VACUUM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION!
ALWAYS STOP ENGINE AND DISCONNECT SPARK PLUG WIRE BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS AND/OR REPAIRS.
•Replace the spark plug at the beginning of each mowing season.
•Keep the air cleaner free of debris.
•Change the oil after the first 5 hours of operation then change the oil every 25 hours of operation.
•Rotate hoses from end to end after every 25 hours of use and rotate each hose ¼ turn after every mowing season. This keeps debris from building up in one area.
•Regular cleaning and scheduled maintenance will prolong the life and
performance of your Lawn Vacuum.
•Remove debris as it accumulates, paying special attention to the hoses.
•Replace or repair any damaged or worn parts immediately.
•Check the fabric covering periodically for any tears, rips or deterioration.
•Lubrication may be needed to keep the release latch functioning smoothly.
ATTENTION:
GRASS CATCHER COMPONENTS ARE SUBJECT TO WEAR,
DAMAGE, AND DETERIORATION, WHICH COULD EXPOSE
MOVING PARTS OR ALLOW OBJECTS TO BE THROWN.
FREQUENTLY CHECK COMPONENTS AND REPLACE WITH
SWISHER’S RECOMMENDED PARTS, WHEN NECESSARY.
STORAGE

•Before storing be sure Lawn Vacuum is thoroughly dried, especially the fabric covering. Mildew can cause the fabric to deteriorate.
