MAINTENANCE
Your Lawn Vac was designed and built to provide years of service with only minor care. Certain
tasks however must be performed to keep it in good operating condition and to avoid costly
repairs. This section describes and provides procedures for the necessary care of the Lawn
Vac.
SCHEDULED CARE
CARE REQUIRED
Before Each Use
After Each Use
Every 10 Hours
Check engine oil.
Check all hose connections.
Clean Collector Box, hoses and engine of all grass and dirt.
Check that all screws, nuts, bolts, pins, etc. are present and
secure.
Storage
Never store your Lawn Vac with a full or partially filled container; decaying grass and leaves
may constitute a fire hazard if left too long. Never leave your vac exposed to the elements.
While the metal parts are protected with a quality paint, the engine and other unprotected parts
may deteriorate if left exposed to rain or snow.
Emptying The Lawn Vac
When the collector becomes full, the blower tone will change. In order to empty the container
- Release the back door by moving the dump handle on the left hand side of the container.
Release the door, push back on the container and the debris falls out. When empty, pull the
box forward; move the dump handle in to properly close the rear door.
Service
PeCo Lawn Vac Owners should record the name and telephone number of their tractor
dealer. Your dealer will be happy to supply replacement parts, accessories and do any
service or repairs to your lawn vac. If for some reason your dealer is unable to service your
lawn vac or supply replacement parts, contact PeCo and include the following information:
