VACUUM AND EMPTY
• Inspect the Lawn Vacuum to make sure all covers, tilt latch lever, elbow, hose adapter, and
hose are properly attached.
• Check tires for proper inflation.
• Check for proper oil and gas levels in both vacuum and lawn tractor engines.
• Begin operation at low speed. Adjust forward speed to match grass height and/or moisture
conditions to prevent clogging. Should your Lawn Vacuum become clogged, shut off both
the tractor and lawn vacuum engines. Before attempting to unclog, remove spark plug wire
to prevent accidental starting.
• To empty the Lawn Vacuum, shut off the tractor engine and set the parking brake. Make
sure that the Lawn Vacuum is on a level surface.
• Shut off Lawn Vacuum engine.
• Disengage the plastic bag adapter from the upper section of the blower connecting tube.
• Make sure that the cart is on a level surface. Release the latch holding the cart to the tongue
by lifting up on the handle. Use caution when releasing the latch. If the cart is positioned on
a downhill slope, the additional weight of the contents may cause the cart to release
abruptly. Always make sure that the area is clear of bystanders prior to dumping the cart
contents.
• Tilt the cart backwards until Support Cable is taut.
• Go to the rear of the Lawn Vac and lift up on the handle (this will allow the cart to tilt
completely).
• Using a rake or other suitable tool, pull the grass clippings from the cart.
• After cart is emptied, return cart to tongue making sure the tilt latch is engaged.
• Re-attach the plastic bag adapter to the top of the blower connecting tube. Make sure that
the plastic flaps at the front and rear of the bag are inserted inside the trailer.
CAUTION!
VEHICLE BRAKING AND STABILITY MAY BE AFFECTED WITH THE
ADDITION OF AN ACCESSORY OR AN ATTACHMENT. BE AWARE OF
CHANGING CONDITIONS ON SLOPES. DO NOT OVER FILL CART.
