Labels

Your DR LEAF and LAWN VACUUM carries prominent labels as reminders for its proper and safe use. Shown below are copies of all the Safety and Information labels that appear on the equipment. Take a moment to study them and make a note of their location on your machine as you set up and before you operate the unit. Replace damaged or missing safety and information labels immediately.

Protecting Yourself and Those Around You

Gasoline is a highly flammable liquid. Gasoline also gives off flammable vapor that can be easily ignited and cause a fire or explosion. Never overlook the hazards of gasoline. Always follow these precautions:

 Never run the engine in an enclosed area or without proper ventilation as the exhaust from the engine contains carbon

monoxide, which is an odorless, tasteless, and deadly poisonous gas.

 Store all fuel and oil in containers specifically designed and approved for this purpose and keep away from heat and open

flame, and out of the reach of children.

 Replace rubber fuel lines and grommets when worn or damaged and after 5 years of use.  Fill the gasoline tank outdoors with the engine off and allow the engine to cool completely. Don't handle gasoline if you or

anyone nearby is smoking, or if you're near anything that could cause it to ignite or explode. Reinstall the fuel tank Cap and fuel container cap securely.

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children and pets. Children and pets are often attracted to the machine and the vacuuming activity.

Never

assume that children or pets will remain where you last saw them. Always follow

these precautions:

 Keep children and pets at least 100 feet from the working area and ensure they are under the watchful care of a responsible

adult.

 Be alert and always turn off the lawn tractor engine and the DR Leaf and Lawn Vacuum engine if children or pets enter the

work area.

 Before and while moving backwards, look behind, and

down

for small children and pets. You cannot see directly behind the

collector box.

 Never allow children to operate the Lawn Tractor or Vacuum.  Never allow children or pets to play in the collector. If they become trapped in the enclosure they may be exposed to

temperatures similar to leaving a child or pet in a car with the windows closed on a sunny day.

 Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure your vision.

This is a high-powered machine, with moving parts operating with high energy at high speeds. You must use proper clothing and safety gear when operating this machine to prevent or minimize the risk of severe injury. This machine can cut, and sever parts of your body if they become in contact with the moving impeller blades. Always take the following precautions when operating this machine:

 Always wear protective goggles or safety glasses with side shields while operating either your tractor lawn deck, the vacuum

system, or when performing an adjustment on your DR Leaf and Lawn Vacuum to protect your eyes from possible foreign objects thrown from the machine.

 Avoid wearing loose clothing or jewelry, which can catch on the machine’s moving parts.  We recommend wearing gloves while using the DR Leaf and Lawn Vacuum. Be sure your gloves fit properly and do not have

loose cuffs or drawstrings.

 Wear shoes with non-slip treads when using your DR Leaf and Lawn Vacuum. If you have safety shoes, we recommend

wearing them. Do not use the machine while barefoot or wearing open sandals.

 Wear long pants while operating the DR Leaf and Lawn Vacuum.  Use ear protectors or earplugs rated for at least 20 dba to protect your hearing.

Slope Operation

This is a high-powered machine, with moving parts operating with high energy at high speeds. You must operate the machine safely. Unsafe operation can create a number of hazards for you, as well as anyone else in the nearby area. Always take the following precautions when using this machine:

 Never allow people who are unfamiliar with these instructions to use the DR Leaf and Lawn Vacuum.  To be safe, do not operate the machine near small children or pets, and never allow children to operate the vacuum. Stop the

vacuum engine and tractor engine when another person or pet approaches.

 Never allow people or pets to ride in the collector box or on the frame.

 If you spill gasoline, do not attempt to start the engine. Move the machine away from the area of the spil l and avoid creating

any source of ignition until the gas vapors have dissipated. Wipe up any spilled fuel to prevent a fire hazard and properly dispose of the waste.

 Allow the engine to cool completely and empty the collector box before storing the DR Leaf and Lawn Vacuum in any

enclosure. Remember, decomposing material can generate heat and start a fire. Never store the machine with gas in the tank or a fuel container, near an open flame or spark such as a water heater, space heater, clothes dryer or furnace.

 Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine running. Shut down the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, keeping it

away from the spark plug to prevent accidental starting, wait 5 minutes before making adjustments or repairs.

 Never tamper with the engine’s governor setting. The governor controls the maximum safe operation speed and protects the

engine. Over-speeding the engine is dangerous and will cause damage to the engine and to the other moving parts of the machine. If required, see your authorized dealer for engine governor adjustments.

