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 and General
Operation manual).
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 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.
COMPOST
Vacuumed leaves, grass and other organic material from your own yard can be emptied into a pile or composter to
provide enriched soil for later use as fertilizer in gardens and flower beds
NOTE: Allow green chips to dry before spreading around living plants.

IMPELLER REMOVAL
1. Wait for engine to cool and disconnect spark plug.

housings, or end fittings while removing handles.
4. Remove housing top plate by removing bolts around outside of housing.
5. Leaving engine fastened to top plate, turn it upside down so the impeller is on top.
6. Remove impeller bolt and lock washer and washer.
7. Lift impeller upward. If impeller slides freely, proceed to (step 10).
8. Place two crowbars between impeller and housing on opposite sides. Pry impeller away from engine until it
loosens. Using a penetrating oil can help loosen a stuck impeller.

this should loosen it and allow you to remove the impeller from shaft. Using a penetrating oil can help loosen a
stuck impeller.
10. Using a new impeller bolt and lockwasher and washer, reinstall new impeller in reverse order.
