2.5 Personal Protective Equipment and Clothing
Always wear proper safety equipment as outlined below, not wearing such equipment CAN result in serious personal injury or possible death.
IMPORTANT CHECKS:
Anyone operating the leaf vacuum equipment MUST wear appropriate protec-
tive equipment and clothing to protect them from injury during operations.
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
1. Head Protection: Hard hats without under-chin strapping.
2. Eye Protection: Wraparound goggle type eye protection held in place with
an elastic band around the head or a hard hat mounted face shield, which
provides full protection of the face.
3. Eye protection must meet ANSI Z87.1 standards.
4. Hearing Protection: plug type or “muff type” ear protection should be
worn at all times while operating the unit.
5. Breathing Protection: Paper lter type dust masks should be worn to
protect from dirt and dust particles during the vacuuming process.
6. Reective Vests: Highly visible vests should be worn so motorists can
see see the operator in all weather and lighting conditions.
7. Work Gloves: Gloves should be worn to protect the hands and wrists from
debris.
8. Steel Toed Boots: should be worn to protect the feet.
Work clothes MUST be close tting, but not restrictive of movement, without any loose parts that could be entangled in any parts
of the leaf vacuum. This includes items such as jewelry, chains
and backpacks.

2.6 Work Site Preparation
Never place any part of the body under or behind guards or any
other visually obscured area.
Making sure the leaves are clear of possible dangerous material is
critical to safe vacuuming. Vacuuming up metal, glass, rocks or
other dangerous material CAN cause serious damage to the equipment or personal injury.
The following guidelines must be followed to insure safety.
1. An inspection of the leaves to be vacuumed must be done prior to
the vacuuming process. We realize that it is impossible to completely
inspect every inch of leaves being vacuumed, but it is imperative that
all leaves be inpsected for obvious dangerous material before vacuuming.
2. The operator should never be in the line of trafc, the operator should
work on the shoulder whenever possible.
3. The operators should place cones or other barriers to provide adequate warnings to vehicles and pedestrians that vacuuming is in
progress.
4. Strobe lights on the leaf vacuum and on the tow vehicle should be on
at all times for high visibility.
5. Conrm that all operators are wearing proper clothes and personal
protective equipment.
6. Restrict all personnel, except the operator from the area near the leaf
vacuum. DO NOT allow pedestrians, children or animals near the
work area.

3.1 Starting Engine
Always make sure the PTO is disengaged before
starting unit. (See gure 3b)
DO NOT start the engine in an enclosed building.
Proper ventilation is required before starting the
engine.
Thoroughly read and understand the safety and
pre-operating sections of this manual before staring the engine.
Throttle Control
The Module Uses J1939 throttle aka Torque Speed Control (TSC1)
PRIOR TO STARTING ENGINE, select the proper throttle control mode and parameters required for
application
Throttle is set through the Throttle Conguration Menu in the Control module
*Under CAN Conguration, you will nd Throttle Type Selection / TSC Min Speed / TSC Max Speed /
TSC Ramp Rate / Throttle Curve Selection*
Manual Throttle Options
1) Vernier Throttle
Standard Up and Down Throttle between the set Minimum and Maximum selections.
The Ramp rate is the rate of acceleration in RPMs per second.
2)Multistate Throttle
Provides for one, two, three, or four specic operating speeds. Pressing the Up and
Down Buttons adjusts engine speed between the selected multistate speed selections.
3) High/Low
Engine Accelerates to the Max Speed Setting with the Up button pressed. When the Up
button is released, the engine goes back to idle speed.

3.1 Starting Engine, continued;
Review the Engine Operating Manual supplied with your leaf vacuum for specic start-
up, maintenance and operating instructions. It is especially important to review break-in
service procedures for brand new units.
Starting Procedure:
1. Perform all the pre-starting, pre-operating checks outlined in the EOM and in this
manual.
2. Make sure the PTO is disengaged as shown in gure 3a
3. IMPORTANT: Do not operate the starter for more than 30 seconds at a time.
To do so may overheat the starter. If the engine does not start the rst time,
wait at least 2 minutes before trying again. If the engine fails to start after 4 attempts, see the trouble shooting section of the EOM and this manual.
4. Turn the ignition switch all the way to the right, when the engine starts release the
ignition switch. It should spring back to the ON position.
5. IMPORTANT: If the ignition switch is released before the engine starts, wait
until the starter and the engine stop turning before trying again. This will pre-
vent possible damage to the starter and/or ywheel.
6. Check all gauges for normal engine opreration. If operation is not normal, stop the
engine and determine the cause.
7. IMPORTANT: To assure proper lubrication, operate the engine at or below
1200 rpm with no load for 1 -2 minutes. Extend this period 2 - 4 minutes when
operating at temperatures below freezing.

ECU Throttle Settings
Controls, Inc. panels use J1939 throttle, also called TSC throttle (torque/speed control). This is
different from the older analog and digital throttle options provided in engine ECU's. Two throttle
settings need to be implemented in the engine ECU.
1) TSC throttle needs to be enabled in the engine ECU settings
2) TSC address needs to be matched to control panel throttle setting
Most engine ECU today have TSC enabled as a default setting but for situation where it is not, the
engine ECU needs to be updated with this setting enabled. The control panel has a number of TSC
addresses that can be selected to match the engine ECU setting.
CAN bus Wires
With J1939 engines, all of the communications between the engine ECU and the control panel occurs over the two CAN bus wires. This includes the engine information (like oil pressure, engine
speed, alarm codes and alarm lamps) going from the engine ECU to the control panel and throttle
commands going from the control panel to the engine ECU. If there is a break in the CAN bus
wires, communications stop and the control panel displays a CAN bus error message. Also, in spark
ignition engines, CAN bus wires should located away from the spark plug wires, distributor cap and
ignition coil to avoid EMI from these high voltage components.
Proper Diode Installation
The proper installation of diodes protects the control panel and other electrical components (such as
the engine ECU) from transient voltage spikes generated whenever any relay (coil) in the system is
de-energized. See diode protection for more details. 1939 engine harnesses provided by the engine
manufacturer or Controls, Inc. follow proper diode protection specications.
Relay Outputs
Many of our products provide for relay outputs that can be used to drive other components and devices. These outputs are rated for a maximum current draw of 5 to 10 amps. For components or devices that draw more that this (such as a starter or glow plug circuit), it is necessary to install a slave
relay that is diode protected into the circuit. Controls, Inc. can provide any necessary slave relays.

Panel Throttle Settings
A number of panel settings are available in different Controls, Inc. panels. It is important to
check the throttle settings during installation. Basic settings for minimum speed, maximum
speed and ramp rate should be reviewed for a manual start situation. For an auto start situation,
other settings for warm up speed, operating speed and cool down speed should be reviewed.
Interlock Settings
Interlock settings provide the ability to turn relay outputs on and off based on conditions like
engine speed or engine run. They are typically used for clutch engage/disengage or to turn on/
off other devices when required during equipment operation. These settings need to be reviewed
during installation
Stored engine ECU codes can be viewed in the Stored Codes menu. The panel displays are codes currently stored on the engine ECU.
Alarm Log
All alarms and shutdowns are added to the control panel alarm log. The alarm log maintains the
last 32 alarms and faults. Each event is logged with the engine hour reading at the time of occurrence. This provides a history of alarms and shutdowns for mechanical engines that is valuable
for service and troubleshooting.
