3. Attach the flanged end of the roving nozzle to the blower
housing, seating the flange fully in the slots (Figure 4),
4. The storage rack is assembled and hung on the front of
the cart. No hardware for mounting is required.
(Figure 14).
1. Check to insure that the hoses are securely fastened to
the blower housing, mower adapter and trailer cover
sleeve.
2. Ground speed and throttle adjustment for the vacuum
collector will vary according to the type of work being
done. When making a shallow cut of fairly dry grass, a
faster ground speed (third or fourth gear on manual trans­
mission tractors) and lower throttle setting can be used -
When collecting wet, thick or heavy material, use a
slower ground speed (first or second gear on manual
transmission tractors) and run the engine at near full or
full throttle. This will produce increased vacuum.
3. When picking up leaves and tall grass, raise the mower
to the highest cutting position. A second pass can then
be made with the mower at a lower setting to complete
the job.
4. hi wet and extremely high grass, it may be necessary to
pick up only half of the mower width to prevent the hoses
from becoming clogged with grass.
5. Periodically check the hoses and blower housing to in-
,sure grass clippings have not accumulated which will
affect the flow of grass to the dump cart.
6. Unzip the zipper on the canvas cover during normal op­
eration to provide an air release in the cart enclosure.
During some operations it may be desirable to have the
zipper in the half closed or fully closed position.
7. After using,
cart.
Caution;
clean out grass in neck of hose and dump
Before disconnecting any hoses or perform-,
ing any maintenance or adjustment work, be
sure that the tractor engine is off and the
tractor parking brake is engaged. Do not op­
erate unit if either one or both hoses are not
connected to the blower assembly.
Trouble Shooting
If leaves and grass are not being picked up, check the
following:
1. Run the engine at full throttle and use a slow ground
speed (first gear or manual transmission tractors).
2. Check all hose connections to be sure they are tight.
3. Check hoses and blower housing to be sure they have not
become plugged with grass or leaves.
If the hoses become plugged, check the following:
1. Grass may be too high or wet, use only half the mower
width.
2. Use a slow ground speed and run the engine at full throttle
(first gear on manual transmission tractors).
3. Raise the mower to full height for the first pass, lower
it to make a second pass.
After each use
Be sure to clean out the hoses and cart thoroughly, espe­
cially at the cover sleeve connection.
Storage
Remove the door on the high capacity cart cover or the en­
tire low profile cover and place it where air will circulate
around it. This will prevent rotting of the fabric.
