MAINTENANCE
Your PECO Lawn Vac was designed and built to provide years of service with only minor care.
Certain tasks however must be performed to keep it in good operating condition and to avoid
costly repairs. This section describes and provides procedures for the necessary care of the
Lawn Vac.
PECO
SCHEDULED CARE CARE REQUIRED
Before Each Use
Check engine oil.
Check all hose connections.
After Each Use
Every 10 Hours
Clean Collector Box, hoses and engine of all grass and dirt.
Check to be sure all screws, nuts, bolts, pins, etc. are present and secure.
Storage
Never store your PECO Lawn Vac with a full or partially filled container; decaying grass and leaves may constitute a
fire hazard if left too long. Never leave your vac exposed to the elements. While the metal parts are protected with
a quality paint, the engine and other unprotected parts may deteriorate if left exposed to rain or snow.
Emptying The Lawn Vac
When the container becomes full, the blower tone will change. In order to empty the container - Release the back door
by moving the dump handle on the left hand side of the container. Release the door, push back on the container and
the debris falls out. When empty, pull the box forward; move the dump handle in to properly close the rear door.

ter Your Service Center will be happy to supply replacement parts, and accessories as well as
