SERVICE & MAINTENANCE

BEFORE INSPECTING OR SERVICING ANY PART OF THIS MACHINE, SHUT OFF POWER SOURCE,

AND MAKE SURE ALL MOVING PARTS HAVE COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.

WARNING

1. If the hose becomes plugged during operation,

straightening the hose may dislodge the clog.

2. If straightening the hose does not work, shake the hose

in an up and down or side to side motion.

3. If the clog remains after performing the above two steps,

shut the engine off and wait for all moving parts to stop

moving. Then, remove the access cover from the fan

housing and manually unplug the hose.

5.8 UNPLUGGING THE INLET HOSE

The debris loader is designed to be used in fairly dry

conditions. Wet material, along with too much debris and

large sticks, can plug the rotor or hose. A plugged rotor

bogs down the engine and can possibly stop the engine if

the rotor is severely plugged. To clear the rotor:
