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 12).

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.

16.116.1

STARTING

ENGINE: See engine manufacturer’s instructions

for type and amount of oil and gasoline used.
Engine must be level when checking and filling oil and
gasoline.

ENGINE SPEED: Controlled by throttle lever on the handle.
Under normal conditions, operate at minimum throttle to
accomplish your current cleaning task.

FUEL V ALVE: Move fuel valve to "ON" position (when
provided on engine).

CHOKE: See Primer.
PRIMER: Push primer per engine instructions.
THROTTLE: Move remote throttle control to fast position.

Pull starting rope to start engine.

The nozzle height can be adjusted during operation without
stopping.

more weight than you can lift.

An optional bag and dust cover 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. Run

engine at 1/2 throttle for first 1/2 hour to condition new bag. Your new
bag requires a break-in period to condition the pores of the material
against premature bl ockage. The entire bag surface ser ves as a filter ,
and must be able to breath to have 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

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:

OPERATION continued

DEBRIS BA G

Note: Frequently empty debris to prevent bag overloading with

(see Safety Warnings page 2-3).

•Run machine at idle to quarter throttle.

•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 dirty, 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.

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.

HANDLING & TRANSPORTING:

This vacuum is self-propelled. To engage the drive, lift
operator's bail against operator's handle. The drive is disen­gaged by releasing the operator's bail.

GROUND SPEED can be varied by applying slight downward
pressure to handle during operation (to allow drive wheels
partial slippage) or by changing the engine rpm.

For improved control in confined areas, this machine can be
freewheel pushed forward or backward by releasing the
operator's bail and pushing machine.

Never store engine indoors or in enclosed poorly venti­lated 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:

Be sure engine is cool. Do not smoke. Remove all
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.

STORAGE

Do not store with debris in bag.

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

2. Drain fuel and oil from the engine.

3. Remove bag, quick release, upper handle and clutch cable from

upper handle. Do not kink, stretch, or break control cables, control
housings, or end fittings while removing handles.

4. Remove chain guard, chains and jackshaft assembly (see page 9,
Drive Chain).

5. Invert and support machine with engine not touching ground to
prevent damage to recoil starter.

6.Disassemble housing by removing six (6) lock nuts and washers
from nozzle frame, (2 are inside of nozzle opening).

7. Remov e impeller bolt and lock washer .

8. Lift impeller upward. If impeller slides freely , proceed to (step 11).
9 . Place two crowbars between impeller and housing on opposite

sides. Pry impeller away from engine until it loosens.

ing oil can help loosen a stuck impeller.

10. If the impeller does not loosen, obtain a 1” (25.4mm) longer bolt of
the same diameter and thread type as the impeller bolt. Thread longer
bolt by hand into the crankshaft until bolt bottoms. Using a suitable
gear or wheel puller against the bolt head and the impeller back-plate
(near the blades), remove impeller from shaft.

11. Remove engine mounting screws, bolts, and nuts as required.

12. When impeller is free of the engine shaft, lift impeller and housing

assembly off engine. Align impeller with opening, and diagonally lift
impeller out of housing.

13. Using a new impeller bolt and lockwasher , reinstall new impeller in
reverse order .

14. Tighten impeller bolt. T orque impeller bolt to 50 Ft. Lbs . (68 N.m)
(see item 51 on page 11).

15. Reinstall engine onto housing in reverse order of removal.

16. Invert machine back onto all 4 wheels.

17. Reinstall jackshaft assembly components onto housing in reverse

DRIVE

Chains are normal replaceable wear items. A new chain
should not be used on worn sprockets. Sprockets should be
replaced when replacing chains.

Stop engine and disconnect spark plug
wire before making adjustments.

CHAIN ADJUSTMENTS

1. Remove chainguard (item 118) and 3 screws (item 81 & 71).

2. Inspect chains (items 87 & 88), for wear, (see chain replace-

ment), lubrication and correct adjustment.

3. If adjustments are required, loosen 4 carriage bolts (item

90), that hold bearing brackets for jackshaft assembly.

4. Adjusting all (3) chains at same time is necessary and can
be done by pulling jackshaft (item 93), up and forward.

5. Tension chains - similar to bicycle chain tightness with
about 1/8” (3.2mm) deflection with light hand pressure mid­way between sprockets. A slightly loose chain is better than an
over tightened chain. DO NOT over tighten.

6. With chains aligned and tensioned, and jackshaft (item 93),
square and level, tighten carriage bolts (item 90).

7. Completely rotate drive wheels around several times to
insure there are no excessively tight areas in the chain.

8. Repeat steps 4 thru 7 if chains need readjustment.

9. Reinstall chainguard (item 118).

CHAIN REPLACEMENT

1. With chain guard removed, loosen carriage bolts (item 90),

that hold jackshaft (item 93), and bearing plates (item 101).

2. To replace inner chain (item 88), remove jackshaft
assembly and install replacement chain.

3. To replace wheel chains (item 87), slide bearing plates
(item 101), toward engine to loosen chains. Remove front
wheels. Reinstall replacement chains with wheels and onto
jackshaft sprockets.

4. See steps 4 thru 7 for chain alignment and adjustment.

5. Reinstall chainguard (item 118).

CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT

The clutch control cable is pre-adjusted at the factory, so when
the bail is released, rod (item 115), engages clutch assembly
(item 121), to stop forward drive motion and allow forward and
backward free-wheeling. When the bail is held against handle,
the clutch rod moves away from clutch assembly to allow drive
engagement.

If drive will not disengage, adjust and align control bracket so
that rod (item 115) fully contacts triangular plate on clutch
assembly when bail is released (see fig. 8).
See lubrication intervals on Maintenance Schedule.
