Handle
GROUND SPEED can be varied by applying slight downward
pressure to handle during operation (to allow drive wheels
partial slippage) or by changing the engine rpm.
For improved control in confined areas, this machine can be
freewheel pushed forward or backward by releasing the
operator's bail and pushing machine.
This vacuum is self-propelled. To engage the drive, pull
operator's bail against operator's handle. The drive is disen-
gaged by releasing the operator's bail.
Never store engine indoors or in enclosed poorly venti-
lated areas with fuel in tank, where fuel fumes may reach an
open flame, spark or pilot light, as on a furnace, water heater,
clothes dryer or other gas appliance.
If engine is to be unused for 30 days or more, prepare as
follows:
Be sure engine is cool. Do not smoke. Remove all
gasoline from carburetor and fuel tank to prevent gum deposits
from forming on these parts and causing possible malfunction
of engine. Drain fuel outdoors, into an approved container,
away from open flame. Run engine until fuel tank is empty and
engine runs out of gasoline.
Using two people to lift machine is recommended. Lift holding the
handle and front of nozzle. Secure in place during transport.
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer (such as Sta-Bil) is an acceptable
alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits
during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or
storage container. Always follow mix ratio found on stabilizer
container. Run engine at least 10 min. after adding stabilizer to
allow it to reach the carburetor.
Do not store with debris in bag.
