GROUND SPEED can be varied by applying slight downward

pressure to handle during operation (to allow drive wheels

partial slippage) or by changing the engine rpm.

For improved control in confined areas, this machine can be

freewheel pushed forward or backward by releasing the

operator's bail and pushing machine.

This vacuum is self-propelled. To engage the drive, pull

operator's bail against operator's handle. The drive is disen-

gaged by releasing the operator's bail.

Never store engine indoors or in enclosed poorly venti-

lated areas with fuel in tank, where fuel fumes may reach an

open flame, spark or pilot light, as on a furnace, water heater,

clothes dryer or other gas appliance.

If engine is to be unused for 30 days or more, prepare as

follows:

Be sure engine is cool. Do not smoke. Remove all

gasoline from carburetor and fuel tank to prevent gum deposits

from forming on these parts and causing possible malfunction

of engine. Drain fuel outdoors, into an approved container,

away from open flame. Run engine until fuel tank is empty and

engine runs out of gasoline.

Using two people to lift machine is recommended. Lift holding the

handle and front of nozzle. Secure in place during transport.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer (such as Sta-Bil) is an acceptable

alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits

during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or

storage container. Always follow mix ratio found on stabilizer

container. Run engine at least 10 min. after adding stabilizer to

allow it to reach the carburetor.

Do not store with debris in bag.

Before turning machine off, use the Tamper to slowly push

remaining pieces of wood through the chipper. This can prevent

any remaining wood from jamming in the chipper when machine

is turned off.
