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).
SHUT DOWN
1. Pull Throttle Control all the way back to the STOP position.
CLEARING A CLOGGED 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.
WEAR durable gloves. Clog may contain sharp materials.
4. Reconnect spark plug wire.
DEBRIS BAG
Debris bags are normal replaceable wear items.
Frequently empty debris to prevent bag overloading with more weight than you can lift.
Bag liners are available for use in various conditions where debris will be vacuumed. (see Bag Liner Options shown on
page 1).
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!!.
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:
•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.
Having one or more spare bags (840189) is a good way to reduce down time while dirty bags are being cleaned.
Felt Bag (840194) accessory is great when used in dusty conditions.

MAINTENANCE
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Periodic maintenance should be performed at the following intervals:
Maintenance Operation Every Use Daily or Every 5
Hours Every 25 Hours Every 50 Hours Every 100-150 Hours
Inspect for worn or damaged parts. z
Check for excessive vibration z
Inspect for loose parts. z
Clean Debris Bag z
Lubricate throttle control cable and linkage.
NOTE: Use white lithium grease or equivalent z
IMPELLER REMOVAL
READ all safety instructions before servicing unit.
DISCONNECT spark plug wire before servicing unit.
Tools required:
-1/2” socket, 3/8” drive and 3/8” ratchet
-drive extension, 3/8” drive
-universal joint, 3/8” drive
-pry bar or long screwdriver
-jack stands or similar device adequate to support weight of machine.
1. Wait for engine to cool and disconnect spark plug.
2. Drain fuel and oil from the engine.
3. Remove engine, impeller and mounting plate by removing bolts around outside of housing.
4. Leaving engine fastened to plate, remove impeller bolt and lock washer and slide impeller off crankshaft (A puller
may be required). CAUTION: Do not drop impeller.
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.
6. If the impeller cannot be loosened, obtain a 3/8-24x3 ¾” 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.
7. To reinstall impeller, use a new impeller bolt and lockwasher
8. Tighten impeller bolt. Torque impeller bolt to 33-38 Ft. Lbs. (45-51 N.m).
9. Reinstall engine, impeller, and mounting plate onto housing in reverse order of removal.
10. Before connecting spark plug wire, slowly pull engine starting rope to insure that impeller rotates freely.
11. Reconnect spark plug wire.
