IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE, READ AND UNDERSTAND THE “ENTIRE OPERATOR'S MANUAL &
ENGINE MANUAL.”
THIS SYMBOL MEANS WARNING OR CAUTION. DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE MAY OCCUR UNLESS INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOLLOWED CAREFULLY.
WARNING: The Engine Exhaust from this product contains chemicals known
to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
WARNING: DO NOT
1. DO NOT run engine in an enclosed area.
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, an
odorless and deadly poison.
2. DO NOT place hands or feet near moving
or rotating parts.
3. DO NOT store, spill or use gasoline near
an open flame, or devices such as a stove,
furnace, or water heater which use a pilot
light or devices which can create a spark.
4. DO NOT refuel indoors where area is not
well ventilated. Outdoor refueling is recommended.
5. DO NOT fill fuel tank while engine is
running. Allow engine to cool for 2 minutes
before refueling. Store fuel in approved
safety containers.
6. DO NOT remove fuel tank cap while
engine is running.
7. DO NOT operate engine when smell of
gasoline is present or other explosive
conditions exist.
8. DO NOT operate engine if gasoline is
spilled. Move machine away from the spill
and avoid creating any ignition until the
gasoline has evaporated.
9. DO NOT transport unit with fuel in tank.
10. DO NOT smoke when filling fuel tank.
11. DO NOT choke carburetor to stop
engine. Whenever possible, gradually
reduce engine speed before stopping.
13. DO NOT tamper with governor springs,
governor links or other parts which may
change the governed engine speed.
14. DO NOT tamper with the engine speed
selected by the engine manufacturer.
15. DO NOT check for spark with spark plug
or spark plug wire removed. Use an
approved tester.
16. DO NOT crank engine with spark plug
removed. If engine is flooded, place throttle
in “FAST” position and crank until engine
starts.
17. DO NOT strike flywheel with a hard
object or metal tool as this may cause
flywheel to shatter in operation. Use proper
tools to service engine.
18. DO NOT operate engine without a
muffler. Inspect periodically and replace, if
necessary. If engine is equipped with
muffler deflector, inspect periodically and
replace, if necessary, with correct deflector.
19. DO NOT operate engine with an
accumulation of grass, leaves, dirt or other
combustible material in the muffler area.
20. DO NOT use this engine on any forest
covered, brush covered, or grass covered
unimproved land unless a spark arrester is
installed on the muffler. The arrester must
be maintained in effective working order by
the operator. In the State of California the
above is required by law (Section 4442 of
the California Public Resources Code).
Other states may have similar laws. Federal
laws apply on federal lands.
21. DO NOT touch hot muffler, cylinder, or
fins because contact may cause burns.
22. DO NOT run engine without air cleaner
or air cleaner cover .
23. DO NOT operate during excessive
vibration!

WARNING: DO
1. ALWAYS DO remove the wire from the
spark plug when servicing the engine or
equipment TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL
STARTING.
2. DO keep cylinder fins and governor
parts free of grass and other debris
which can affect engine speed.
3. DO pull starter cord slowly until resistance is felt. Then pull cord rapidly to avoid
kickback and prevent hand or arm injury.
4. DO examine muffler periodically to be
sure it is functioning effectively. A worn or
leaking muffler should be repaired or
replaced as necessary.
5. DO use fresh gasoline. Stale fuel can
gum carburetor and cause leakage.

OPERATION
INTENDED USE: This machine is designed for vacuuming
leaves, grass clippings and other types of organic litter and
for chipping brush, limbs, corn and sunflower stalks and
palm fronds.
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.
PUT OIL IN ENGINE BEFORE STARTING.
16.1
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 AL VE: Move fuel valve to "ON" position (when
provided on engine).
CHOKE: Operated with throttle control (Honda only).
PRIMER: Push primer per engine instructions ( B&S only).
THROTTLE: Move remote throttle control to fast position.
Pull starting rope to start engine.
IF YOUR UNIT FAILS TO START:
See Troubleshooting on page 12.

16.4
DEBRIS BAG
Debris bags are normal replaceable wear items.
Note: Frequently empty debris to prev ent bag overloading with
more weight than you can lift.
An optional bag and dust cover is av ailable 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 blockage. The entire bag surface
serves 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 (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:
•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.
•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.
16.5
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.
16.6
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 (see fig. 3).
NOTE: Allow green chips to dry before spreading around living plants.
STORAGE
Never store engine indoors or in enclosed poorly ventilated
Be sure engine is cool. Do not smoke. Remove all
Do not store with debris in bag.
