UNIT OPERATION
2. OPERATING THE BLOWER:
GENERAL RULES TO OBSERVE BEFORE
AND DURING OPERATION:
•
Be sure that you have connected the unit to the towing vehicle correctly and
securely, carefully following manufacturer’s instructions.
•
Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations for safe operation.
•
Clear the entire work area of all debris that could catch on or be thrown by the
blower. High velocity discharge can easily turn rocks and branches into dangerous
flying projectiles.
•
Do not start unit until you are ready to begin debris removal, and promptly shut unit
down as soon as operation is complete.
•
When blowing dry debris, set blower discharge to lower rate; when blowing wet or
frozen debris, increase discharge rate.
•
Use proper discretion in selecting your cleaning pattern, especially on uneven
terrain. Avoid steep hills, especially if turf is wet. Do not travel straight down slopes
exceeding 14 degrees. If tires begin to slip when climbing a slope, the grade is too
steep for safe operation. Angle to a less steep slope until tires stop slipping and
traction is regained.
•
Be keenly aware of the unit’s presence on the rear of the tractor, especially when
backing up or negotiating tight spaces and corners. Failure to do this can result in
serious damage to unit, towing vehicle, and/or property.
CHANGING DIRECTION OF DISCHARGE:
•
The Giant-Vac Tow-Behind Blower discharges air initially from the left side of the unit
(driver’s perspective). However, right hand discharge can be achieved by pulling the
left side of the T-shaped discharge direction control handle, located to the left rear of
the operator and made easily accessible with a length of rope knotted through the
hole in each end of the handle. This handle operates an inner deflector door, which,
when opened, diverts air flow out to the right side. * This door is held in place by the
pressure of the air flow, which permits hands-free operation while in right hand
mode.
•
The operator can at any time revert back to left hand discharge by pulling the right
side of the handle; however, when the unit is shut down, or the engine has been
throttled down sufficiently, the spring-loaded inner door will close and air flow will
automatically revert back to left hand discharge.
•
Each discharge opening has an adjustable deflector to assist in directing the ground
air flow for varying conditions.
*Please note that the Giant-Vac Tow-Behind Blower is designed to be equally efficient in either
left or right hand discharge mode.
