ASSEMBLY FOR WALK-BEHIND VACUUMING
Your machine has been partially assembled at the
factory. The remaining assembly steps, which are
described below, should be done on a clean, level
surface.
This assembly procedure readies the machine for use for
walk-behind vacuuming. Instructions for converting the
machine for other uses begin on Page 16. Remember to
add oil to the engine before starting the machine. See
"Add Oil to Engine" on Page 9.
CAUTION
To prevent personal injury or property damage, do not
connect the spark plug or start the engine until all
assembly steps are complete and you have read and
understood the safety and operating instructions in
this Manual.
STEP 1: Install and Adjust the Handlebars
NOTE: The machine has two handlebars positions. For walk-behind vacuuming, using the chipper, or for using the
optional vacuum hose, the handlebars must be in the "vacuum" position. Because the handlebars are shipped in the
"blower" position for packaging considerations, the first assembly step is to change the handlebars to the "vacuum"
position as described below and shown in Figure 2.
A. Tighten the knobs (B).
B. Squeeze the handlebars ends (C in Figure 2 inset) toward the center of the machine to release them from the
notches in the mounting brackets and swing the handlebars up over the machine toward the rear.
C. Position the handlebar ends in the "vacuum" notches of the brackets (0 in Figure 2 inset).
O. Unfold the handlebars until the channels on the upper left and right handlebars are aligned with the lower
handlebars (A).
