HOW TO OPERATE THE MACHINE
Move the machine over the area to be cleaned. To lift objects too
large to go under the intake housing, pull the intake door handle. See
figure 5.
See figure 6. The scraper (1) and the shield (2) can be adjusted to
three positions. When the vacuum is being used on an uneven
outdoor surface, do the following:
1. Make sure the scraper is .06 of an inch above the surface.
2. Make sure the shield is in the lowest position above the surface.
To adjust the scraper and the shield, do the following:
1. Pull the pin (3). See figure 6.
2. Move the bracket support to the highest setting on the housing
shaft (4). See figure 6.
3. Make sure the disconnect pin locks into the detent.
If the scraper is not .06 of an inch above the surface, do the following:
1. Loosen the five scraper screws.
2. If the scraper is more than .06 of an inch above the surface, pull
the bottom edge of the scraper.
3. If the scraper is level with or below the surface, push the edge
of the scraper.
4. Adjust the bottom edge so that it is .06 of an inch above the
surface.
5. Tighten the five scraper screws.
CAUTION: Pieces of wire, metal, and rope can
damage the vacuum. Do not try to lift or
vacuum these objects.
NOTE: When an object is held between the impeller and the
housing, do the following:
1. Stop the machine.
2. Disconnect the ignition wire from the spark plug.
3. Put the ignition wire behind the stop lever.
4. Remove the intake cap.
WARNING: Do not put your fingers into the housing.
Severe injury to the fingers or operator
could occur.
5. Use a tool to reach into the intake housing to remove the
object.
When using the machine on uneven areas, set the casters to an
outward position.
