OPERATION
FOR MAXIMUM PICKUP: Adjust nozzle close to debris,
but without blocking airflow into the nozzle.
INTENDED USE: This machine is designed for vacuuming
leaves, grass clippings and other types of organic litter.
Debris mixed with cans, bottles and small amounts of sand
can be vacuumed; however, it is not this machine's primary
purpose. Vacuuming cans, bottles and sand will affect the
longevity of your machine.
NOTE: Never bury nozzle into debris.
CLEARING A CLOGGED NOZZLE
& 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.
Self propelled unit is not intended for use with any ground
engaging implements [maximum tow bar weight 300 lbs
(136 kg)].
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 specifica-
tions. (See trouble shooting section on page 16).
NOZZLE GOBBLER DOOR.
Large debris can be vacuumed without readjusting nozzle height by
temporarily opening the remote Nozzle Gobbler Door. For maxi-
mum pickup of small debris, the gobbler door must be down, flush
with front face of nozzle.
Like all mechanical tools, reasonable care must
be used when operating machine.
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.
16.3
DEBRIS BAG
PUT OIL IN ENGINE BEFORE STARTING.
Debris bags are normal replaceable wear items.
16.1
STARTING
Note: Frequently empty debris to prevent bag overloading with
more weight than you can lift.
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.
An optional bag and dust cover is available for use where debris will be
vacuumed in dusty conditions (See Optional Accessories shown on
page 1.)
DO NOT place bag on or near hot surface, such as engine. Run
engine at 1/2 throttle for first 1/2 hour to condition new bag. Your
new bag requires a break-in period to condition the pores of the
material against premature blockage. The entire bag surface
serves as a filter, and must be able to breath to have good vacuum
performance.
ENGINE SPEED: Controlled by throttle lever on left side of
handle. Under normal conditions operate at minimum throttle
to accomplish your current cleaning task. For Honda model,
the stop switch is located on the switch panel on the engine
& for SP Honda models only, on remote shift control panel.
NOTE: Before starting, check that all switches and fuel
valves are on.
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 2-4).
However, many vacuums are used where dust is mixed with
trash. Your unit can intermittently vacuum in dusty areas. Dust
is the greatest cause of lost vacuum performance. However,
following these rules will help maintain your machine's ability to
vacuum in dusty conditions:
FUEL VALVE: Move fuel shutoff valve to "ON" position.
CHOKE: Located at lower rear area of carburetor bowl.
Choke engine before starting when engine is cold.
THROTTLE: Move remote throttle control to fast position.
Pull starting rope to start engine.
IF YOUR UNIT FAILS TO START:
•Run machine at idle to quarter throttle.
See Troubleshooting on page 16.
•The debris bag must be cleaned more frequently. A vacuum
with a clean, pillow soft bag will have good pickup performance.
One with a dirty, tight bag will have poor pickup performance. If
dirty, empty debris and vigorously shake bag free of dust.
16.2
VACUUMING OPERATION
•Machine or pressure-wash debris bag if normal cleaning does
not fully clean bag. Bag should be thoroughly dry before use.
VACUUM NOZZLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT: Is
adjusted by unlocking wing nut (item 32) and turning caster
knob. Turning the knob clockwise increases height. Be sure
the nozzle height is level (left to right) before tightening caster
wing nuts.
Having one or more spare debris bags is a good way to reduce down time
while dirty bags are being cleaned.
Adjust nozzle height according to surface conditions and
debris size; For vacuuming on flat surfaces, set nozzle 1/2"
(12.7 mm) to 5/8" (15.8 mm) above ground; Higher for uneven
terrain and turf. Note: The nozzle side bogie wheels should
be at least 1/8" (3.2mm) above the ground, or maneuver-
ability will be reduced.
•DO NOT leave debris in bag while in storage.

PROPULSION
PROPULSION: VQ self-propelled vacuums are equipped with
5 forward gears, neutral and reverse. With the engine running,
the bail in released position and brake in on position, select
desired drive gear. Pull bail against handle to engage drive
(see figure 7). Smoothly engage the bail. Parking brake
engages when the bail is released. To freewheel, set transmis-
sion control in neutral and pull back on bail.
Clutch
Engaged
Parking
Brake Off
Use good judgement when operating the self-propelled drive.
Fifth gear is faster than walking speed and should normally be
used only for moving quickly from place-to-place.
Throttle
Control
Using neutral, on level terrain is advisable when maneuvering 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 (this engages the
parking brake).
Parking
Brake On
Clutch
Disengaged
For reverse - Set Throttle to Idle.
With operator's bail released, pull shift lever back and
depress wire stop (item 90) to continue to the reverse
position. Then smoothly pull operator's bail against handle.
Release bail to stop (see figure 7).

HANDLING & TRANSPORTING:
Do not lift by hand. Use loading ramps or other mechanical assis-
tance. Secure in place during transport.
16.5
STORAGE
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.
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.

8. Remove impeller bolt and lock washer.
9. If impeller slides off freely, proceed to (step 12).
(Do not drop impeller).
DEBRIS BAG: See page 6.
10. 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.
RECONNECT SPARK PLUG WIRE,
GUARDS, BAG, CAPS AND / OR
HOSE BEFORE STARTING ENGINE.
11. 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.
Inspect machine for loose bolts before starting engine.
Maximum Vacuum: See Maximum Pickup found in Operation
section on page 6. The debris Bag can be washed.
12. Slide impeller off of crank shaft and remove impeller from
housing.
Lubrication: Using S.A.E. 30 weight oil or
equivalent. See maintenance schedule.
13. Reinstall new impeller and all applicable spacers, new
impeller bolt and lockwasher in reverse order of removal.

CHAIN ADJUSTMENTS (see figure 9)
1. Remove guards.
2. Inspect chain and sprockets for wear, lubrication and tension. Replace if badly worn or damaged.
CHAIN TENSION AND ALIGNMENT (see figure 9)
3.Install new chain, locating keeper clip of chain connecting link on inboard side of chain.
4. Reinstall bearings onto axle and assemble bearing mounting screws. Leave screws only partially tightened.
5. Push bearings outward against each rear wheel, fully spreading wheels to both ends of axle.
6. With bearings pressed fully outward against wheels, keeping axle square with engine base, align and tension chain as shown
below and slightly tighten front bearing screws first. Then slightly tighten rear bearings. (Note: Tightening front bearing screws first,
helps keep chain tight.)
7. Recheck chain alignment, tension and axle squareness. If ok, fully tighten front and then rear bearing screws. Repeat adjust-
ment steps if necessary.
8. Check chain tension and roll wheels to be sure there are no excessively tight areas in the chain. Readjust if necessary. A
slightly loose chain is better than an over tightened one.
9. Reinstall chain guard and differential guard.
