SAFEPRACTICES
1. It is your responsibility to read this manual and all publications associated with this machine (engine, accesso-
ries and attachments).
2. Never allow anyone to operate or service the machine or its attachments without proper training and instructions.
Never allow minors to operate any equipment.
3. Learn the proper use of the machine, the location and purpose of all the controls and gauges before you operate
the equipment. Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead to accidents.
4. Wear all the necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) on your head, eyes, ears, hands and feet. Ear and
eye protection are required. Operate the machine only in daylight or in good artificial light.
5. Inspect the area where the equipment will be used. Beware of overhead obstructions and underground ob-
stacles. Stay alert for hidden hazards.
6. Never operate equipment that is not in perfect working order or without decals, guards, shields, or other protec-
tive devices in place.
7. Never disconnect or bypass any switch.
8. Carbon monoxide in the exhaust fumes can be fatal when inhaled, never operate a machine without proper
ventilation.
9. Never use your hands to search for oil leaks. Hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause
serious injury.
10. This machine demands your attention. To prevent loss of control or tipping of the vehicle:
A. Use extra caution in backing up the vehicle. Ensure area is clear.
B. Do not stop or start suddenly on any slope.
C. Reduce speed on slopes and in sharp turns. Use caution when changing directions on slopes.
D. Stay alert for holes in the terrain and other hidden hazards.
E. Operate equipment up and down slopes, never across the face.
11. Before leaving operator’s position for any reason:
A Disengage all drives.
B. Lower all attachments to the ground.
C. Shut engine off and remove the ignition key.
12. Keep hands, feet and clothing away from moving parts. Wait for all movement to stop before you clean, adjust or
service the machine.
13. The rubber fingers, sweeper and vacuum pick up and propel debris and small objects in the machines path
during operation. Keep the area of operation clear of all bystanders.
14. Never carry passengers.
15. Use parts and materials supplied by SMITHCO only. Do not modify any function or part.
16. Avoid sharp turns. Watch the tires of the tractor while turning to make sure they do not contact the tongue of the
BigVac.
17. Shut down power source before attempting to unclog any part of the machine.
18. If reel deck and/or blower began to vibrate abnormally, immediately shut off power and determine the cause.
These machines are intended for professional maintenance on golf courses, sports turf, and any other
area maintained turf and related trails, paths and lots. No guaranty as to the suitability for any task is

Introduction
SETUP
The Big Vac V72-E arrives from with some setup required.
1. You will need a 40 HP (minimum) tow vehicle to remove the Big Vac V72-E from the trailer.
a. Clevis Hitch - You will need a 3/4diameter by 4" pin with some type of lock.
b. 3-Point Ball Hitch (optional) - You will need a 2" ball and a locking pin for the coupler.
2. Crank the jack on the Big Vac V72-E up so you can hook to tow vehicle.
3. Check the tire pressure. Big Vac V72-E: 18 psi (1.3 bar) Castor Wheels: 20 psi (1.4 bar).
4. Check hydraulic fluid level in tank. Look at the sight gauge on the front left side of the tank. The oil level should be
at 90°C (194°F). If level is low, add SAE 10W-40 API Service SJ or higher motor oil.
5. Machine should be greased before starting. See Maintenance part of manual.
6. Lower reel all the way down. Place rubber boot onto the bottom of the blower housing. Raise the reel up 3/4 of the
way. Stretch rubber boot around lip on reel. Lift and lower several times to ensure boot is on properly.
7. Read operating instructions before starting.
Connecting battery cables to the wrong post could result in
personal injury and/or damage to the electrical system.
Make sure battery and cables do not interfere or rub on
any moving part. Connect the red positive(+) cable (A) to
the battery first. When disconnecting remove the black
negative(-) cable (B) first.
7. Check the engine oil and add as necessary. The dip stick is located
on the right side, to the back of the engine. Oil fill is located on top of
valvecover,useSAE 10W-40APIServiceSJ or higher motoroil.DO
NOTOVERFILL.
8. Check coolant level. Coolant tank is located on the left side of the
engine.
9. Fill fuel tank, located on right side, with Unleaded 87 Octane gasoline (minimum).
Fuel is flammable. Caution must be used when storing or handling it. Do not fill fuel tank
while engine is running or in an enclosed area. Fumes are explosive and dangerous to
inhale. DO NOT SMOKE while filling the fuel tank. DO NOT OVERFILL.
10. Check hydraulic fluid level intank. Remove cap and add SAE 10W-40APIService SJ or higher motor oil if
necessary. Fluid level should be about 2"-21/2" (5 - 6.4 cm) from the top of the tank when cold.
11. Machine shouldbe greased before starting. SeeMaintenance part of manual.
12. Readoperatinginstructions before starting.

Introduction
SETUP
Before servicing or making adjustments to machine, stop engine on tow vehicle and remove key from
ignition.
Use all procedures and parts prescribed by the manufacturer's. Read the engine manual
before operation.
LUBRICATION
UseNo.2GeneralPurpose Lithium Base
Grease and lubricate DAILY. The Big Vac
has 13 grease fittings. All bearings are
sealedbearings. When inserting grease,
be careful not to ruin the seal, if this hap-
pens, replace the bearing at once. Be
sureto wipe grease fitting cleanbefore
injecting grease. Give only one or two
pumpsof grease at each lubrication.
REF# LOCATION
1 One on all four castor
wheels.
2 Two onthefan shaft.
3 Oneoneachmountedbearingforreelshaft.
4 One on all four castor wheel mount brackets.
5 One on the jack stand.
HYDRAULICOIL
1. Use SAE 10W-40API Service SJ or higher motor oil.
2. Forproper warranty,changeoil every 500 hours orannually, which ever is firstandchange the filter after
thefirst 20 hours, then at 100 hours, thenevery250hours thereafter.
3. Inspect hydraulic lines for damage or leaks. Never use hands to inspect leaks.
4. Check hydraulic fluid level in tank. Look at the sight gauge on the front left side of the tank. The oil level
should be at 90°C (194°F). If level is low, add SAE 10W-40API Service SJ or higher motor oil.
5. Afterchanging oil and/orfilter, operate themachinefora few minutes. Check oil level and for leaks.
6. Always use caution when filling hydraulic oil tank or checking level to keep system free of contaminants.
Checkandservice more frequently when operating in extremely cold, hot or dustyconditions.
7. If natural color of fluid is now black or smells burnt, it is possible that an overheating problem exists.
8. If fluid becomes milky, water contamination may be a problem.
9. Ifeither of the above conditions happen, changeoiland filter immediately after fluid is cool andfindcause.
Take fluid level readings when system is cold.
10. In extreme temperatures you can use straight weight oil. We recommend SAE 30WAPI Service SJ or
higherwhen hot (above90°F(33°C)) and SAE10WAPI Service SJor higher whencold(below 32°F (0°C))
ambient temperature. Use either motor oil or hydraulic oil, but do not mix.
11. Oil being added to the system must be the same as what is already in the tank. Mark tank fill area as to
which type you put in.
