VACUUMING OPERATION
16.2
EXHAUST FLAPPER:
Discharging into enclosed container,
position exhaust flapper to desired opening and secure
adjustment knob before starting engine. NOTE: An enclosed
container must capture all debris delivered into it preventing
any debris from blowing back onto unit's engine (see page 1
optional accessories).
INTENDED USE:
This machine is designed for vacuuming
leaves, grass clippings and other types of organic litter.
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.
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 12).
Inspect machine work area and machine before operating.
Make sure that all operators of this equipment are trained
in general machine use and safety.

NOZZLE:
With machine running and fully assembled, move
nozzle in sweeping motions over debris. For maximum pickup,
move nozzle close to debris, but without blocking air flow into
the nozzle (see figure 1).
NOTE:
Never bury nozzle into debris.
ADJUSTING HOSE BOOM:
Properly adjusting the boom will prevent most hose clogs from
occurring and will give optimum vacuum performance by
keeping hose straight next to housing (see fig. 2).
