Wheeled Vacuum nozzle.
2. Remove the plastic cap from the nozzle.
3. Attach the end of the vacuum hose opposite the hose nozzle
to the nozzle of the Wheeled Vacuum.
4. Align the hose with the machine so that the hose handle is
upright when installed.
5. Attach the vacuum hose to the nozzle with the hose clamp

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Adjust the engine to the desired throttle setting (see owners
manual for starting instructions).

4. Use the handle attached to the hose to easily maneuver the

the hose as straight as possible to prevent clogging. To avoid
clogging, do not vacuum too much material at once.

the Wheeled Vacuum.
8. If the hose becomes clogged or jammed, stop the engine to
