructions
Contents Included in Kit:
1.Discharge Extension Hose (720436)
2.Hose Clamp (720388)
Tools Needed:
1.9/16" Box Wrench or Socket Wrench w/ 9/16" Socket
2.Socket Wrench w/ 3/8" Socket or Flat Head Screw Driver
3.Utility Knife (if required)
4.Heavy Duty Wire Cutters (if required)
Disassembly and Assembly Instructions:
1.Turn off the TruckLoader and disconnect both of the spark plug wires from the engine.
2.Disassemble the TruckLoader Discharge Flapper by removing the knob, (2) nuts, (2) washers, and (3) bolts.
3.Remove the Discharge Flapper from the Discharge Nozzle.
4.Slide the Discharge Extension Hose over the end of the Discharge Nozzle where the Flapper has been removed. Make sure the Hose has overlapped the Discharge Nozzle by at least 6 inches.
5.Secure the attachment of the Discharge Extension Hose to the Discharge Nozzle with the supplied Hose Clamp. When installing the Hose Clamp, make sure it is positioned between the 1st and 2nd coil of the Discharge Extension Hose. Once in position, tighten the clamp to ensure a firm connection of the two parts.
6.Insert the opposite end of the Discharge Extension Hose into the receiver box on your truck. In the event the Hose is too long for your application, you can choose to cut it to a shorter length. If you shorten the length of this hose, make sure enough hose is left to properly install and secure it into the truck.
7.Once the Hose is properly fit into your truck, secure it in place with a rope, bungee cord, etc., as required to secure it in place.
8.Make sure the Discharge Nozzle and Discharge Extension Hose is positioned to ensure a straight flow from the TruckLoader into your receiver box.
9.Once everything has been properly positioned and secured, reconnect both spark plug wires on your engine.
Maintenance and Operation:
1.Be sure to check the positioning and all connections of your TruckLoader before starting.
2.To increase the life of your Discharge Extension Hose, periodically rotate the position of this hose. This can be accomplished by repeating the Assembly instructions specified above.
Operation:
A.Starting the Engine
1.Check the oil level. Add oil if necessary.
2.Check the air cleaner for dirty, loose, or damaged parts. Clean or replace parts as necessary.
3.Check the air intake and cooling area for dirt or debris and clean as necessary.
4.Move the choke control lever to the “choke” position.
5.Move the throttle control lever to the middle position.
6.Turn the ignition key clockwise to start the engine. As soon as the engine starts, release the key.
7.After letting the engine warm up, slowly move the choke lever to the “open” run position.
8.See the engine manual for additional information on starting.
B.Vacuuming
1.This machine has been designed for two methods of vacuuming debris.
•With the handles of the Intake Nozzle in the operator’s hands, move the Nozzle back and forth in a sweeping motion over the debris.
•Rotate the Hose Assembly 90 degrees at the Inlet to allow the Intake Nozzle to lay sideways on the ground. By placing the Nozzle in this position, debris can be raked into the Nozzle by the operator.
2.While large amounts of debris can be vacuumed quickly with this machine, caution must be taken to avoid blocking the airflow into the Nozzle.
3.To increase the life of your Hose, periodically rotate the Intake Nozzle with respect to the Hose. This will allow the hose to wear more evenly.
C.Stopping the Engine
1.Move the throttle control lever to the “turtle” (slow) position.
2.Turn the key to the “off” position.
D.Debris Blockage
1.If a decrease in suction is experienced, there may be a debris blockage in the hose. To remove this blockage, simply grab the handles of the Intake Nozzle and stretch the hose out into a straight line with respect to the Inlet of the unit while the engine is at full throttle.
2.In the event the suction of the hose remains decreased after completing step #1, there may be a blockage in the housing. In order to inspect the unit for blockages, complete the following steps:
