Operation  
INTENDED USE: This machine is designed for vacuuming  
leaves, grass clippings and other types of organic litter.  
14.3  
DEBRIS BAG  
Debris bags are normal replaceable wear items.  
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.  
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. 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.  
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 8).  
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:  
Like all mechanical tools, reasonable care must  
be used when operating machine.  
Inspect machine work area and machine before operat-  
ing. Make sure that all operators of this equipment are  
trained in general machine use and safety.  
PUT OIL IN ENGINE BEFORE STARTING.  
The debris bag must be cleaned more frequently. A vacuum  
with a clean, pillow soft bag will have good pickup perfor-  
mance. One with a dirty, tight bag will have poor pickup  
performance. If dirty, empty debris and vigorously shake bag  
free of dust.  
14.1  
STARTING  
ENGINE: See engine manufacturer’s instructions  
for type and amount of oil and gasoline used.  
Engine must be level when checking and filling oil and  
gasoline.  
Machine or pressure-wash debris bag if normal cleaning does  
not fully clean bag. Bag should be thoroughly dry before use.  
Having one or more spare debris bags is a good way to reduce down time  
while dirty bags are being cleaned.  
FUEL VALVE: Move fuel valve to "ON" position (when  
provided on engine).  
DO NOT leave debris in bag while in storage.  
PRIMER: Push primer per engine instructions.  
IF YOUR UNIT FAILS TO START:  
See Troubleshooting on page 8.  
14.4  
HANDLING &TRANSPORTING:  
Using two people to lift machine is recommended. Lift holding the  
handle and front of nozzle. Secure in place during transport.  
14.2  
VACUUMING OPERATION  
VACUUM NOZZLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT: is  
raised and lowered by pulling slightly upward on handle  
and pulling height adjust control (item 23) out on left side of  
handle. (Note: Top notch is intended for use with hose kit  
to cut off intake air.)  
14.5  
STORAGE  
Never store engine indoors or in enclosed poorly venti-  
lated 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:  
FOR MAXIMUM PICKUP: Adjust nozzle close to  
debris, but without blocking airflow into the nozzle.NOTE: Never  
bury nozzle into debris.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
14.10  
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.  
Do not store with debris in bag.

MAINTENANCE  
17.1 IMPELLER REMOVAL  
Use only a qualified mechanic for  
any adjustments, disassembly or  
any kind of repair .  
1. Wait for engine to cool and disconnect spark plug.  
2. Drain fuel and oil from the engine.  
3. Remove bag, quick release, and upper handle.  
WARNING: TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY, ALWAYS  
TURN MACHINE OFF, MAKE SURE ALL MOVING  
PARTS COMETO A COMPLETE STOP.  
4.Remove housing top plate by removing bolts around outside of  
housing.  
5. Leaving engine fastened to top plate, remove impeller bolt and lock  
washer and slide impeller off crankshaft (A puller may be required).  
DISCONNECT SPARK PLUGWIRE  
BEFORE SERVICING UNIT.  
6. If impeller slides off freely, proceed to step 9.  
(Do not drop impeller).  
7. 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.  
ENGINE: See engine manufacturer  
operator's instructions.  
DEBRIS BAG: See page 5.  
8. 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.  
RECONNECT SPARK PLUGWIRE,  
GUARDS, BAG, CAPS AND / OR  
HOSE BEFORE STARTING ENGINE.
