OPERATING YOUR LAWN VACUUM The operation of any mower can produce foreign objects to be thrown into the eyes, resulting in severe eye damage. Always wear certified safety glasses or wide-vision safety goggles over spectacles before starting any cutting machine and while operating such a machine. The operation of any engine produces sound waves that are damaging to the human ear. Ear protection is recommended. CAUTION! Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children.
VACUUM AND EMPTY • Inspect the Lawn Vacuum to make sure all covers, tailgate, deck adapter, elbow, hose adapter, and hose are properly attached. • Check tires for proper inflation. • Check oil and gas in vacuum and lawn tractor engines. • Begin operation at low speed, adjust forward speed to match grass height and/or moisture condition to prevent clogging. Should your Lawn Vacuum become clogged, shut off tractor and vacuum engines.
VACUUM MAINTENANCE CAUTION! ALWAYS STOP ENGINE AND DISCONNECT SPARK PLUG WIRE BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS AND/OR REPAIRS. • Replace the spark plug at the beginning of each mowing season. • Keep the air cleaner free of debris. • Change the oil after the first 5 hours of operation then change the oil every 25 hours of operation. • Rotate hoses from end to end after every 25 hours of use and rotate each hose ¼ turn after every mowing season. This keeps debris from building up in one area.
