VACUUM NOZZLE DOOR ADJUSTMENT
The vacuum nozzle door adjusts for the maximum performance under various applications.
•With the handle fully back the nozzle is fully opened. This is ideal for turf application. (See Fig. 11)
•For hard surface applications, set the handle midway. (See Fig. 12)

VACUUMING OPERATION
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. In dusty conditions it maybe
necessary to purchase Felt Bag Kit (P/N 840022).
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 22).
CLEARING ACLOGGED NOZZLE
DISCONNECT spark plug wire before servicing unit.
1. Shut engine off and wait for impeller to stop completely.
2. Disconnect spark plug wire.
3. Wearing durable gloves, remove clog. Caution: clog may contain sharp materials.
4. Reconnect spark plug wire.
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.
The vacuum nozzle is raised and lowered by turning the crank handle
clockwise and counter-clockwise. (See Fig. 10)
