OPERATION
1. Gradually move throttle to the slowest position.
2. Turn the engine switch to OFF.
3. If applicable, turn the fuel cut-off switch to OFF.
4.4 STOPPING THE MACHINE
1. Run engine at full operating speed before starting to
vacuum.
2. On trailer models, remove the snap pin to release the
hose inlet from the hose holder weldment. Insert the
snap pin back into the hose holder for safe keeping.
3. Point the hose inlet towards the debris to be removed.
Use a sweeping motion to remove debris from a large
area.
4.5 VACUUMING OPERATION
1. Keep hands or any other part of body or clothing away
from the hose inlet, discharge chute, or any moving
part.
2. Maintain proper balance and footing at all times.
3. Be careful when vacuuming around gravel, gardens,
lawn ornaments, etc.
4. Keep hose as straight as possible during operation in
order to prevent plugging.
5. Use a sweeping motion when vacuuming debris.
6. For maximum suction, keep nozzle close to debris, but
do not block air flow into the nozzle.
7. To extend hose life, periodically rotate the hose on the
fan housing and intake nozzle. This will promote even
wear on the hose.
4.6 VACUUMING TIPS AND SAFETY
1. Check engine oil level before starting. Add oil if low,
but do not overfill.
2. Make sure the hose inlet is free from debris.
3. Point the discharge tube in the correct direction.
4. Turn the fuel cut-off switch to ON.

engine, partial or no choke may be necessary).
7. Move the throttle to between half and full throttle.
8. Pull the recoil starter until light resistance is felt. Then,
pull briskly. Make sure the starting cord retracts. Repeat
until engine starts.
9. Move the choke to the RUN position.
10. Gradually move the choke lever to the OFF position
as the engine warms.
11. Gradually move the throttle to the full throttle position.
