SECTION 6: SERVICING YOUR YARD VACUUM
Drive Control Cable Adjustment
Adjust the drive control cable if the yard vacuum does
not self propel with the drive control engaged, or if the
unit hesitates while the engine maintains the same
speed after approximately 20 hours of use.
To move the z-fitting of the drive control cable from its
factory set position in the front hole of the drive control
to the rear hole, proceed as follows:
• Remove the drive control by pushing the right side
of the control out of the right hole in the upper
handle. Pivot control down towards the lower
handle and then straight up to remove it from the
left hole in the upper handle. See Figure 13A.
Figure 13
• There is now sufficient slack in the drive control
cable to grasp the z-fitting with your hand and move
it from the front hole to the rear hole of the drive
control. See Figure 13B.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to insert the z-fitting into the
rear hole as it was inserted in the front hole, that is from
the outside of the drive control.
• You may now carefully reinstall the drive control by
performing the previous steps in the opposite order
and manner of removal.
IMPORTANT: Once assembled and prior to restarting,
make sure that the cable is properly adjusted. With the
drive control disengaged, the unit should freely pull in
reverse.
Removing The Flail Screen
If the discharge area becomes clogged, remove the flail
screen and clean area as follows:
• Stop the engine and make certain the Yard
Vacuum has come to a complete stop.
• Before unclogging the discharge chute,
disconnect and ground the spark plug wire to
retaining post.
• Remove the bag or blower chute from the unit as
instructed in the OPERATION section to obtain
access to flail screen. See Figure 14.

• Remove the three self tapping screws securing the
belt cover, and remove the belt cover. See Figure
15.
