EMISSION INFORMATION
WARNING
WARNING TO ALL CALIFORNIA
AND OTHER STATES OPERATING
OUTDOOR POWER EQUIPMENT
Under California Law and under the
laws of several other states you are
not permitted to operate an internal
combustion engine using hydrocarbon
fuels on any forest covered, brush
covered or grass covered land or on
land covered with grain hay or other
flammable agricultural crop, without an
engine spark arrester in continuous
effective working order.
The engine on your power equipment,
like most outdoor power equipment, is
an internal combustion engine that
burns gasoline, a hydrocarbon fuel.
Therefore, your power equipment must
be equipped with a spark arrester
muffler in continuous effective working
order. The spark arrester must be
attached to the engine exhaust system
in such a manner that flames or heat
from the system will not ignite
flammable material.
Failure of the owner/operator of the
equipment to comply with this
regulation is a misdemeanor under
California law, and may also be a
M-F, 8 a.m. to 5
p.m. Central Time
violation of other state and or federal
regulations, laws, ordinances, or
codes. Contact your local fire marshal
or forest service for specific information
about what regulations apply in your
area.
The standard muffler installed on the
engine is not equipped with a spark
arrester. One must be added before
use if this machine is intended to be
used in an area where a spark arrester
is required by law. Contact the local
authorities if these laws apply to you.
See your authorized engine dealer for
spark arrester options.

2.2 ATTACHING THE HITCH (75124)
WARNING
To prevent personal injury or property damage, sure that
all moving parts have come to a complete stop, before
servicing, adjusting or repairing.
1. Align the hitch pole weldment with the hitch mount on
the truck loader frame (See Fig. #3). Attach the hitch
to the frame using the supplied 1/2" x 4-1/2" bolts and
nuts provided in the owners kit. Tighten to proper torque.

mounting clamp is already attached to the tube.
2. Slide the tube into the flange and tighten the bolts to
secure it.
3. Install the second half of the clamp to the tube and
flange.
4. Grease the chute to allow free rotation. Rotate the tube
360 degrees and lock it in place with the handle to
make sure it is mounted correctly.
5. Do not overtighten the bolts as it will distort the mounting flanges and the discharge tube will not rotate freely.
2.3 ATTACH THE TRAILER WHEELS
(75124)
1. Hold one wheel to a hub and align the wheel lug holes
with the hub lug holes (See Fig. #3).
2. Thread the lug bolts into the holes and tighten to 75 ft.
lbs. Follow a star pattern when tightening lug bolts.

BCI Group Size U1
200-250 CCA
7-3/4” X 5-3/16” X 7-5/16”
Suggested Source: Exide Cutting Edge, Type GT-H
3. If you received a battery with your machine, proceed to
the next step.
NOTE
The battery that was shipped with the machine was
shipped dry. The battery will need to be serviced before installation.
4. Remove or destroy any sealing device which may have
been used to close or restrict the vent openings.
6. After filling, battery should be charged to the specifications below and put into service immediately.
Temperature over 60° F:
3 amperes for 4 Hours.
Temperature under 60° F:
3 amperes for 6 Hours.
7. Place charged battery in battery box.
8. Remove key from engine ignition.
9. Install the positive (+) battery cable to the positive (+)
battery terminal using a 5/16 X 1” hex head bolt and 5/
16 nylock nut. An insulating boot is loosely installed
on this cable. Slide the insulating boot over the terminal, making sure that the terminal is completely covered.
10. Install the negative (-) cable on the negative (-) battery
terminal using a 5/16 X 1” hex head bolt and 5/16 nylock
nut. There is no insulating boot for this terminal.
11. Secure battery box cover.
5. Remove battery vent caps and fill cells until baffle plate
is covered with 1.25” of electrolyte at 80° F. Battery
and electrolyte must at a temperature above 60° F, but
preferably not above 100° F.
WARNING
To avoid sparks and a possible explosion or fire due to
a short circuit:
1. Do not touch the positive (+) battery terminal and
any surrounding metal with tools, jewelry or other metal
objects.

3.0 OPERATION
3.1 STARTING INSTRUCTIONS: 24 HP
ENGINE
CAUTION
Release the key if the engine fails to start within 10
seconds. Failure to release starter will overheat and possible damage the starter. Wait 60 seconds before trying
again.
1. Check engine oil level before starting. Add oil if low,
but do not overfill.
2. Refer to Honda Engine Owners Manual for specific starting instructions.
3. Move choke lever to the ON position.
4. Move the throttle approximately 1/2 way.
5. Turn the key and release it when the engine starts,
allow the key to return to the ON position.
6. Release the key if the engine fails to start within 10
seconds. Allow a 60 second cool down period between
starting attempts if the engine does not start. Failure
to follow these guidelines can cause permanent damage to the starter.
7. Shut off the starter immediately if it does not turn over
the engine. Make no further attempts to start the engine until the condition is corrected.
8. Gradually move the choke lever to the OFF position as
the engine warms.
3.2 VACUUMING
The towable truck loader is designed to suck in leaves and
other debris the blow it into a trailer or truck.
4. Be careful when vacuuming around gravel, gardens,
lawn ornaments, etc.
5. Adjust the discharge tube to the desired loading position before starting.
6. Remove snapper pin to release hose inlet from hose
holder weldment.
7. Insert snapper pin into slot in hose holder for safe keeping.
8. Pull flex hose around to the back of the towable truck
loader using the aluminum handles.
9. Point the hose inlet towards the debris to remove; use
a sweeping motion to remove debris from a larger area.
10. Vacuuming radius is approximately nine (9) feet from
the end of the flex hose.
3.3 STOPPING
1. Move the throttle to between half and full throttle.
2. Turn the key to OFF.
3.4 UNPLUGGING
DANGER
The rotor continues to turn for some time after the engine is shut off.
The towable truck loader is designed to be used in fairly dry
conditions. Wet material along with too much debris and
large sticks can plug the rotor or hose. A plugged rotor
bogs down the engine and can possibly stop the engine if
the rotor is severely plugged.
1. Shut off engine and allow rotor to completely stop.
DANGER
The hose inlet vacuums debris as soon as the engine
starts.
1. Keep hands, or any part of body or clothing away from
the hose inlet, discharge chute, or any moving part.
2. Maintain proper balance and footing at all times.
3. Run unit at full operating speed before starting to
vacuum.
Page 8 Truck Loader Operator’s Manual
Remove spark plug wire.
2. Remove the access bolt.
3. Turn the access cover to fit the bolts through the slots.
4. Remove the access cover to allow access to the rotor.
5. Clear debris; verify the rotor is unplugged by turning it
by hand before replacing the access cover and bolt.
