Note: Frequently empty debris to prevent bag overloading with
more weight than you can lift.
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.
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).
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:
•Run machine at idle to quarter throttle.
•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.
•Machine or pressure-wash debris bag if normal cleaning does
not fully clean bag. Bag should be thoroughly dry before use.
Having one or more spare debris bags is a good way to reduce down time
while dirty bags are being cleaned.
•DO NOT leave debris in bag while in storage.
Debris bags are normal replaceable wear items.

ENGINE
When servicing engine refer to specific manufacturers engine
owner's manual. All engine warranty is covered by the specific
engine manufacturer. If your engine requires warranty or other
repair work contact your local servicing engine dealer. When
contacting a dealer for service it is a good idea to have your
engine model number available for reference(See table page 11).
If you can not locate a servicing dealer in your area you can
contact the manufacturers national service organization.

Before turning machine off, use the Tamper to slowly push
remaining pieces of wood through the chipper. This can
prevent any remaining wood from jamming in the chipper when
machine is turned off.
Do not leave tamper on the ground, store tamper in the chipper
hopper.
Usingtwopeopleto lift machine isrecommended. Liftholdingthe
handle and front of nozzle. Secure in place during transport.
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.
Do not store with debris in bag.

MAINTENANCE
CHIPPERBLADE REMOVALANDSHARPENING-TKDONLY
Depending on the type and amount of wood being chipped, the
chipper blade will eventually get dull, losing it’s cutting ability.
Evidence of a dull blade is a noticeably reduced chipping ability or a
rough cut on end of branch.
Note: The chipper blade gap is factory set and should be checked
each time impeller is removed from engine crankshaft and reset if
required. If reassembly requires a different quantity of shim
washers, Billy Goat®shim washer must be used.
Chipper blades are normal replaceable wear items.
DANGER Chipper blade is sharp.
Replace any damaged blade.
10. Usinga 3/16" Allenwrenchand1/2" open endwrench,remove
chipper blade from impeller.
11. Sharpen blade by lightly grinding the cutting edge of the blade
at 40 degrees (see fig. 5). It is not necessary to remove all nicks
from the cutting edge.
CAUTION: Be careful to avoid heat buildup
in the blade during sharpening.This will reduce it’s heat- treated
hardness properties and will reduce blade life. Evidence of too
much heat build-up is a change of color along sharpened edge.
12.The same chipper blade can be sharpened several times.
However, blade replacement is required when blade no longer
overhangs the chip relief hole in impeller back plate or if increased
vibration occurs (see fig. 5).
13. Chipper blade installation is in reverse order of removal.

14.Toreinstallimpeller,use a new impellerboltandlockwasherand
useexactly thesamecrankshaft impellershimwashers as were
removedduringdisassembly (unless theyweredamaged). Note:
yourunit mayor maynot have requiredthe useof shimwashers .
15. Tighten impeller bolt. Torque impeller bolt to 50 Ft.Lbs. (68 N.m)
(see item 51 on page 11).
16. Slowly rotate impeller to insure proper chipper blade clearance.
Check to see that gap between chipper blade and anvil surface (on
lower side of housing top plate) measures between 0.040"(1.02mm)
and0.080"(2.03mm).
17. If gap is less than 0.040"(0.51mm), add shim washer 890130
(0.060"{1.52mm} thick) and/or 890131 (0.020"{1.02mm} thick),
whichever is required. If gap is more than 0.080"(2.03mm), remove
one or more shim washers as needed to obtain correct gap (see fig.
6 & fig. 7). The chipper will function at up to a maximum of
0.125"(3.18mm) gap.

IMPELLER REMOVAL and CHIPPER ADJUSTMENT
1. Waitfor engine tocooland disconnect sparkplug.
2. Drain fuel and oil from the engine.
3. Remove bag, quick release, and upper handle.Do not kink,
stretch, or break control cables, control housings, or end fittings
while removing handles.
4.Remove housing top plate by removing bolts around outside of
housing.
5. Leaving engine fastened to top plate, remove impeller bolt and
lock washer and slide impeller off crankshaft ( A puller may be
required).
6. Retain shim washers used at end of crankshaft for use at impeller
reinstallation (see fig.7). However, your unit may or may not have
required the use of shim washers.
7. If impeller slides off freely, proceed to (step 11 or step 15).
(Do not drop impeller).
8. 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.
9. 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.

1. Remove chainguard (item 118) and 3 screws (item 81 & 71).
2. Inspect chains (items 87 & 88), for wear, (see chain replace-
ment), lubrication and correct adjustment.
3. If adjustments are required, loosen 4 carriage bolts (item
90), that hold bearing brackets for jackshaft assembly.
4. Adjusting all (3) chains at same time is necessary and can
be done by pulling jackshaft (item 93), up and forward.
5. Tension chains - similar to bicycle chain tightness with
about 1/8”(3.2mm) deflection with light hand pressure mid-
way between sprockets. A slightly loose chain is better than an
over tightened chain. DO NOT over tighten.
6. With chains aligned and tensioned, and jackshaft (item 93),
square and level, tighten carriage bolts (item 90).
7. Completely rotate drive wheels around several times to
insure there are no excessively tight areas in the chain.
8. Repeat steps 4 thru 7 if chains need readjustment.
9. Reinstall chainguard (item 118).
1. With chain guard removed, loosen carriage bolts (item 90),
that hold jackshaft (item 93), and bearing plates (item 101).
2. To replace inner chain (item 88), remove jackshaft
assembly and install replacement chain.
3. To replace wheel chains (item 87), slide bearing plates
(item 101), toward engine to loosen chains. Remove front
wheels. Reinstall replacement chains with wheels and onto
jackshaft sprockets.
4. See steps 4 thru 7 for chain alignment and adjustment.
5. Reinstall chainguard (item 118).

Chains are normal replaceable wear items. A new chain
should not be used on worn sprockets. Sprockets should be
