PREPARING THE DECK BOOT

• View the boot templates that are provided. Select the template that corresponds with the

discharge opening of your mowing deck. If a template does not exist for your mower, then

one will need to be created.

•To create a custom template:

¾mark around your discharge opening on a piece of cardboard.

¾Tape the template to the face of the boot, locating the template approximately ½” from

the front edge and ¼” down from the top (keep as close to the top as possible).

¾Mark the outline of the template onto the face of the boot using a white crayon, nail, or

scribe.

¾Drill a starting hole inside the outline. Use a key-hole saw or equivalent to cut out the

opening. Be sure not to cut the hole too big the first time.

¾Position the boot over the deck opening and check for fit of cutout. If necessary, trim

the cutout. Keep the fit as close as possible for best vacuum suction.

• A selection of boot brackets are provided. Some bending may be required. Drilling of

holes into your existing deck may be necessary, as well as drilling into the top of the boot.

ATTENTION!

WE HAVE MADE EVERY ATTEMPT TO PROVIDE HARDWARE

TO MOUNT THE DECK BOOT TO VARIOUS LAWN MOWING

MANUFACTURERS. DUE TO CONSTANT CHANGES IN DESIGNS

OF MOWING DECKS SOME ADAPTATION MAY BE NECESSARY.

The operation of any lawn vacuum 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. Children are often attracted to the machine and the mowing

activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.

OPERATING YOUR LAWN VACUUM

INTENDED USE

The Lawn Vacuum is designed to vacuum grass clippings and leaves from yards. It is not

intended to vacuum over gravel, sand, rock, etc., or any other material that will damage the

impeller blades. The Lawn Vacuum is not designed to exceed 5 MPH. It should be towed by an

approved lawn tractor only. Refer to the owners manual of the lawn tractor and be sure not to

exceed the tow rating . The combined weight of the Lawn Vacuum and its contents will vary

depending upon the fill level of the bag and the moisture content of the grass clippings. The

vehicle tow rating should be at least 1000 lbs.

The Lawn Vacuum is not designed to tow behind our patented Trailmowers®.

TO START ENGINE

See engine manufacturer’s recommendation for the type and amount of oil and fuel used.

• Make sure the tow vehicle parking brake is set and vacuum is level. Engine must be

level to accurately check and fill oil. Do not overfill.

• Check spark plug wire, oil, and fuel.

• Set engine idle to CHOKE position.

• Grasp pull-rope handle and pull out slowly until engine reaches start of compression

cycle. Pull the rope with a single fluid motion. Let the rope recoil slowly. Repeat the

above instruction 4 or 5 times until engine fires.

• Once engine is running, move CHOKE control to RUN position.

TO STOP ENGINE

• Move the throttle control lever to the OFF position.

• Disconnect spark plug wire from plug to prevent accidental starting while equipment is

unattended or is being worked on.
