GENERAL SAFETY  
For your safety and the safety of others, these directions should be followed:  
Do not operate this machine without first reading  
owner's manual and engine manufacturer's manual.  
·DO NOT operate during excessive vibration.  
·DO NOT remove bag until engine has been turned off and has  
come to a complete stop.  
Use of Ear Protection is recommended while  
operating this machine.  
·DO NOT remove hose kit cap on nozzle until engine has been  
turned off and has come to a complete stop.  
Use of Eye and Breathing protection is recom-  
mended when using this machine, especially in dry  
and dusty conditions. Debris bag directs dust toward  
ground, away from the operator and the optional Felt  
Filter reduces the amount of dust reintroduced into the  
environment.  
·DO NOT operate machine with hose cap, bag or hose removed.  
·DO NOT use this machine for vacuuming exclusively sand,  
dust, fine dirt, rock, glass, string like material, grain, rags,  
cans, metal, bark or water.  
·DO NOT operate this machine on slopes greater than 20%.  
·DO NOT pick up any hot or burning debris, or any toxic or  
explosive material.  
·DO NOT place hands or feet inside nozzle intake opening,  
near debris outlet or near any moving parts.  
·DO NOT start engine without debris bag connected firmly in  
place to exhaust outlet.  
·DO NOT allow children to operate this equipment.  
·DO NOT start or operate machine with debris bag zipper  
open.  
These items should be included in your carton. If any  
of these parts are missing, contact your dealer.

Operation  
INTENDED USE: This machine is designed for vacuuming  
leaves, grass clippings and other types of organic litter as  
well as debris mixed with cans, bottles and small amounts of  
sand; however, vacuuming cans, bottles and sand will affect  
the longevity of your machine.  
16.3  
DEBRIS BAG  
Debris bags are normal replaceable wear items.  
Note: Frequently empty debris to prevent bag overloading with  
more weight than you can lift.  
Like all mechanical tools, reasonable care must  
be used when operating machine.  
Bag liners are included and available for use in various conditions  
where debris will be vacuumed. (see Bag Liner Options shown on page 1).  
Do not operate if excessive vibration occurs. If excessive  
vibration occurs, shut engine off immediately and check for  
damaged or worn impeller, loose impeller bolt, loose impeller  
key, loose engine or lodged foreign objects. Note: See parts list  
for proper impeller bolt torque specifications. (See trouble  
shooting section on page 7).  
DO NOT place bag on or near hot surface, such as engine.  
Be sure engine has come to a complete stop  
before removing or emptying bag!!  
This vacuum is designed for picking up trash, organic  
material and other similar debris (see Safety Warnings page 2-3).  
Many vacuums are used where dust is mixed with trash. Your  
unit can intermittently vacuum in dusty areas. However, following  
these rules will help maintain your machine's ability to vacuum in  
dusty conditions:  
Inspect machine work area and machine before operat-  
ing. Make sure that all operators of this equipment are  
trained in general machine use and safety.  
PUT OIL IN ENGINE BEFORE STARTING.  
Run machine at idle to quarter throttle.  
Machine or pressure-wash debris bag if normal cleaning does  
not fully clean bag. Bag should be thoroughly dry before use.  
16.1  
STARTING  
ENGINE: See engine manufacturer’s instructions  
for type and amount of oil and gasoline used.  
Engine must be level when checking and filling oil and  
gasoline.  
Having one or more spare Felt Filter (890435) is a good way to reduce  
down time while dirty bags are being cleaned.  
Do not store with debris in bag. Organic  
debris generates heat during decomposi-  
tion and could damage the bag or start a fire.  
ENGINE SPEED: Controlled by throttle lever on the handle.  
Under normal conditions, operate at minimum throttle to  
accomplish your current cleaning task.  
FUEL VALVE: Move fuel valve to "ON" position (Honda only).  
CHOKE: Operated with throttle control (Honda).  
Post to prime (Briggs & Stratton).  
16.4  
HANDLING & TRANSPORTING:  
Using two people to lift machine is recommended. Lift holding the  
handle and front of nozzle. Secure in place during transport.  
NOTE: Outer bag and rod (items 1 and 3) MUST depress the  
bag presence switch (item 17) for the unit to start. See fig.1  
16.5  
STORAGE  
IF YOUR UNIT FAILS TO START:  
See Troubleshooting on page 8.  
Never store engine indoors or in enclosed poorly ventilated  
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.  
16.2  
VACUUMING OPERATION  
VACUUM NOZZLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT: The  
vacuum nozzle is raised and lowered by pulling slightly  
upward on handle and pulling height adjust T-Handle (item  
23) at operators left hand. Lift handle up or down to desired  
height, then release T-handle.  
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.  
FOR MAXIMUM PICKUP: Adjust nozzle height as  
close to debris as possible, but without blocking airflow into the  
nozzle. NOTE: Never bury nozzle into debris.  
CLEARING A CLOGGED NOZZLE  
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.  
& EXHAUST: Turn engine off and wait for impeller  
to stop completely and disconnect spark plug wire.  
Wearing durable gloves, remove clog. Danger, the  
clog may contain sharp materials. Reconnect spark  
plug wire.  
16.10  
COMPOST

Vacuumed leaves, grass and other organic material from your

enriched soil for later use as fertilizer in gardens and flower beds

For damaged or imbalanced  
impeller  
17.1  
IMPELLER REMOVAL  
1. Wait for engine to cool and disconnect spark plug.  
2. Drain fuel and oil from the engine.  
WARNING: TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY, ALWAYS TURN  
MACHINE OFF, MAKE SURE ALL MOVING PARTS COME  
TO A COMPLETE STOP.  
3. Remove engine, impeller and mounting plate by removing nuts  
(item 26) around outside of housing.  
4. Leaving engine fastened to plate, remove impeller bolt (item 50)  
and lock washer and slide impeller off crankshaft ( A puller may be  
required). CAUTION: Do not drop impeller.  
DISCONNECT SPARK PLUG WIRE  
BEFORE SERVICING UNIT.  
5. If impeller does not slide off crankshaft, place two crowbars  
between impeller and housing on opposite sides. Pry impeller away  
from engine until it loosens. Using a penetrating oil can help loosen  
a stuck impeller.  
ENGINE: See engine manufacturer  
operator's instructions.  
RECONNECT SPARK PLUG WIRE,  
GUARDS, BAG, CAPS AND / OR

6. If the impeller cannot be loosened, obtain a 1” (25.4mm) longer  
bolt of the same diameter and thread type as the impeller bolt.  
Invert engine and impeller and support engine above ground to  
prevent recoil damage. Thread longer bolt by hand into the  
crankshaft until bolt bottoms. Using a suitable gear or wheel puller  
against the bolt head and the impeller back-plate (near the blades),  
remove impeller from shaft.  
Follow these hourly  
maintenance intervals.
