Operating Safety
Towing the DR LEAF and LAWN VACUUM
1. Make sure you firmly attach the DR LEAF and LAWN VACUUM Hitch to
your Lawn Tractor using the Hitch Pin and Hitch Clip (Figure 76).
2. If equipped with a Jack, make sure the wheel is in the fully raised position
and the Jack Safety Pin is installed to lock it in place.
3. Make sure the Collector Cart is on the Frame with the Dump Lever locked
over the Latch Pin (Figure 77), the Enclosure Sleeve is over the Outlet
Chute (Figure 78), and the Inlet Hose Cuff is securely attached to the Deck
Adapter on your Tractor (Figure 79).
Use common sense when using the machine. Learn to recognize the change in sounds when overloaded. Stop the engine
immediately if the machine becomes jammed to prevent damage to the machine.
• If equipped, raise the Jack caster wheel as far as it will go and install the
locking pin prior to towing this equipment. An extended Jack caster
wheel can be damaged or deformed if it hits the ground or an object.
• The DR Leaf and Lawn Vacuum is not equipped for highway use.
• Never put your hands inside the vacuum hose while the engine is running. Always stop the engine and disconnect the spark
plug wire before clearing the vacuum hose.
• Do not refuel the engine while it is hot or running.
