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 primar y
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 .

DEBRIS BA G

Debris bags are normal replaceable wear items.

Note: Frequently empty debris to prevent bag overloading with

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 blockage. The entire bag surface ser ves as a
filter, and m ust be able to breath to have good v acuum perfo rmance.

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 perfor mance. 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 dir ty, 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.

COMPOST

Vacuumed leav es, g rass 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.

HANDLING & TRANSPORTING:

Before turning machine off, use the Tamper to slowly push
remaining pieces of wood through the chipper. This can
prevent any remaining wood from jamming in the chipper
when machine is turned off.
Do not leave tamper on the ground, store tamper in the
chipper hopper.

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

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.

Tamper Storage Position (SP model shown).

Do not store with debris in bag.

IMPELLER REMOVAL and CHIPPER ADJUSTMENT

17.1

17.117.1

IMPELLER REMOV AL

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

2. Drain fuel and oil from the engine.

3. Remove bag, quick release, and upper handle. Do not kink, stretch,

or break control cables, control housings, or end fittings while removing
handles.

4. Self propelled units only .

5. Remove housing top plate by removing bolts around outside of

housing.

6. Leaving engine fastened to top plate, remove impeller bolt and lock
washer and slide impeller off crankshaft ( A puller may be required).

7. Retain shim washers used at end of crankshaft for use at impeller
reinstallation (see fig. 7). Howev er, y our unit may or ma y not hav e
required the use of shim washers.

8. If impeller slides off freely, proceed to (step 11 or step 15).
(Do not drop impeller).

9. If impeller does not slide off crankshaft, place two crowbars between

impeller and housing on opposite sides. Pry impeller away from engine
until it loosens.

10. If the impeller cannot be loosened, obtain a 1” (25.4mm) longer bolt
of the same diameter and thread type as the impeller bolt. Invert engine
and impeller and support engine above ground to prevent recoil
damage. Thread longer bolt by hand into the cr ankshaft 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.

Using a penetrating oil can help loosen a stuck impeller.

CHIPPER BLADE REMOVAL AND SHARPENING

Chipper blades are normal replaceable wear items.

DANGER Chipper blade is sharp.

Replace any damaged blade.

Depending on the type and amount of wood being chipped, the
chipper blade will eventually get dull, losing it’s cutting ability.
Evidence of a dull blade is a noticeably reduced chipping ability or a
rough cut on end of branch.
Note: The chipper blade gap is factory set and should be checked
each time impeller is removed from engine crankshaft and reset if
required. If reassembly requires a different quantity of shim
washers, Billy Goat

11. Using a 3/16" Allen wrench and 1/2" open end wrench, remove
chipper blade from impeller.

12. Sharpen blade by lightly grinding the cutting edge of the blade at
40 degrees (see fig. 5). It is not necessary to remove all nicks from

the cutting edge.
blade during sharpening. This will reduce it’s heat- treated hardness
properties and will reduce blade life. Evidence of too much heat build­up is a change of color along sharpened edge.

13. The same chipper blade can be sharpened seve ral times.
Howev er, b lade replacement is required when blade no longer
overhangs the chip relief hole in impeller back plate or if increased
vibration occurs (see fig. 5).

14. Chipper blade installation is in reverse order of removal.

your unit may or may not have required the use of shim washers

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

17. Slowly rotate impeller to insure proper chipper blade clearance.
Check to see that gap between chipper blade and anvil surface (on
lower side of housing top plate) measures between 0.040"(1.02mm)
and 0.080"(2.03mm).

18. If gap is less than 0.040"(0.51mm), add shim washer 890130

(0.060"{1.52mm} thick) and/or 890131 (0.020"{1.02mm} thick),
whichever is required. If gap is more than 0.080"(2.03mm), remove
one or more shim washers as needed to obtain correct gap (see fig. 6
& fig. 7). The chipper will function at up to a maxim um of

0.125"(3.18mm) gap.

removal.

21. Before connecting spark plug wire, slowly pull engine starting
rope to insure that impeller rotates freely .
