Operation
INTENDED USE: This machine is designed for vacuuming
leaves, grass clippings and other types of organic litter.
Debris mixed with cans, bottles and small amounts of sand
can be vacuumed; however, it is not this machine's primary
purpose. Vacuuming cans, bottles and sand will affect the
longevity of your machine.
Do not operate if excessive vibration occurs. If excessive
vibration occurs, shut engine off immediately and check for
damaged or worn impeller, loose impeller bolt, loose impeller
key, loose engine or lodged foreign objects. Note: See parts
list for proper impeller bolt torque specifications. (See trouble
shooting section on page 8).
Like all mechanical tools, reasonable care must
be used when operating machine.
Inspect machine work area and machine before operating. Make sure that all operators of this equipment are
trained in general machine use and safety.

DEBRIS BA G
Debris bags are normal replaceable wear items.
Note: Frequently empty debris to prevent bag overloading with
more weight than you can lift.
An optional bag and dust cover is availab le 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. Your
new bag requires a break-in period to condition the pores of the
material against premature blockage. The entire bag surface serves
as a filter, and must be able to breath to ha v e good vacuum
performance.
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 Warnings page 2-3).
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:
•The debris bag must be cleaned more 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 dir ty, empty debris and vigorously shake bag
free of dust.
•Machine or pressure-wash debris bag if normal cleaning does
not fully clean bag. Bag should be thoroughly dry before use.
FUEL V ALVE: Move fuel valve to "ON" position (when
provided on engine).
PRIMER: Push primer per engine instructions.
IF YOUR UNIT FAILS TO START:
See Troubleshooting on page 8.

VACUUMING OPERATION
VACUUM NOZZLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT: is
raised and lowered by pulling slightly upward on handle
and pulling height adjust control (item 23) out on left side of
handle. (Note: Top notch is intended for use with hose kit
to cut off intake air.)
FOR MAXIMUM PICKUP: Adjust nozzle close to
debris, but without blocking airflow into the nozzle .
bury nozzle into debris.
CLEARING A CLOGGED NOZZLE
& EXHAUST : Turn engine off and wait f or impeller to
stop completely and disconnect spark plug wire.
Wearing durable glov es, remove clog. Danger, the
clog may contain sharp materials. Reconnect spark
plug wire.

COMPOST
Vacuumed lea ves, grass and other organic material from y our own
yard can be emptied into a pile or composter to provide enriched
soil for later use as fertilizer in gardens and flower beds (see fig. 3).
Note: Allow green chips to dry bef ore spreading around living
plants.

lated areas with fuel in tank, where fuel fumes may reach an
open flame, spark or pilot light, as on a furnace, water heater,
clothes dryer or other gas appliance.
If engine is to be unused for 30 days or more, prepare as
follows:
gasoline from carburetor and fuel tank to prevent gum deposits
from forming on these parts and causing possible malfunction
of engine. Drain fuel outdoors, into an approved container,
away from open flame. Run engine until fuel tank is empty
and engine runs out of gasoline.
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer (such as Sta-Bil) is an acceptable
alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits
during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or
storage container. Always follow mix ratio found on stabilizer
container. Run engine at least 10 min. after adding stabilizer to
allow it to reach the carburetor.