 Keep your hands and combustible substances away from the engine when it is hot and clean the engine area after each use.  To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine cooling fins and muffler area free of debris build-up such as leaves, grass, oil, grease or

any other combustible material.

 Never cover the machine while the muffler is still hot.  Do not operate the engine with the air cleaner or the carburetor air intake cover removed, except for adjustment. Removal of

such parts could create a fire hazard.

 Do not use flammable solutions to clean the air filter.  The muffler and engine become very hot and can cause a severe burn; do not touch.  The exhaust area on the engine becomes very hot with use. Allow the engine to cool before doing maintenance or making

adjustments.

Slopes are a major factor related to tip over accidents, which can result in severe injury. All slopes require caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not vacuum it. Always take the following precautions when using this machine on slopes: ALWAYS:

 Vacuum up and down the face of slopes, never across. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.  Remove objects such as stones, glass and metal objects such as cans.  Watch out for holes, ruts, or bumps. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

NEVER:

 Never vacuum near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. Your tractor and the vacuum may tip over.  Never vacuum on slopes greater than 15 degrees or any excessively steep slopes.  Never vacuum on wet slopes. Reduced traction could result in slipping and a possible roll over.

General Safety

 Never run the engine unless the chute, fabric collector sleeve, and hose are all securely in place and the engine frame is

securely connected to the cart frame.

 Check behind your DR Leaf and Lawn Vacuum before backing up. You cannot see directly behind the collector box.  Never attempt to open or empty the collector while the lawn tractor deck is engaged or the DR Leaf and Lawn Vacuum engine

is running. Debris may exit at high velocity as you begin to open the collector.

 Do not operate in sandy areas where you will vacuum large quantities of sand. Sand will erode the vacuum housing. Check

for holes after each use and replace the housing and liner when holes develop.

 Never operate the machine on slopes greater than 15 degrees.  Never tow the DR Leaf and Lawn Vacuum faster than 8 mph.  Always shut off the lawn tractor engine and the DR Leaf and Lawn Vacuum engine and disconnect the spark plug wire before

attempting to clear any obstructions from the hose.

 Use the DR Leaf and Lawn Vacuum only in daylight.  Never straddle or reach over the engine area at any time.  Use only your hands to operate the DR Leaf and Lawn Vacuum engine controls.  Do not, under any conditions, remove, bend, cut, fit, weld, or otherwise alter standard parts on the DR Leaf and Lawn

Vacuum. Modifications to your machine could cause personal injuries and will void your warranty.

 Do not alter or tamper with safety devices or shields. Make sure they are in their proper position.  While using the DR Leaf and Lawn Vacuum, do not hurry or take things for granted.  Never leave the DR Leaf and Lawn Vacuum unattended with its engine running.  Do not operate the machine when under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.

The DR Leaf and Lawn Vacuum must be operated safely to prevent or minimize the risk of minor or moderate injury. Unsafe operation can create a number of hazards for you. Always take the following precautions when operating this machine:

 Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people, their property, and

themselves.

 Never use the DR Leaf and Lawn Vacuum to vacuum anything but yard waste, such as leaves, grass, small twigs and pine

cones.

 If the machine starts to make an unusual noise or vibration, immediately shut off the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire,

and allow all moving parts to come to a complete stop and cool. Inspect for clogging or damage. Clean and repair and/or replace damaged parts.

 See manufacturer’s instructions for proper operation and installation of accessories. Only use accessories approved by DR

Power Equipment.

 Always keep the equipment in a good safe operating condition. Always make certain nuts and bolts are tight and always use

the supplied self-locking hardware; do not substitute.

A Note to All Users

Under California law, and the laws of some other states, you are not permitted to operate an internal combustion engine using hydrocarbon fuels without an engine spark arrester. This also applies to operation on US Forest Lands. All DR® LEAF and LAWN VACUUMS shipped to California, New Mexico and Washington State are provided with spark arresters. Failure of the owner or operator to maintain this equipment in compliance with state regulations is a misdemeanor under California law and may be in violation of other state and/or federal regulations. Contact your State Park Association or the appropriate state organization for specific information in your area.

No list of warnings and cautions can be all-inclusive. If situations occur that are not covered by this manual, the operator must apply common sense and operate this DR® LEAF and LAWN VACUUM in a safe manner. Contact us at www.DRpower.com or call 1-800-DR-OWNER (376-9637) for assistance.
