VACUUMING OPERATION
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. In dusty conditions it maybe necessary to purchase
Felt Bag Kit (P/N 840022).
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 spec ifications. (See page 13 Impeller removal).

DEBRIS BAG
Debris bags are normal replaceable wear items.
Bag liners are available for use in various conditions where debris will be vacuumed. (See Bag Liner Accessories shown on pg 1).
MV650SPHDS Only – The dust sock provided wi ll trap dust when vacuuming up dry debris only. The dust sock will need to be
removed periodically and the dust will need to be dumped out as it will accumulate over time. The dust sock can be easily
removed and reattached by separating it from the Velcro strip on the bag underneath.
DO NOT place bag on or near hot surface, such as engine.
Be sure engine has c ome to a complete stop before removing or emptying bag!
Frequently empty debris to prevent bag overloading with more weight than you can lift .
Many vacuums are used where dust is mixed with trash. Your unit can intermittently vacuum in dusty areas. However, following
these rules will help maintain your machine's ability to vacuum in dusty conditions:
• Run machine at idle to quarter throttle.
• 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 bags (P/N 840189) is a good way to reduce down time while dirty bags are being cleaned.
Felt Bag (P/N 840194) accessory is great when used in dusty conditions
.
DUST SOCK CARE AND MAINTENANCE (MV650SP HDS only)
Purpose: The dust sock acts as a secondary filter lowering the amount of dust that escapes the bag.
Dust socks are to be used in dry and dusty conditions ONLY. Using the dust sock in damp or wet condi tions may damage the
dust sock and decrease the effectiveness of the filt er.
The dust sock may be installed by simply attachi ng the mating Velcro strips between the bag and the dust sock. Over time the
dust sock will begin to fill with dust during use. Periodically remove the dust sock, empty the loose dust out and clean the sock.
For a light clean, simply shake the sock, for a deep clean, see below. To remove the sock, simply separate the Velcro.
