ENGAGING THE DRIVE
Operation
The self propelled Bear Vac Pros are engaged with the clutch
engagement bail located on the handlebar. When the bail is
brought to the bar the clutch is engaged and the machine
moves forward. When the bail is released the speed of the
machine can be adjusted between five forward settings us-
ing the transmission shift control located on the right of the
handlebar. To shift into reverse, first release wheel drive clutch.
Then pull the shift lever out and back. Engage the transaxle

BEATERBAR ADJUSTMENTS
Fig. #10, Transmission shift control
Fig. #11, Adjusting Beaterbar height
Fig. #12, Adjusting Inlet Door
There are two adjustments that can be made on the
beaterbar. The first will set the height of the beaterbar, and
the second limits how much material enters the beaterbar.
Beaterbar height:
The height of the beaterbar in relation to the ground can be
changed by turning the Beaterbar Height Adjuster. Turning
the lever clockwise raises the beaterbar. Turning the lever
counterclockwise lowers the beaterbar.
Adjusting Inlet Door:
The inlet door can also be adjusted. Pulling on the lever
raises the door. Pushing on the lever lowers the door. The
door must be raised when vacuuming dense or deep material.
The door must be lowered when vacuuming sparse material
to achieve the same degree of compaction. This control is a
friction device and the tension can be adjusted. Tighten or
loosen the friction point as desired.
