COMMERCIAL LEAF and LAWN VACUUM
1. Disconnect the Collector Box Hose from the Blower
Exit Elbow by releasing the two (2) Flexible Latches
(Figure 36) and separate the Hoses.
2. Remove the Rear Panel of the Collector Box by
releasing the six (6) Fasteners located at the sides,
top, and bottom of the Panel. Lift the Rear Panel off
the mounting Pins on the Collector Box Cover.
3. While holding down on the Dump Handle, pull the
Dump Lever (Figure 37) to unlock the Tilt Bed and
then raise the Tilt Bed using the Dump Handle
(Figure 38).
4. After dumping the load, lower the Tilt Bed until the
Dump Lever locks into place (Figure 38), and
replace the Rear Panel.
Tip: Give the Dump Handle a little shake after emptying
the Collector Box to loosen up the remaining
material. Then drive forward about a foot with the
Collector Box in the dump position. Shake the
Handle again and then lower the Tilt Bed back down
until the Dump Lever locks into place. This usually
gets all but a small amount of material to dump
from the Collector Box. Clean or wipe away the
remaining material and you are ready to reinstall the
Rear Panel.
Tip: For heavy loads, it may be necessary to manually
remove part of the load before dumping to reduce
the tipping effort.
5. Re-connect the Collector Box Hose to the Blower
Exit Elbow.
