STARTING
PUT OIL IN ENGINE BEFORE STARTING.
Inspect machine work area and machine before operating. Make sure that all operators of this equipment are
trained in general machine use and safety.
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 vac
housing. Under normal conditions, operate at minimum throttle
to accomplish your current cleaning task.
INTAKE HOSE: Hose mounting assembly must be properly
attached to vac housing and safety switch must be engaged
before engine will start. Note: Any damage to the switch or
wiring harness will prevent engine from starting.
CHOKE: Located on the vac housing as part of the engine
control panel.
THROTTLE: Move throttle control to fast position.
KEY SWITCH: Turn to start position until engine begins to fire,
immediately release the key to the run position.
Note:
Do not hold key in start position more than 10 seconds
per attempt.
INTAKE OPERATION: With machine r unning and fully
assembled, move the nozzle in sweeping motions over
debris. Always allow air to flow into the nozzle along with
the debris. Do not completely block the nozzle when
vacuuming, it will reduce performance, and increase clogging (See figure 3).
For removal of heavier debr is, or debris that is stuck to the
ground, rock nozzle forward to concentrate suction power
around the debris (See figure 4).

EXHAUST DIRECTION & DISTANCE: Exhaust direction and
distance are controlled by the angle of the exhaust deflector
and by rotation of the exhaust elbow. Adjust the angle of the
exhaust deflector to control the distance that debris is discharged. Typically debris is aimed to discharge to the rear of
the container. The direction of discharge is adjusted by
loosening the knobs on the exhaust elbow clamp and rotating
the elbow to the desired direction.

HOSE CARE & USE TIPS
THE HOSE IS A REPLACEABLE WEAR ITEM.
FOR BEST HOSE OPERATION RESULTS, FOLLOW THESE
RECOMMENDATIONS.
Be sure the hose is correctly installed by checking that the
arrow printed on the hose indicating flow direction is
pointing toward the vac housing.
Keep hose as straight as possible and avoid sharp bends
during operation for best pick-up and to avoid clogs.
Never drag hose. Always remove and store hose before
transporting unit.
Store hose straight and flat to maintain flexibility for next
use.
To increase hose life, periodically rotate hose and reposition
nozzle and coupler on front plate of unit. This increases
hose life by keeping hose from wearing only on one side.

UNCLOGGING A CLOGGED HOSE:
With engine running and unit secured to a trailer, truck
bed, or other similar surface, fully stretch hose in a
straight line to dislodge the clog. If the clog will not
clear, turn unit off, and allow engine to come to a
complete stop. Remove hose and manually clear
hose clog.
NOTE:

HANDLING & TRANSPORTING
The unit is equipped with small front wheels to allow for
easier transportation to storage. With unit removed from its
mounting, tilt unit forward toward the ground and use wheels
to manuever it into storage area.
STORAGE
Drain all fuel prior to storage.
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.
HOSE STORAGE: Store hose as straight and flat as
possible. Storing hose in a covered area, out of sunlight and
heat will prolong hose life. Do not store hose where it could be
stepped on or where other objects could crush or damage hose.
Turn engine off and wait for impeller to come to a
complete stop. Disconnect spark plug wires and
battery cables. Remove the hose coupler from the
housing and determine where the clog is located. If
possible clear the clog through the intake opening. It may
require removal of the intake adaptor (item 33) to allow access
to clear the housing. If clog is in the elbow, carefully remove the
elbow. Remove elbow by removing the knobs on the elbow
clamp. Then remove 3 bolts so that the split plate can be taken
out. FInally, the elbow can be removed by sliding it past the
remaining attached clamp.
NOTE:
Elbow is very heavy. Do not stand directly under elbow
during removal.
Danger, the clog may contain sharp materials. Wearing durable
gloves, clear the clog. Reconnect spark plug wire.
