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.

accomplish your current cleaning task.
FUEL VALVE: Move fuel valve to "ON" position (when
provided on engine).
CHOKE: See Primer.
PRIMER: Push primer per engine instructions.
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.
16.2
VACUUMING OPERATION
VACUUM NOZZLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT: is
raised and lowered by lifting slightly upward on handle and
pulling height adjust rod (item 23) at left rear of machine.
FOR MAXIMUM PICKUP: Adjust nozzle close to debris,
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.
Several small branches can be grouped together and fed
together into the chipper (see fig 2.).
When feeding forked branches, squeeze forks together and
feed into chipper entrance (DO NOT overload). If forks are too
large, use a pair of loppers to trim forks down to size. A lopper
storage bracket is provided on every unit (loppers are not
included).
16.8
CLEARING A CLOGGED CHIPPER HOPPER
Under normal circumstances, allow time for machine
to clear all wood from chipper hopper before stopping
engine. Otherwise, remaining pieces of wood will jam
inside of chipper when engine stops. See Tamper on page 7.
Disconnect spark plug wire.
Remove debris bag quick disconnect from debris outlet on
machine.
Wearing durable gloves, access impeller through
debris outlet on fan housing and rotate impeller counter
clock wise to dislodge and remove jam and remove
debris from hopper with tongs or equivalent.

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.
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 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.
•Machine or pressure-wash debris bag if normal cleaning
does not fully clean bag. Bag should be thoroughly dry before
use.
(fig. 2)
MULCH
16.9
Wood chips made from branches in your own yard make excellent
mulch. A thick blanket of wood chips around plants and flowers
keeps weeds out and moisture in (see fig. 3).
16.10
COMPOST
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.
Note: Dry wood is harder
to chip than green wood.
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
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.

3. Remove bag, quick release, upper handle and clutch cable from
upper handle. Do not kink, stretch, or break control cables, control
housings, or end fittings while removing handles.
4. Remove chain guard, chains and jackshaft assembly (see page 9,
Drive Chain).
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). However, your unit may or may not have
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. Using a penetrating oil can help loosen a stuck impeller.
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 crankshaft 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.
IMPELLER REMOVAL and CHIPPER ADJUSTMENT
CHIPPER BLADE REMOVAL AND SHARPENING
17.1
Chipper blades are normal replaceable wear items.
DANGER Chippe r bl ade is s harp.
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® shim washer must be used.
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. CAUTION: Be careful to avoid heat buildup in the
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 several times.
However, blade 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.

15. To reinstall impeller, use a new impeller bolt and lockwasher and
use exactly the same crankshaft impeller shim washers as were
removed during disassembly (unless they were damaged). However,
your unit may or may not have required the use of shim washers.
16. Tighten impeller bolt. Torque 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). Th e c hi pper will function at up to a maximum of
0.125"(3.18mm) gap.

DRIVE
Chains are normal replaceable wear items. A new chain
should not be used on worn sprockets. Sprockets should be
replaced when replacing chains.
Stop engine and disconnect spark plug
wire before making adjustments.
CHAIN ADJUSTMENTS
1. Remove chainguard (item 118) and 3 screws (item 81 & 71).
2. Inspect chains (items 87 & 88), for wear, (see chain replace-
ment), lubrication and correct adjustment.
3. If adjustments are required, loosen 4 carriage bolts (item
90), that hold bearing brackets for jackshaft assembly.
4. Adjusting all (3) chains at same time is necessary and can
be done by pulling jackshaft (item 93), up and forward.
5. Tension chains - similar to bicycle chain tightness with
about 1/8” (3.2mm) deflection with light hand pressure midway between sprockets. A slightly loose chain is better than an
over tightened chain. DO NOT over tighten.
6. With chains aligned and tensioned, and jackshaft (item 93),
square and level, tighten carriage bolts (item 90).
7. Completely rotate drive wheels around several times to
insure there are no excessively tight areas in the chain.
8. Repeat steps 4 thru 7 if chains need readjustment.
9. Reinstall chainguard (item 118).
CHAIN REPLACEMENT
1. With chain guard removed, loosen carriage bolts (item 90),
that hold jackshaft (item 93), and bearing plates (item 101).
2. To replace inner chain (item 88), remove jackshaft
assembly and install replacement chain.
3. To replace wheel chains (item 87), slide bearing plates
(item 101), toward engine to loosen chains. Remove front
wheels. Reinstall replacement chains with wheels and onto
jackshaft sprockets.
4. See steps 4 thru 7 for chain alignment and adjustment.
5. Reinstall chainguard (item 118).
CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT
The clutch control cable is pre-adjusted at the factory, so when
the bail is released, rod (item 115), engages clutch assembly
(item 121), to stop forward drive motion and allow forward and
