Section 2 – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
2. Inspect debris bag. It must be properly attached
WARNING
to machine, in good condition, clean and dry
with the top zipper fully closed. Make sure that
the accessory plug is installed into front hole in
vacuum nozzle.
Entire debris bag and bag adapter must be properly
installed before starting engine. The debris bag and
bag adapter are subject to deterioration during
normal use. Inspect frequently and replace if signs
of deterioration are observed.
3. Start engine. Not all debris pickup will require
that the engine speed be set to “FAST”. You can
experiment with vacuum inlet height and engine
speed to best suit your conditions.
4. Operating in dry dusty conditions may require
that the engine be set to the “SLOW” position.
The debris bag can quickly become plugged
with fine dust, reducing vacuum action. A
zippered vent flap has been provided on the
side of the bag. It can be opened to improve
airflow. DO NOT open top zipper when engine is
running.
2.2 STARTING, STOPPING & OPERATION
2.2.1. STARTING ENGINE
Before starting engine complete all items in the Pre-Start
Check List. The discharge opening is equipped with a
safety interlock. The entire debris bag and bag adapter
must be properly installed for the engine to start.
1. Move machine to flat open area.
2. Move engine speed control all the way forward in the
“FAST” (Rabbit) position.
3. Depress primer 3 times to start a cold engine. NOTE:
the primer may not be required to restart a hot
engine.
4. Pull out on recoil rope until resistance is felt. Pull
sharply until engine starts. Guide rope back into
engine.
5. For peak performance, keep debris bag clean
and do not overfill. The bag must be completely
dry before use.
WARNING
5. After starting, move engine speed control back to
about half throttle.
DO NOT remove bag adapter from machine or open
debris bag with engine running. STOP engine and
allow all rotation to stop.
2.2.3 STOPPING ENGINE
1. Move engine speed control rearward to the “STOP”
position.
2. Allow all rotation to come to a complete stop before
removing or emptying the debris bag.
3. When possible it is good practice to bring the engine
speed control to the “SLOW” (Turtle) position to allow
the engine to cool down before stopping engine.
6. If the vacuum inlet or discharge becomes
plugged, STOP ENGINE. Engine must come to
a complete stop before removing debris bag or
attempting to remove plug from inlet area. To
avoid accidental starting, always remove the
sparkplug wire from the sparkplug and secure
away from sparkplug. When possible use a stick
to remove the plug. If that does not work, and
hands must be used, wear heavy gloves. The
debris could contain sharp items.
WARNING
DO NOT operate machine without the entire debris
bag and bag adapter installed and the zipper fully
closed. Always wear eye, ear and breathing
protection when operating machine.
WARNING
DO NOT vacuum any debris that is burning, wet,
flammable, explosive, or poisonous.
2.2.4 OPERATION
DO NOT store with debris in the bag. Decaying
organic debris generates heat that could damage the
bag or result in a fire.
This Yard Vacuum has been designed to pick up
dry organic debris such as leaves, grass clippings,
shavings and sawdust as well as debris mixed with
cans, bottles and small amounts of sand.
Vacuuming hard non-organic debris will affect the
life of your machine. Sand is abrasive and will
produce wear of items including the blower
housing, impeller and bag adapter.
2.3 VACUUM HOSE KIT (Optional Accessory)
A vacuum hose kit is available that plugs into the
front of the Yard Vacuum. The hose allows easy
access for hard to reach places. Contact your
authorized dealer for information.
1. Adjust height of vacuum inlet. For maximum
debris pickup, inlet should be as close to debris
as possible without blocking airflow and engine
speed set to “FAST”.
