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!

24. DO NOT leave machine unattended
while in operation.

25. DO NOT park machine on a steep
grade or slope.

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.

6. DO check fuel lines and fittings fre­quently for cracks or leaks. Replace if
necessary

7. Follow engine manufacturer operating
and maintenance instructions.

8. Inspect machine and work area before
starting unit.

12. DO NOT run engine at excessive
speeds. This may result in injury & /or
damage to unit.

Operation

INTENDED USE: This machine is designed for vacuuming

leaves, grass clippings and other types of organic litter as
well as debris mixed with cans, bottles and small amounts
of sand; however, vacuuming cans, bottles and sand will
affect the longevity of your machine.

Like all mechanical tools, reasonable care must
be used when operating 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 7).

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 ENGIN E BEFORE STARTING.

16.1

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 VALVE: Move fuel valve to "ON" position
CHOKE: Operated with throttle control (Honda).

NOTE: Outer bag and rod (items 1 and 3) MUST depress the

bag presence switch (item 17) for the unit to start. See fig.1

IF YOUR UNIT FAILS TO START:

See Troubleshooting on page 8.

16.2

STARTING

ENGINE: See engine manufacturer’s instructions

for type and amount of oil and gasoline used.

(Honda only).

Post to prime (Briggs & Stratton).

VACUUMING OPERATION

VACUUM NOZZLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT: The

vacuum nozzle is raised and lowered by pulling slightly
upward on handle and pulling height adjust T-Handle (item

23) at operators left hand. Lift handle up or down to desired
height, then release T-handle.

FOR MAXIMUM PICKUP: Adjust nozzle height as

close to debris as possible, but without blocking airflow into the
nozzle. NOTE: Never bury nozzle into debris.

CLEARING A CLOGGED NOZZLE
& EXHAUST: Turn engine off and wait for impeller

to stop completely and disconnect spark plug wire.
Wearing durable gloves, remove clog. Danger, the
clog may contain sharp materials. Reconnect spark
plug wire.

Hint!

16.3

DEBRIS BAG

Debris bags are normal replaceable wear items.

Note: Frequently empty debris to prevent bag overloading with

more weight than you can lift.

Bag liners are included and available for use in various conditions
where debris will be vacuumed.

DO NOT place bag on or near hot surface, such as engine.

Be sure engine has come to a complete stop

(see Bag Liner Options shown on page 1).

before removing or emptying bag!!

This vacuum is designed for picking up trash, organic
material and other similar debris

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:

(see Safety Warnings page 2-3).

•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 Felt Filter (890435) is a good way to reduce
down time while dirty bags are being cleaned.

Do not store with debris in bag. Organic
debris generates heat during decomposi-

tion and could damage the bag or start a fire.

16.4

Using two people to lift machine is recommended. Lift holding the
handle and front of nozzle. Secure in place during transport.

16.5

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.

HANDLING & TRANSPORTING:

STORAGE

Never store engine indoors or in enclosed poorly venti-

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

16.10

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

Note: Allow green chips to dry before spreading around living
plants.
