Connecting the Battery Wire (Electric Start Models)
We ship all Electric-Starting DR WALK-BEHIND LEAF AND LAWN
VACUUMS with the Black Negative Battery Wire disconnected. This
prevents the Battery from discharging during shipment. You must connect
the Battery wire before using your machine.
1. Locate the Negative Terminal on the Battery. ( Figure 13 )
2. Remove the protective Cap that comes on the Battery Terminals for
shipping.
3. Insert the Negative Wire Connector onto the Negative Terminal of the
Battery.
Installing the Collection Bag
1. Locate the Cover Latch Handle ( Figure 14 ), then lift the handle to open
the Bag Top Cover. Lift the Bag Top Cover just past vertical where the Bag
Top Cover will stay up by itself. (
Figure 15 ).
2. Unfurl the bag until it can stand on its own.
3. Position the top of the bag around the outside of the Bag Clamping Ring
while allowing the bag to stand on the Bag Support Platform. ( Figure
16 ).
4. Fold the Bag edges over and into the Bag Clamping Ring and crimp the
Bag around the Bag Clamping Ring. ( Figure 17 ).
5. Close the Bag Top Cover and ensure the Latch is secured. (Figure 18).
Note: The machine will not turn on if the Bag Top Cover isn ’ t secured
completely.
