PROPULSION: BG self-propelled vacuums are equipped
with 1 forward gear, neutral and reverse. With the engine
running, the bail in released position and brake in on
position, select desired drive gear. Lift bail against handle to
engage drive (see figure 1 & 2). Smoothly engage the bail.
Use good judgement when operating the self-propelled
drive.
Using neutral, on level terrain is advisable when maneuver-
ing in tight areas. This increases operator control, and can
prevent bumping into nearby objects.
Do not force-shift gears of transmission. To assist gear
meshing, it may be necessary to partially engage bail while
shifting.
To stop machine, release operator's bail.
For reverse - Set Throttle to Idle.
With operator's bail released, pull shift lever reverse
position. Then smoothly lift operator's bail against handle.
Release bail to stop (see figure 2).
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.
Do not store with debris in bag.
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.
Using two people to lift machine is recommended. Lift holding the
handle and front of nozzle. Secure in place during transport.
