WALK-BEHIND LEAF & LAWN VACUUM
Before Starting the Engine
• INSPECT THE AREA WHERE YOU WILL BE WORKING. THE SITE MUST BE FREE OF POTENTIALLY
HAZARDOUS OBSTACLES SUCH AS LARGE STONES OR STICKS. ALSO, MAKE SURE THERE WILL NOT BE
PEOPLE OR ANIMALS IN THE AREA AROUND THE DR WALK-BEHIND LEAF & LAWN VACUUM.
• MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE DEBRIS BAG IS PROPERLY LATCHED IN PLACE.
1. Check the engine oil level every time you use the machine (see Figure 10
on page 21).
2. Check the gasoline level (see Figure 10 on page 21).
3. Remove any built up debris from the Vacuum Nozzle.
4. Place the machine on level ground.
Manual-Starting
NOTE: You may use this starting method with both Manual and Electric-Starting models; however, make sure the
Electric-Start Toggle Switch Lever is in the center position (straight UP) for the Electric-Start models.
1. Push the Throttle Control Lever (Figure 11 on page 23)
all the way forward to the fast (Rabbit) position.
2. If your model has an Engine Primer, push the Primer Bulb IN (see Figure 10
on page 21) and
completely release it, lifting your finger and letting it pop back to its original position. Repeat three to
four times.
NOTE: Priming is usually not necessary when restarting a warm engine. In cool weather, you may need to repeat
the priming procedure.
3. Grasp the Recoil Starter Handle (Figure 10 on page 21)
and slowly pull until you feel resistance. Let the
cord retract a little bit, then pull the cord rapidly to start the engine. One or two pulls usually starts the
DR WALK-BEHIND LEAF & LAWN VACUUM. It may be necessary to repeat the priming operation if the
machine does not start within two pulls.
4. Move the Throttle back to the desired operating speed; however, we recommend that you operate the
engine in the fast (Rabbit) position for optimum performance of the DR WALK-BEHIND LEAF & LAWN
VACUUM.
