OPERATION
VACUUMING OPERATION
VACUUM NOZZLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT: Nozzle height is raised and lowered by
rotating the red knob near the left rear wheel. Nozzle height should be adjusted based on
the task being performed. (See Fig. 4)
FOR MAXIMUM PICKUP: Adjust nozzle close to debris, but without blocking airflow into
the nozzle. NOTE: Never bury nozzle into debris.
CLEARING A CLOGGED NOZZLE & EXHAUST: Turn the 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.
DEBRIS BAG
Debris bags are normal replaceable wear items.
NOTE: Frequently empty debris to prevent bag overloading with more weight than you can lift.
An optional felt bag is available for use where debris will be vacuumed in dusty conditions (see "Accessories" shown on page 1).
DO NOT place bag on or near hot surface, such as engine. 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 and General Operation
manual").
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:
• Run machine at idle to quarter throttle.
• The debris bag must be cleaned frequently. A vacuum with a clean, pillow soft bag will have good pickup performance. One
with a dirty, tight bag will have poor pickup performance. If dirty, empty debris and vigorously shake bag free of dust.
• Pressure-wash debris bag if normal cleaning does not fully clean bag. Bag should be thoroughly dry before use.
NOTE: Having one or more spare debris bags is a good way to reduce down time while dirty bags are being cleaned.
DO NOT leave debris in bag while in storage.
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. NOTE: Allow green chips to dry before spreading around living
plants.
