3.2 VACUUMING
The towable truck loader is designed to suck in leaves and
other debris the blow it into a trailer or truck.
1. Keep hands, or any part of body or clothing away from
the hose inlet, discharge chute, or any moving part.
2. Maintain proper balance and footing at all times.
3. Run unit at full operating speed before starting to
vacuum.
3.4 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. 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.
3.3 STOPPING
1. Move the throttle to between half and full throttle.
2. Turn the key to OFF.
1. Check engine oil level before starting. Add oil if low,
but do not overfill.
2. Refer to Honda Engine Owners Manual for specific start-
ing instructions.
3. Move choke lever to the ON position.
4. Move the throttle approximately 1/2 way.
5. Turn the key and release it when the engine starts,
allow the key to return to the ON position.
6. Release the key if the engine fails to start within 10
seconds. Allow a 60 second cool down period between
starting attempts if the engine does not start. Failure
to follow these guidelines can cause permanent dam-
age to the starter.
7. Shut off the starter immediately if it does not turn over
the engine. Make no further attempts to start the en-
gine until the condition is corrected.
8. Gradually move the choke lever to the OFF position as
the engine warms.
