Vacuuming
The Truck Loader is designed to pick up leaves and other debris then deposit
it in a trailer or truck.
• Keep hands, or any part of body or clothing away from the hose inlet,
discharge chute, or any moving part.
• Maintain proper balance and footing at all times.
• Run unit at full operating speed before starting to vacuum.
• Be careful when vacuuming around gravel, gardens, lawn ornaments, etc.
1. Adjust the discharge tube to the desired loading position before starting.
• The hose inlet vacuums debris as soon as the engine starts.
2. Remove snapper pin to release hose inlet from hose holder weldment.
3. Insert snapper pin into slot in hose holder for safe keeping.
4. Pull flex hose around to the back of the Towable Truck Loader using the
aluminum handles.
5. Point the hose inlet towards the debris to remove; use a sweeping motion
to remove debris from a larger area.
• Vacuuming radius is approximately nine (9) feet from the end of the
flex hose.
Unplugging
• The Towable Truck 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 .
• The vacuum loses suction if the flex hose is plugged.
• A plugged rotor bogs down the engine and can possibly stop the engine if
the rotor is severely plugged.
1. Shut off engine and allow rotor to completely stop. Remove spark plug
wire.
2. Remove the access bolt.
3. Turn the access cover to fit the bolts through the slots.
4. Remove the access cover to allow access to the rotor.
5. Clear debris; verify the rotor is unplugged by turning it by hand before
replacing the access cover and bolt.
Danger! The rotor
continues to turn for
sometime after the
engine is shut off.
